Category: 30 Days of Gratitude

I’m grateful for the farmers who grow and raise our food. I’m also thankful that they have horses and ponies for my inner child to enjoy.

I’m thankful this little pup has been a part of our family for nearly eight years. He has small dog quirks, but he’s changed my mind about small dogs.

I’m thankful for the simple pleasure a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds brings me. No matter the time of year, a sunny, blue day always looks beautiful.

I’m thankful that we live next to a beautiful forest filled with trails to enjoy the peace and tranquility of nature.

I’m thankful that we have this gorgeous view from our front porch. So relaxing!

I’m thankful we have this gorgeous tree in our backyard that offers support for one end of my hammock. In the spring and summer, it’s brilliantly green. In the fall, it shines golden in the sunshine.

 

I’m grateful that we got some beautiful weather during my vacation so I could enjoy the peak of fall leaves. Look at those beautiful colors!

I’m thankful that the baby of our family turned 6 today. We celebrated with him on Halloween, and I baked a from-scratch, gluten free funfetti cake with cream cheese frosting. Happy Birthday to my little Mario fanatic!

I’m thankful I made it around the sun again. I celebrated my 32nd birthday on October 30th and whipped up this chocolate snickers cake with salted caramel frosting.

I’m thankful that about 45 minutes of door-to-door trick-or-treating yield 1.5 lbs of candy per kid. It was chilly and drizzly, so we cut our time short, but they did well. Happy Day After Halloween!
