Another weekend, something to be thankful for all by itself. Time to relax, time to spend with the family, time to bake, time to sleep...
Ten more things to be thankful for this week (plus a couple extra):
1. My mom, for jumping in on really short notice when hubby and I had parallel evening engagements.
2. Having a great job where I can spontaneously decide on a Casual Wednesday, since I had a business appointment on Friday.
3. Hubby for an awesome crockpot chili.
4. Wonderful neighbors, who are more friends than just neighbors. We'll so miss them once we move!
5. Meeting fun new people at the company's cook-out.
6. Not barfing in the bus this morning. Coffee on a very empty and sensitive stomach first thing after a way too short night was not the best idea!
7. Getting to watch Violet crawl into my bed after breakfast, cuddle with her Daddy, and fall back to sleep.
8. Cuddles with Lily this morning.
9. Sleeping in this morning.
10. Family breakfast.
11. Chocolate gingerbread and hot apple punch.
12. Getting to fall asleep next to the love of my life every night, and getting to wake up next to him every morning.
And not to forget 13: the decision not to blog on Sundays for the time being. Time with the family, preparing gifts for the holidays, doing chores around the house... I just need a day off so bad...
Thanks a lot to Lizzi for hosting!!
Great list! Those kid in the bed cuddles are awesome, aren't they? And yay for a Hubby who cooks dinner!
ReplyDeleteThose cuddles are perfect!! And hubby cooking is glorious! Definitely thankful that he is willing (and able) to cook ;-)
DeleteI have also not been blogging on Sundays and it has been truly glorious. I must say the weekends in general are so much laid back, because of this and ending on the Thankful not once a week. So here is to no more blogging on Sundays and hoping your weekend is going well so far, Stephanie!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janine! All errand completed today, and tomorrow we're planning on going to a bunny show in town.. The girls are so excited ;-)
DeleteHave a great rest of the weekend, Janine!
A lovely list - and I can certainly appreciate the need for a day of just family being together - it's such a special time, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is, Katy! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Deletesounds like a very good week!
ReplyDeletewe have Una (our Chodsky pes) who also likes to jump in bed between us in the morning, always good to have priorities confirmed first thing in the day!
That is true, Clark! I could cuddle the little one all day long.. They rather play and do stuff though..
DeleteAwesome list! good for you taking a day off from blogging to be with your family.
ReplyDelete#11 sounds soooo good!
Have a great week.
It's really good, even though I honestly prefer the mulled wine over the apple punch..
DeleteHave a great week as well, Natalia!!
#11 sounds really yummy! I've never had chocolate gingerbread, but it sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteIt's really, really delicious!! I'll share a recipe once I start baking for the holidays, Kristi!
DeleteI think #12 is my favorite. It is a blessing to be able to say such a thing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough #6 was pretty good. It's always good to avoid barfing.
Enjoy your Sunday!
I really know ho lucky I am!! I admit, every once in a while I enjoy sleeping in weekend mornings and have the bed all by myself. But generally, I hate sleeping by myself ;-)
DeleteCrockpot chili! Now I would love a sample!
ReplyDeleteIt was really yummie. I'm sure it's going to be a winter favorite ;-)
DeleteGreat list! your #11 sounds soooo good. Cuddles and sleeping in are always good, glad you have those in your life.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks so much, Natalia! Cuddles are the best!
DeleteLoved it when the kids would climb into bed with us and fall back asleep! My 6'3" college boy still likes to climb into bed with us occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure everyone on the bus is thankful that you didn't barf, either.
Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!
Your college boy is the best!! Love it if guys show how much they love their parents ;-)
DeleteWe had a great Sunday, thanks, Dyanne! I hope you had an equally great start into this new week!
Sleeping in and wonderful neighbors. Yes. Yes. yes.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! I really, really appreciate having great neighbors like them!!
DeleteCrockpot chili- one of my favorites! Add some cornbread and I'm sold :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have a cornbreas recipe that does not include any mixes?? If so, please share, Kate!!
DeleteCuddling with kiddos, family breakfast, chili, mom to the rescue....great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jennifer! It was a really good week!
DeleteSuch a wonderful list! :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI had, Jen! Thanks so much!! I hope you had a great start into the new week!
DeleteLove the list! I can totally relate to the husband who cooks :)
ReplyDeleteCame to your site after seeing a comment on Robbie K 's blog. Are you doing NaBloPoMo too? It's my first time and so happy to check out some great blogs. :)
I'm not doing NaBloPoMo, just post a lot in general, Shailaja ;-) Glad your husband is taking charge in the kitchen as well ;-) Thank you so much for stopping by!
DeleteCuddles, sleeping in and chocolate...anything are cause for THANKFULS!!
ReplyDeleteNice list!
Thanks so much, Kari!! I had such a great weekend!!
DeleteThanks so much, Lizzi! I have to admit, the gingerbread (or lebkuchen) was store-bought. But I'll bake this season and definitely will share!! Maybe we shoudl swap recipes ;-)
ReplyDeleteSO many blessings listed here! Family, friends, not barfing, sweet hubby making dinner and cuddles!! Awesomeness! Hope this week is just as wonderful!
ReplyDeleteNot barfing is always something to be thankful for.. Hang-over is definitely something that comes with age for me ;-)
