Grateful Monday

And here we are to another Monday!  Things have been pretty busy around here lately, but it's all been worth it.  

So to start my week, here are five things that I'm grateful for today:

  • All of the wonderful people in my life.  We attended a funeral this past weekend.  It was a good reminder to me to really appreciate my loved ones.
  • My husband and I are headed to Colorado for a quick, mountain getaway this weekend. I can't wait!
  • Fall is in the air.  Warm days with cool, crisp mornings and evenings.  I just love this time of year.
  • Pumpkin spice lattes.  This is an indulgence that I look forward to all year long!
  • Balance.  Though we are quite busy, I feel like I have finally achieved some balance in my life and it feels amazing.  I'll write more on this later...

Grateful Monday

Five things I'm grateful for today:

  • We spent a wonderful long weekend at Camp Ondessonk, reconnecting with old friends.  I am physically exhausted but feel a renewed energy from spending time with some of the most amazing people I know.
  • Liam was such a trooper on his first camping trip!  The pouring rain didn't even bother him.  He slept well.  He ate well.  He had a blast.
  • My dear husband.  This weekend was a success because we worked together to make it happen.  From changing diapers to finding a missing pacifier, everything we did, we did as a team.  
  • A friend who walked back into my life after 15 years.  The moment I saw her, we started talking and it was like we had seen each other yesterday.  Those kinds of friendships are simply the best.
  • A few more fun weekends ahead to look forward to.  We are extending summer as long as we can around here!
