30 Days of Thanks
Celebrating life and emphasizing thankfulness, even at moments when it feels like there isn’t much for which to be thankful. A gratitude project contributed to for 30 days every November.

Post November Gratitude
📍 ColoradoApparently, I needed a little blogging break and didn’t even know it. I’m not sure that I’ve every gone as long between posts as I did between now and and my previous post – a whole month – and I’m already feeling rusty from the absence of writing. Even though I did not manage a…

Preparing for November and 30 Days of Thanks
Fall is flying by. It seems like only just recently we were choosing pumpkins at a pumpkin patch and now I realized we need to carve them tonight because tomorrow is Halloween! I cannot believe that October is ending. Actually, it’s not that I can’t believe it, it is that I am completely in denial about…

Post-Thanksgiving Gratitude
📍 WyomingThis is my last thankful post for 30 Days of Thanks. On Thanksgiving there was so much to be thankful for: both girls cooperating so that Chris and I could sleep in until 9:30(!), of course delicious food, Chris being home with us when we thought he was going to have to be at work,…

Thankful for New Beginnings
📍 WyomingAnother week of thanks has flown by and it is nearly the end of this little project. If this year is anything like last year, it will feel very strange December 1st to not post what I am thankful for and to not be able to read other people’s 30 Days of Thanks posts. I…

30 Days of Thanks Time Warp
📍 WyomingI thought I might take a moment to throw up a post for those of you (hi Grandma!) who don’t use Facebook or Instagram. I have been doing 30 Days of Thanks there but haven’t had too much time to blog so I’m going to play a little catch up on blogging my thankfulness from…

30 Days of Thanks: How Things Turned Out
📍 WyomingI posted a silly Instagram yesterday about being thankful for bucket car seats so I could get things done while Zara snoozed, but in reality the past few days I have been thankful for much, much bigger things. You see, one year ago today my husband came home from a meeting with his employers with…

30 Days of Thanks: Ms. J
📍 WyomingToday I am thankful for our wonderful mother’s helper/babysitter. “Ms. J” comes to our house two mornings a week which enables me to catch up on cleaning, work on websites, and even go to regular P.E.O. meetings again. The girls love her and she is phenomenal with them — she even plays the games that…

30 Days of Thanks: My Mom
📍 WyomingToday, I am thankful for my mom. She was the very best mom she could be through some really tough situations, and she never gave up on me. We definitely had some rocky moments when I was a teenager (boy, do I have karma coming to me the second the girls turn 12…), but we…

30 Days of Thanks: Diwali
📍 WyomingYesterday was Diwali and, as is our tradition, we celebrated with a big party filled with friends, food, and candle light. I was too tired last night to manage two blog posts, but hopefully I can do two today and then I will be all caught up on 30 Days of Thanks. Yesterday, day 3,…

30 Days of Thanks, Day 2 (a little late)
📍 WyomingThis is just a quick, late, for-the-record post. I laid down with Zara last night and completely passed out — when I finally opened my eyes, it was 7 am. Not that I am complaining, mind you, but there were a couple things I had intended to do like share my gratitude for the day.…

30 Days of Thanks Day 1
📍 WyomingHere’s my short and sweet day 1 post: Earlier today I was thankful for the surprise two hour nap both girls got out of a car ride and the garage that enabled me to let them sleep. But I sort of paid for that time at bedtime with Nora, so I think what I really…

30 Days of Thanks
📍 WyomingNot too long after I hit publish on my post about starting a school, I realized that I can’t be as absent from the blog as I had written, because there is no way I can let November go by without doing another 30 Days of Thanks post. Two years ago, I started a tradition…
