about

I am a Christian, a wife to the funniest and sweetest man on earth, and a stay-at-home Mom of 3 wild and awesome kiddos. After one particularly rough day, I was reminded that I have SO many things to be thankful for, and that gave me the idea to start this blog. Things all around me every day that I don't want to miss. Even on bad days. Even on really stressful days. Even on days when children (that are too old to be throwing fits) scream that they DO. NOT. WANT. PORK. CHOPS. FOR DIIINNNNERRRR!!! When I was a little girl, my Grandmother used to sing the old hymn, "Count your blessings" to me. In the song it says, "Count your blessings, name them ONE BY ONE." In the busyness of life, I want to make sure I take the time to be thankful for every blessing, big or small.

This blog is just my ramblings about taking the time to notice things one by one. Each blessing, each day, each failure, each friend, each beautiful sunset, each embarassing moment, each funny thing my kids say, you get the idea. Just being more present in each moment instead of already thinking about the next thing. Thanks for stopping by.
