Oh my gosh my kitchen counters are finally installed!!! I’m so excited and beyond thankful to have this done! Countertop measurements are being taken on Friday and should be installed early July!! I’m so excited!!
I’m also so incredibly thankfully that yesterday Jacob and I went to his social distance kindergarten meet and greet and now he’s excited for school this fall!!!
I’m thankful for the quiet moments with Jacob. We started the week with breakfast and playing a barrel of monkeys on the patio and it really reminded me how simple and special it is to have those moments. I’m grateful for this time at home with him!
I’m going to tell you the truth! I’m cranky! I’m really tired of this covid situation. I’m trying to stay positive but the whole woah is me, prisoner in my own home feeling is intense lately!
I tell myself it’s ok to visit cranky town and self pity palace but it’s not ok to live there!
So let’s talk about what I’m thankful for!
I went out this week for the first time in over two months! Like into a store! Near other people!! I’m thankful no one coughed on me! I’m thankful my anxiety didn’t reduce me to tears! It was a weird experience! The direction lines on the floors and stand here dots! The uneasy feeling when anyone gets within 10 feet of me!!! This whole situation is wild! Honestly I’m not a fan! I’m thankful I went out but was thankful to return home to my own bubble!
I’m also incredibly thankful my Erin Condren life planner arrived in record time! 
I’m thankful that the recent seizure Muffin had didn’t take her from us. 
It’s my birthday!! 38! How did that happen?!?
I have to say my day was leaps and bounds better then I expected it was going to be! I’ve sort of been blah about my birthday for the past few weeks because of the covid quarantine situation. But my friends and family really surprised me today!! For that I’m thankful!
My morning started out with lots of love and treats from my boys! Then a knock on the door to discover my best friend had brought over gifts and my favourite cake! Thanks to her I got to enjoy lunch time cake and a social visit in the driveway with my parents!
Later in the day another friend delivered the most beautiful floral bouquet to me!
In the afternoon Kevin took me for a drive to get out of the house and found a road side flower stand and I got to pick out more flowers!
These little gesture where so uplifting! I felt very loved all day! It was a great birthday and I’m very thankful for everyone who helped bring me joy!
Happy Thursday everyone!!! Another week almost in the books. It’s been pretty mellow around our house. Not a lot of productivity going on! I guess that’s ok though. This whole situation has forced many people to slowdown and take a break. Something many of us longed for!
For today’s Thankful Thursday I’m thankful my little family is staying healthy and weathering this storm so far. 
Hey friends! I’m not going to lie to any of you…. I’ve been cranky!! Not just a little off full on cranky!! I’m frustrated by having to put my renovations on hold and by being unable to move forward. I know it’s Thursday and my goal is to post what I’m thankful for but I’m also real. This whole thing is hard!
So today I’m Thankful for being able to be honest and tell you all that I’m struggling. I’m longing for normalcy of the day to day life we lost so abruptly! I do however remind myself daily how lucky I am that my family is safe and healthy and how much worse things could be! So I’m thankful I can be real and honest and still admit this is all very hard!
I’m thankful for the people who are staying humble and kind ❤️
Happy Thursday friends! We are in our fourth week of self isolation over here! The new life “normal” is a lot to take in! Definitely a whole host of emotions daily! I’m thankful my little family is holding up well and healthy so far. I’m thankful for all the folks doing their best to follow the rules and care for each other!
Lets remember there is no one size fits all for handling this current pandemic situation! Some people will thrive through this and others will fall, hurt, or even take their own lives. If you want to work out at home, awesome! If you want to sit on the couch and binge watch Netflix, fantastic! Do whatever feels right with your time at home. Don’t worry about what other people are doing! Resist the urge to compare yourself to others! Resist the urge to judge how others are reacting/function/coping or not! We’re all in this together but we are all allowed to work through it how we need to! Stay home and do you ❤️
PS I’m really thankful for iced coffee! ☕️☕️
It’s been a long week for all of us! I don’t have much to say today but I will share one of the things im thankful for today. I’m thankful for all the logistics staff, farmers, truck drivers, grocery store staff etc working through this terrifying time to maintain our food supply. 
Without these integral workers things would be much harder than they already are! So thank you to you and everyone on the front lines. ❤️
