I am grateful for...

Youtube videos that inspire me and make me smile...





A husband who chose to do this for a living...


Here...

That sounds like this...




Two beautiful children who bring me joy every day.




and time I get at home during the day with this one...



and while he's napping with these...



and this...



and sometimes this...



I could go on all day about what I'm grateful for, but today I have a sick girl at home who wants to play this...


so, to be continued...
