Time to Give Thanks!

With Thanksgiving around the corner, a lot of emphasis has been placed on being thankful and vocalizing it. Whether it is in conversation with friends, family or updates on Facebook/Myspace/Twitter, everyone has been talking about what they are thankful for.

Here are some of the things that I am thankful for.

Thankful for how my sons both look out for each other's best interest and desires. Then turn around and help each other achieve this desire. I ♥ it!

I am thankful for my husband who was totally cool with me hanging out with some girlfriends while he took the opportunity to cook brinner with the boys. Left the house loving my life and family. Superbaby on the counter, Rockstar on a chair and hubs talking sbout how to make delish pancakes:)

Today I am thankful for participate in crafts with the kids.

So today I take this "challenge" onto my readers. Each day think about what you are thankful for. Say it outloud and spread the word of how great your life is. You can even take it to the next level, in what way you ask? Save some of glass jars with lids and let your creative juices flow. Decorate and add little notes of what you are thankful for in the jar. Remember other members of your family household, big and small.

We are making thankful jars tonight. This will be a jar next to my kitchen sink and will be visible. We will each fill up the jar with thankful notes and share it with each other on Thanksgiving. You can totally make this into the centerpiece for the dinner table or even a "Giving Thanks" gift to someone special. Oh wow, the possibilities are endless.

Tell me what you are thankful for. I sure love hearing all the love out there!

Today before the kids were ready for breakfast we made a sort of countdown towards this holiday. It was simple and cheap! I know as a kid and a grown adult I loved a good 'ole fashion countdown.

This was done with some paper plates a friend brought over awhile back. Just cut a leaf for each day til Thanksgiving and taped it on the plate( which will allow you to detach the leaf without ripping the plate). Did the tradition hand trace out and grabbed some puff paint 'cause this mama sure loves it, hahaha!

Much love,
Nush

P.S Tomorrow we will reveal our pups new name. Stay tuned.
