{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}

This week I am thankful for:

• My two tots being very excited about going to preschool, and grateful that it gives me two days during the week to work child free.
• Plenty of berries to be found.
• Fresh eggs, I still feel so excited when we go get our eggs every day.

• Getting a chance to work on my bedroom, (my areas are usually the last that I get to) it is feeling very fresh and cozy.
•  A nice visit with my Father in-law & brother in-law. 
• Some quality time with my nephew.
• Misty mornings and sunny afternoons.
• Feeling productive.
• Friends.
• Family diners.
• Tea party's.
• Toddler joys and listening to what they are thankful for.  Rowan always mentions that she is thankful for all the holidays, and is already planning for Halloween.
• Doing crafts with my kids.
• My favorite thing to be thankful for is feeling loved.  My husband is so sweet to me, and my kids have been extra cuddly lately.

This week I am grateful for:

• A week for my little kids and I to spend with just each other.  Daddy was back at work this week preparing for the school year so I took most of the week off to be with Ro & Zo, it was blissful.  We decompressed, played, gardened and prepared for our own school year.
•  Two happy kids this morning, waiting at the door at 7 am, ready for school! (Never mind that school doesn't start till 8:30).  I am glad they are excited, especially since it's Zo's first day.
• The quiet moments, when I remember to soak it all in.
• Pippi's, busy days and new inventory! I think I say it a lot but, man I love fall socks, scarves, hats, tights, leggings, colors, all of it.  I have to stop myself from taking home everything!!!
• Employees that are like family to me, I couldn't wish for more lovely, dedicated people.  (Fun fact, both Pippsters Nicole and Rachael were friends with my little sister growing up, so I have known them a very long time.  And, Nicole has been at Pippi's for six years now).
• Nesting time.  I always feel super driven at the end of summer and beginning of fall to make my home cozy, so I have been sorting through stuff, organizing and beautifying.
• Fresh eggs.
• My great neighbor, who brought us apples from her yard, she inspires me to try to be a better (more neighborly) neighbor.

• My sweet little kids.
• Being so close to a life without diapers!!!
• My husband being inspired and dedicated, I love reading his stories and he is writing almost every day.
• Summer fruit.
• Blackberry picking in the alley, and blackberry cobbler, yummm.
• Family time.
