Thankful Thursday Week 32/52

Aug6

Hey friends! It’s been a pretty quiet week around here. It’s sometimes weird to think it’s been 5 months of this pandemic. 5 months of restrictions, sanitizing, and wondering what’s next!

I can’t help but be thankful on a daily basis that I’m blessed enough to be at home through all this. I don’t know how I’d be handling it all if I was on the front lines nursing patients through this. Actually I do know! I’d get up every day and do my job and be and tightly wound ball of stress.

It’s so easy to get tangled up in feeling blah with the whole situation but I’m making a strategic effort to see the good in all this!! My family is at home, safe, comfortable, healthy, together! Sure everyday life isn’t as simple as it used to be but it sure could be worse!! And I’m truly thankful it’s not worse!

Umm how is it the end of July?!? I mean I’m not complaining because those of you who know me in real life know how I feel about September, Fall, pumpkins, etc!!

On that note today I’m thankful my little pumpkin garden is doing well!! I’m thankful it’s something my Dad and I share.

It finally feels like summer!!! We’ve been in the pool and enjoyed the warm evenings!! Of course with the heat I decided to take up a new hobby! Sourdough bread making!! I mean why would you not bake bread when it’s super hot outside!!

This week I’m thankful for the Mom tribe! Moms who help other Mommas because they can and they want to, not because they have to!

A local Mom online was nice enough to share her sourdough starter with me and teach me the ropes of taking care of it! I’ve wanted to make sourdough for years but after s botched starter attempt I let that dream go! Until now! I’m so happy with how my first loaf turned out!

Hi friends!! I’m camping and we have wifi! How thankful am I 😉

How is everyone doing this week? We are living our best life at the cabin! I’ve had my reservations about this trip for months due to the covid situation but I have to admit I’m so thrilled we came!

I’m thankful to get away from home and the day to day. It’s just nice to sit under the trees or on the lake shore and take in the quiet.

Jacob is loving the swimming and being outside every day all day! I’m so happy we brought Muffin with us! Given her health issues we second guessed ourselves for weeks but now that she’s here she’s happy as a clam and we know we made the right choice ❤️

Happy Thursday friends!!

We just got home from a picnic lunch at one of our little local hidden gems! It was so lovely to eat lunch outside surrounded by nature and my boys!

Today I’m thankful that going outside isn’t canceled!! Covid has changed so many things and it really makes me long for how easy life use to be! But today I’ll stay positive because thankfully we can still have afternoons like this!

We’re approaching Canada day and I’m a little sad we won’t be hosting our yearly Canada day pool party but I’m beyond thankful to live in this beautiful province/country. Canada may not be perfect but there’s a lot of good here!!

It’s been a week friends! We’re busy with the renovation but still found time to go to Campbell valley park this week and get out for some walks! I’m not going to lie I haven’t been doing much exercising lately (and it shows) and I feel blah most days I terms of fitness but getting out for walks these week has been helpful. I’m thankful for my lil walking buddies and the beauty of the forests near us!

How is it already June?!?

This year has been crazy and somedays it’s hard to find positivity and gratitude given all that’s going on around us. But if I’ve learned anything from this it’s that your gratitude doesn’t have to be a big thing or something easy to explain. Just taking a few minutes to think about what I’m thankful for can often reset my negative energy!

So today I’m thankful we finally booked out kitchen counter install date! Our renovation has been on hold due to covid but it’s looking like we are able to move forward!
