gratitude notes. #fridayfaves


friday is about being grateful
seeing the little things
remembering to breathe
finding joy

write yours. link up below.

dear almost 100 year old piano
I am so grateful for the memories
and hours of time that I am blessed to sit at you and play
Mozart, Beethoven, and more.
Love the history and the music.


dear caleb
with your freckly freckly face
I just love you so much 
and how you love to tell me that 
today is the best day ever
and then give me a hug and kiss.


dear legos
Thanks for the hours and hours and hours
of play that you provide my kids
but, I really really really dislike stepping on you
and finding bricks everywhere.


dear toys on the stairs
at least you were large 
and not teeny lego scattered about
but as I wrote on this post
I would rather be thankful for the hands that played with them then get frustrated over the mess.


dear kristen brown
thank you so much for letting me review your book
The Happy Hour Effect
I am so blessed to know you.
And for those of you interested
read my review here {live at 10am}
and enter to win your own copy of this excellent book.


dear ikea bookcase
you've made my life feel organized
and I need more organization.
Love love love love having you in my home.


dear simple things
like candle and coobooks on my table
thank you for blessing my moments
with bits of stillness and peace
in the midst of the busy.


dear udi's gluten free
thank you for making great bread
and for being an excellent company.
and letting me work for you.
join me there at Udi's Gluten Free
and finally

dear brennan
today on your ninth birthday
today I celebrate you

and the gift it is for me to simply be your mother.

Happy Birthday Brennan.

"Monotony becomes beautiful", lovely. I believe I've commented about your photos before. They are spectacular. I feel I have a window into your life.
