Our Thankful 30 - November 2014

On to a new month... This challenge is from Click it up a notch. It's a perfect way to remind ourselves of all the good things in our life and be thankful for them... 

11/1 | Thankful for little baby feet. These will be my last set of baby feet :(


11/2 | Thankful for coffee & donuts. Some nights I get zero sleep with 3 kids who don't sleep through the night (not always). 


11/3 | Thankful for brotherly love. Connor (18 mos older) loves to give Dustin hugs and kisses. It's sweet but the reality is it can be challenging when I'm nursing the baby and there's a toddler hugging him and kissing him lol. Logan (age 4) also loves to kiss Dustin but he listens when I tell him Dustin needs to nurse. 


11/4 | Thankful for fresh veggies from mom's garden. Bitter Melons. Not a whole lot of people like this veggie because as it lives up to it's name, it's bitter. But I've been eating this since I was a little girl. My favorite way to eat it then was with scrambled eggs. I still make it the same way my parents do but sometime I'll add meat too.


11/5 | Thankful that my 4 year old still holds my hands (We were sitting on the couch watching TV) ♥


11/6 | Thankful for slings. Sometimes you just need to be hands free.


11/7 | Thankful for hot tea for my sore throat. This is the first of 2 colds I got in November. :(


11/8 | Thankful for fall. He sure loves playing with leaves... saying "It's the perfect season mommy!"


11/9 | Thankful hubby is home on weekends... and doing dishes ^_^


11/10 | Thankful for arts and crafts with this little guy


11/11 | Thankful for my family {all four boys} as there was a time in my life that I thought I would never have children. Read about my Journey to Motherhood here.


11/12 | Thankful for breastfeeding. I struggled to nurse my first child... gave up once, was medicated & got really depressed but I never gave up and i'm glad I didn't because I loved nursing my baby. There's a special bond you can never explain when you are nursing your child. I nursed him until he self weaned around 1.5 years old. Luckily, my body knew what to do with the next 2 and there were no issues with my supply!


11/13 | Thankful for homemade relief for colds. This cold is kicking my butt. I made Vapor Shower Discs & Vapor Rub. This is the Homemade Vapor Rub using Coconut Oil & Essential Oils reusing my facial night cream container. hehe


11/14 | Thankful for bedtime stories. Since before he could hold his head up, Bedtime stories are a special quiet bond for us... well, not so quiet right now with 3 little ones haha


11/15 | Thankful for a nice hot shower... without the kids. We hardly give the kids baths. We just throw them in the shower with us (me) and so every now and then it's nice to take a shower alone. Just me. Steam. Music. :)


11/16 | Thankful for chapstick. If there's one thing I cannot live without, it's chapstick and this (candy cane) one has been my favorite!


11/17 | Thankful for food on our table... In his case it's good on the floor, I. His bib, and occasionally rubbed in his hair lol


11/18 | Thankful for password protection. He's always climbing on my desk.  


11/19 | Thankful for leftovers. I love throwing leftovers in my ramen. 


11/20 - Thankful for the love my boys show towards their youngest brother. 


11/21 | Thankful for having long hair and having the opportunity to cut 21 inches off to donate. 


11/22 | Thankful for forts m a rainy day. 


11/23 | Thankful for TV remotes. When I lost it for a short period of time, I had to manually change channels. It sucked! 


11/24 - Thankful for DIY projects to keep my creative mind going. Making CD sleeves & stickers for my holiday mini sessions. 


11/25 | Thankful to live through childhood again through my boys. Life was simpler then, wasn't it? 


11/26 | Thankful for quick cookie recipes. It's called Betty Crocker cookie mix! Haha


11/27 | Thankful for being able to spend moments like this with the little one. He sure loves baths. 


11/28 | Thankful that my kids still want to be near me.


11/29 | Thankful for fried turkey. Wouldn't want it any other way! 


11/30 | Thankful for a smaller Sriracha bottle (finally!)
