What I’m Thankful For this Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018 Comments : 22

Thanksgiving is a time where we take the opportunity to reflect on what we are thankful for in life. Traditionally I take to my social media accounts to post about what I am thankful for today. However, I decided to instead share here all the things that I am thankful for, not just today, but everyday.

Family that is always there: I am extremely lucky to have family that supports me, encourages me and is there for me no matter what.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Here is my list! #Thanksgiving #Holiday #Givethanks

An amazing partner to navigate this crazy life with: (Yes, I am talking about you Aaron) Someone who is not only the love of my life but my best friend as well. It is an extremely rare find and I can not express enough how thankful I am for that.

Children that challenge me, inspire me and push me to be the best mom and person I can be: They also teach me how to be more patient, kind and imaginative.

A job that I love: Sometimes (okay, most of the time) I complain about working but I still love what I do. I love being a nurse.

Friends that understand my hectic life but still want to be my friend despite only hanging out every few weeks: The older I get the more I realize that having a lot of friends is less important then having a small group of good friends who understand you and love you through the good times and the bad.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Here is my list! #Thanksgiving #Holiday #Givethanks

The ability to overcome: If you asked me a few years ago if I was happy I would have said yes but I secretly was slowly dying inside. I overcame a lot in my previous relationship and I am stronger for it. I also have to overcome the doubts I have everyday that I’m a terrible mom and nurse. The doubts that I will fail as a blogger. So I am thankful for my ability to push past these thoughts most days and continue on. 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of you: The ones that have been following my journey from the beginning. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and comment. I appreciate it more then I can say. Stay tuned for some new posts in the next few weeks!

So what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments below! Also subscribe to be the first to know when a new blog post comes out!

    While we try to be thankful everyday it does help to have a holiday that pushes people to think about what they are thankful for.

    My favorite part:
    Children that challenge me, inspire me and push me to be the best mom and person I can be

    I’ve got three of those, and I know for sure that I wouldn’t be who I am, if it wasn’t for them!

Thinking back on the time I made my son get up wit Thinking back on the time I made my son get up with me to go watch the sunrise on top of Cadillac Mountain in @acadianps. 
Acadia is my absolute favorite place to visit and having my kids there to hike and explore with makes it that much better.  One day they won’t want to do this with me so for now I’ll enjoy it while I can even though he may have whined just a little about getting up that early.

I’m happy that my body finally feels like my own I’m happy that my body finally feels like my own again but I’m sad that I may never experience another newborn and baby stage. 
How do I come to terms with never experiencing those firsts again or baby snuggles?

One year old. My little rainbow baby is officiall One year old. 
My little rainbow baby is officially one. It’s been absolute chaos this year but every second, every minute, every hour has been worth it. 
The amount of joy this little lady has brought into all of our lives is unexplainable. Being her mom has been amazing and I’m so excited to see what the next year brings. ❤️
