This used to be a weekly feature over on And a DIY Life, but we’ve decided to move it over here.
Sometimes we forget it’s the little things that matter in life and forget how easy it can be to be happy. So we’re making an effort to ensure that doesn’t happen by listing the things we’re grateful for/appreciate from the previous week every Friday.
♦ Going to see Grandma Lee at a local comedy club.
♦ Saying “yes” to life and going out instead of spending yet another night on the couch at home.
♦ Spending time with my family and catching up. Also seeing my cousin who I haven’t seen in years.
♦ Getting to spend our engagement anniversary together with a surprise half day and a food-filled evening surrounding the Vampire Diaries season 3 on Tuesday.
♦ The new layout on the blog {click over and check it out if you’re reading this via a reader!}
♦ Minimizing my work, our home, and priorities to truly focus on what matters in life.
♦ New Fall TV shows starting soon.
♦ Cooler weather finally hitting Wisconsin and the feel of Fall in the air.
♦ Apple picking season starting soon.
♦ The new Fall Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works that we got, especially the Spiced Pumpkin one.
♦ My new stand-up desk and how productive I’ve become since I started using it.
what are YOU grateful for this week?
I choose solitude over social scenes. Tea and wine over soda and beer. Simplicities over complexities. And chocolate over all of those things any day.
I’m grateful for a healthy little boy who loves to pretend he’s a spy, a husband who works hard, a dog who is really starting to “get” that my back door has a screen in it, and it’s best to wait ’til I open it before she charges through, and the really, really good cup of coffee that’s sitting next to me right now.
Happy Friday!
AH! I’m grateful you guys brought it back! I was still doing the post during the break! So excited to see you doing it again!
I love your new look! Being grateful for the little things is really what makes life so good!!! I’m grateful I just whipped up a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert tonight! And that I got to see my little nephew’s first school program earlier today!
I love your new layout! I can’t wait for fall shows either!
I’m thankful for my amazing artistic boyfriend!
Ah I’m thankful for the cooler weather and I’m so excited for Autumn!!
