A Reprieve from Winter!
Today, I am extremely thankful for the second 70+ degree day in a row! I've got Bob Marley on the radio, laundry drying in the sun, little ones playing on the deck and snow melting in the front yard! February doesn't get much better than this!
The Right to Vote
Today on election day, I am reminded of how grateful I am to live in a country where I get to participate in the democratic process by voting in free elections. I am so thankful to be raising my daughters in a free country. I want them to grow up to appreciate what an important privilege that is.
Options & Choices
Today, I am thankful for the endless options and choices that are available to me!
Warm, Sunny Weather
Today, I am so thankful for all this warm, sunny weather we have been having. It is such a relief after such a brutally snowy winter! It is so nice to be able to enjoy going outdoors again!
The Internet and Cable TV
Today, I am so happy and thankful to have my internet and television connection back after it was knocked out yesterday morning by the blizzard.
Electricity
Today, I am thankful that our power came back on after only an hour or so outage during the snow storm. You don't realize how dependent you are on electricity until you are trapped in your home in freezing cold weather without it.
Pamela
Today, I am thankful for my friend, Pammy! I don't know what I would do without her! Such an amazing friend!
Books!
Today, I am thankful for books! I love to read! I am thankful to have so many amazing authors and books from which to choose!
A Moment for Myself
Right now, I am thankful to have a quiet moment to myself. The less of these you get, the more you appreciate the ones you do have!
Snow
Today I am thankful for snow! I love how bright, clean and pristine the world looks coated in fresh snow!
Good Motherly Advice
Today, I am thankful that my mom encouraged me to choose Kaylin's fall/winter wardrobe one size bigger than she was wearing in October. If I hadn't, all of Kaylin's clothes would be snug now. Thanks for the good advice, Ma!
Camryn's Laugh
Today, I am thankful for Camryn's laughter! There's nothing quite as magical as a baby's laugh! You can't help smiling and feeling happy when your baby is laughing!
Diapers
Every time I change Camryn's diaper, I am thankful for all my friends and family who helped us stock up on diapers! I am especially thankful for my friend Pamela, who really went above and beyond with the diaper roast that she threw for us!
Jennifer
This morning, I am thankful for my friend Jennifer! She watched Camryn all night, so Colin & I could sleep! I got a super ultra-fantastic nine straight hours of sleep last night! It was so wonderful! Thank you so much, Jennifer!
My Fellow Moms
Today, I am thankful for all my fellow moms (girlfriends, neighbors, Chesapeake Mommies, MOPS and my own mom) who have been bringing dinners to our house since the baby was born! The food has been delicious and not having to cook has been a godsend!
My Mom
Today, I am thankful for my mom, who took off of work to spend the day helping me with Kaylin, Camryn and my house. She brought lunch for me and Kaylin, helped me catch up on some chores, and watched Camryn so I could get some shopping done and spend some one-on-one time with Kaylin! Thank you, Ma!
Kaylin
Kaylin told me she loved me for the first time last night. So sweet! Then she said it again today while we were shopping at Target! I am so thankful to have such a good-natured and loving child!
Chocolate
Today, I am thankful for Hershey's chocolate! I love Hershey's Kisses and Special Dark Miniatures! They are so delicious and just the right size . . . the perfect little pick me up!
Sleep
Today, I am so thankful that Camryn slept throught the night. Until last night, Camryn had wanted to stay up most of the night. Then last night she surprised me by sleeping from midnight to 6:30 am! Thank you, Camryn!
Pearl Harbor Day
Today, I am thankful for all the servicemen and women who protect our country and keep us safe and free.

Monk
I love this show and am really going to miss it! Thank you to Tony Shalhoub and the all the writers, actors and crew for hours and hours of entertainment and for making my own idosyncrisies and OCD like tendencies seem less severe!
My Mother-In-Law
Today, I am thankful for my mother-in-law, Edrie, who is spending the whole week with us to help out with Kaylin and Camryn! Tonight, she even watched Camryn for us for a few hours so we could take Kaylin out for some much needed quality Mommy, Daddy and Kaylin time! We had such a nice time!
