{3} three Things Thursday: What are you grateful for?

As if a day to wear green and feel happy that spring is near and it's time to get your garden going just isn't enough.....my three that I am always so grateful for wearing green and making their mama proud.

 {3} things I am feeling grateful for today:

1} I am counting my blessings today. My little one took a tumble from the top of the stairs to the bottom last night.  I could not get there quick enough as I heard the first thud. Awful. I always loved our wooden staircase, till that moment.  The knot on her forehead was the size of a golf ball and her poor fat lip. I woke her up all night to make sure she was okay.  She was annoyed with me. ;)
I am so grateful that she ended up being fine.

2}The spring air, the first signs of the baby birds, windows being open, lots of FRESH AIR.  {LOVE!!!!!}

3} Special people in our lives.  Sometimes they are only around for a minute that mattered, sometimes they've been around for as long as your memory.  Sometimes they grow old, and we know that even though we can't see them anymore.  They are still there.  They are a part of our makeup.  They helped make us better.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

{3} three Things Thursday: Be grateful.

I have gone amiss this week, and I feel really guilty about it.
Though I try awful hard at being Wonder Woman, even my little family falls under the weather sometimes. (luckily this is a rare occurrence)

SO, I just crawled out of bed because my mind was thinking that it is {3} things Thursday and I still have 45 minutes till Thursday is over.... And well, I think a {3} things to be grateful list is really in order this week.

{3} things I am so very grateful for today


1} Even though sometimes bad things happen, and they feel really really bad, because- well, they are. They are just really really bad today.  Tomorrow is a new day.  You an get up, dust off and move forward.  And even though it isn't always easy, I am so glad that you can carry on.  I am so glad there is always an inner strength cheering for you.  Even if you have to use that voice you would use with your kids. Listen to it.  Imagine what you would tell them.  And then JUST do it.


2} I've got to say apples and peanut butter = perfection.
I am really grateful for something that simple.  It is true.


3} Three healthy kids.  They had their little bugs this week, but they are healthy little buggers and I am grateful for that.


I'm keeping it real. Hope that's okay.  Cause I really couldn't do this any other way.

Here is a little project that I came across this week for all you newbies who tell me you want to sew.  JUST try it YOU CAN!

Polka-Dot Pin Cushion

A pincushion is an easy and practical first project.

Take two 4 1/2 inch squares of muslin, decorate one with polka dots, sew the cushion together, and stuff it.

I found this cute quick project here.

Isn't she cute??

Phew, I made it JUST under the wire.  And now I will sleep well. ;)
