26 Days of Thanksgiving~ Day 6

1. 1. Weekends...even if you don't have anything planned to do. Weekends are just fun and relaxing.



2. 2. College Football. Let me be specific...Clemson Football!



3. Catching up with old friends.



4. My health- I was one sick puppy this week, but I am glad to say that I am finally feeling a tinsy bit better.


5. cute writing paper...I love, LOVE paper products. (ie. notepads, cards, calendars) Love the dollar section at Michael's and Target. You can always find cute paper there!

26 Days of Thanksgiving~ Day 5

1. comfy and cute tennis shoes
2. stretchy pants
3. scarves
4. turtleneck sweaters
5. a great pair of jeans- ones that make your rear end look fabulous ...or better than it does in other pants :)

26 Days of Thanksgiving~ Day 4

1. My Father-In-Law's squash casserole. Best stuff on the planet. Don't get to have it much, but when we do......Ohh...My...Goodness...It is good!
2. My Grandmother's Caramel Cake. I am trying to learn how to make it. It is an art. One that no one else in the family has been able to replicate. It's like heaven on a plate!
3. Macaroni and Cheese. If I had to pick ONE favorite food. This would be it. Good 'ole fashioned Mac and Cheese.
4. Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies...and milk. My mouth is watering as I type this. So good.
5. A good steak. My hubby can grill the best steaks. He researches the proper way to cook it. He marinates. He grills. He succeeds. The best steak I ever had came from my hubby's grill.

Can you tell that I am little hungry right now? Started diet of the century (again) today. Let's hope that I can keep it up and actually lose some of this baby weight.

26 Days of Thanksgiving~ Day 3

1. When Emma falls asleep in my arms...nothing sweeter! I'm sure she won't do this for too much longer, so I savor every time.
   
2. Kissing her on her sweet little cheeks before putting her into bed.
3. The wide toothy grin that she gives us first thing in the morning. I only wish that I woke up that happy every day!
4. When she knows that she is in trouble, she tries to "run" away, but there is a moment (like with the roadrunner) that she doesn't go anywhere. The legs are moving but SHE is not moving. CRACKS me up every time!
5. Watching her learn something new. Last night she finally figured out how to crawl up the stairs. Things should get interesting around here very soon. **Must remember to pick up a gate!**

26 Days of Thanksgiving~ Day 2

1. antibiotics- I am sick, ya'll. No piggy flu (luckily) but sick nonetheless. Hubby is picking up the good stuff (antibiotics) on his way home from work. Hopefully with a little R&R and some tender love and care from the hubby, I'll be on the up and up by the weekend!
2. afternoon naps-nothing better
3. Chicken Noodle Soup and Saltines....oooh and Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
4. Ellen DeGeneres- I never get to watch her show anymore, but she cracks me up. She just seems to be so down to earth and fun! I would love to go and see her show in person. Plus today, she had Faith Hill on her show....LOVE HER (and her little hubby too!)
5. Fuzzy Soft Sleeper Socks- I have like ten pairs and I always seem to be drawn to them in the store. They're just so soft and comfortable!

26 Days of Thanksgiving~Day 1

Tell me, who doesn't love the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family? I could watch those claymation cartoons every day during the holiday season and well "Holiday in Handcuffs" that was a cute little movie! Well I have decided for the next 26 days, I am going to list 5 things I am thankful for....a countdown to Thanksgiving you could say! Feel free to join in on the fun...I'm sure it's going to be a rip-roaring good time! Thanks to Amy for giving me the idea...Let's hope that I can do this for 26 days straight. She tried for 365 days and did pretty well!

Here we go...Day 1

1. I am thankful for my Mom! Thank you for all the help that you have given us over the years....the laundry, the babysitting, the good home-cooked meals, the advice, the love and most of all thank you for just being you! I can't even put into words how much you mean to me!
2. I am thankful for my Dad! Thank you for all the fun times. Thank you for your generous spirit and the love that show us every day. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
3. I am thankful for my brother and my new sister! Reese, you were my constant playmate. We would seriously trade off...like I'll play GI Joe if you play Barbie. We've got each others back and I love you to the moon. Little bro, you made a good choice in a wife. There could be no better fit for you. Thank you both for loving Emma like she is your own. She loves you both so much!
4. I am thankful for my in-laws. I like the term that Lindsay uses...In-loves instead of in-laws. Thank you for raising such a loving, caring, and patient man. Thank you for instilling in him a love of God and a deep understanding of what is right and wrong. Thank you for inviting me into your family with open arms. Thank you for loving little Emma.
5. I am thankful for my family. JA (my hubby), You are the light in my day. You are the swing in my step. You, my darling, are my love and I love you more and more every day. My little Em, I could not imagine my life without you. You are part of me and I love you!

All right, today was a little sappy, I know. Other days will be short and sweet. Some will be full of sarcasm and there might even be themed days. Let's all have thankful hearts today and remember to thank the Lord...for he is the source of all happiness!
