Because under NO circumstances should ANY ice cream be left in the bowl!!
The journey is 365 days.
The purpose is to be reminded that the most important things in life are often the most simple.
My hope is to get back to basics and remember all my blessings; to never be at a loss of things to be thankful for; to sometimes not need words. This is my journal of these things.

Day 116
I received this picture via text message:
Craig took her to the park and she LOVES the "shwings" and "shyine."

Day 114
I bought Jillian little gloves from the Dollar Tree. I was positive she was going to hate them and refuse to wear them, but she surprised me again. Not only did she like them and show them to everyone we saw on our afternoon walk (including the neighbor's dog), but she insisted on wearing them "just because." Here she is coloring with them on.

I LOVE coupons!!! I used a 50% off coupon to get the Wilton decorating caddy I've been wanting! Life is so much better when there is a sale!

Day 110
One year ago today. Jilly's "loves."
Jillian has just started giving real hugs, which I absolutely ADORE!
In the days before she gave hugs, she would only give "loves." She would put her forehead to your forehead and that = a hug.

THIS
is real life!! Everyone is sick, my kitchen is a mess, but chicken noodle soup and fresh made bread are in the process...
Still so much to be thankful for.

Yeah, you know that feeling you get when your entire house smells like freshly baked bread?
I've got it.

Day 90
Walking a mile in someone else's shoes is really, really hard. She barely made it to the other side of the family room.

Day 88
Sure, I'll have a little hot chocolate with those marshmallows.
One of the best things about the weather getting cold. Drinking hot chocolate while reading a good book next to the fire. Cheers and happy new year.
