I have missed a few weeks of gratitude posting...not because I've been without gratitude, just no time to blog about all the good stuff going on :) I'll spare you the "not-so-good" stuff, it isn't worth mentioning, but it is often times there, amidst the good stuff, and, such is life!!

What beautiful blessings! I make lesson plans in excel too, and I must say it's hard not to be envious of a husband who groceries shops *with kids* :)

I enjoy reading your lists. They help me find more things to be grateful for ... There's always something to be grateful for, even amidst the not-so-good stuff! So true!
