Great list Tanya!!! I love how you appreciate the smallest things! They are some of the most precious!
ReplyDeleteMy "Celebrating Living Thanksgiving" article is up and posted, finally...LOL. Its been a rough morning! I would be so honored if you came and joined the party! :D
Blessings!
enjoyed reading your Thanksgiving list. It is amazing how when you begin this journey - your eyes are seeking along with your heart. :) Have a great week - thankful everyone is well.
ReplyDeleteHey Tanya! I love your list. . . and I love the idea of stopping to be purposefully thankful! :)
ReplyDeleteTanya, That is a GREAT list!You have inspired me to make a list of my own. Thank YOU for that!
ReplyDeleteHave a pretty day! Kristin
What a wonderful list! It makes me think of all the things we tend to over look as blessings. Its the small things that matter.
ReplyDeleteGood list!!! Love the orange cup--hope your mom doesn't read your blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are great ones yet again. I love the part about the rain boots. You would DEFINITELY get along swimmingly with my younger daughter. I think she secretly does rain dances.
ReplyDeleteLove the rain boots - they are ADORABLE! I had to LOL about the Orange cup - besides ME, you are the only other person I KNOW that prefers to drink out of a CUP rather than a GLASS. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was the impression I got from it being your favorite cup! HA! I love your list! Thanks for sharing! :) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI have searched everywhere for those rainboots can you please tell me where you got them or who they are made by?
