NaBloPoMo - Ten Things Of Thankful Style

This Friday night blogging goodness has been brought to you by NaBloPoMo and Ten Things Of Thankful.

Here's ten things I'm thankful for this week:

1. Wide open spaces and mountaintops.

2. Just a little thing called my first television appearance! No big deal.

Also? A big deal.

3. Coffee shops.

4. This kid. She makes me smile every day. And she is pretty cool.

5. Getting to hear the sweet sound of my fake niece when I was talking to her mom on the phone. Fake niece? You know, when your best friend has a baby, and the baby is real, but you aren't really her aunt biologically speaking? That is a fake niece.

Mine is a little over a week old, and she is amazing.

6. Milkshakes of the pumpkin spice cheesecake variety.

7. The comments on this post about being an only child, raising an only child, and mom-guilt. And blog comments in general, really, but these particular comments are a blessing to my heart.

8. Trees. Tall, tall trees.
(Katarina took this picture and gave me permission to share it here.)

9. Family movie night. We watched The Croods, and laughed a lot.

10. NaBloPoMo. It is crazy, but so very fun.

What are you thankful for today?

  3. We totally saw The Croods. It was actually the first movie we took the girls to see in the theatre last year. So, that one is still on my list over a year later :)

  6. I've not heard of 'fake niece' either! I like the idea though. I have two like that - a fake niece and a fake neff. They're adorable.

    Hope you get to spend plenty of time with yours :)

    YAY FOR YOUR TV APPEARANCE :D You're GOING PLACES :D

  10. Your interview was great, Tracie. Good for you! I love that picture of your daughter...those eyes of hers are gorgeous. She looks around the same age as my daughter so I know what you mean about the smile every day. What a blessing! That is a fantastic photo of the tree. I love it!
