Happy December!

I knew I should have trusted my instincts and said no but curiosity got the better of me and I watched this anyway. I think I might have nightmares tonight!

Happy December 1st peeps! 

I was just getting used to it being 2011 and now it's almost over!

Thankful for Day 24

Today I am thankful for THANKSGIVING!

I am thankful for the time I took this month to live in thanksgiving and how it has enriched my life.

Thankful for Day 23

Today I am thankful for hard days. They make you appreciate all the good things in your life and help you grow as an individual. Today was a hard day but I am thankful for it.

Thankful for Days 21 & 22

So I have to say yesterday I was thankful for the fact that I get to spend five out of seven days in the week at home with my little one. We have all day to snuggle, count, read, do chores, make good meals, take naps, plan the budget, and just to learn and grown from each other in general. It is so great.

And today I am thankful for unkind people who are rude to me on the phone (bad day at work) because it just further reminds me how NOT to act and when to admit my mistakes!

Thankful for Day 20

So going along with yesterday's post, today I would like to say I am thankful for technology, especially the internet.  I love how easy it is to stay connected with friends and family on such an intimate level through blogging and Facebook. The world is such a big place and I love that we have it all at our fingertips. 

Although some people like to see the world through one of these...

(Awesome car we saw at Hastings...had to post a picture. It's a Twinkie!)

Thankful for Day 19

Today I am thankful for... 

A friend sent me an invite at the beginning of the summer and then Jared's sister sent me one a few weeks ago so I finally caved and joined and I am so so glad I did.

I just love having a place to store and organize the ideas I come across online. I always used to see great ideas and would forget where the tutorials were or something and now I can sort out all the things I find which is nice, especially once you join the blogging world!

Nicely organized Pin boards!

My sister in law pinned this recipe for potato soup in the crock pot and said it was awesome.

I easily found it by looking on her recipe's pin board and we tried it out today. It was awesome topped with cheese, sour cream and cooked bacon that I cut into small pieces.

Here is the link to the recipe: http://pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com/2011/03/outback-aint-got-nothin-on-me.html

Or if you would like to join Pinterest (you need an invite from someone to do so) comment with your email and I will send you one!

Happy pinning!

Thankful for Day 18

Today I am thankful for questions. When I question things and others question me, I learn. I love that.

And really, I am looking forward to the day when JR questions EVERYTHING!
