We made it to day 5! You guys, this week has been so awesome and I am so overwhelmed with gratitude that so many of you took the time to write and join in with your thankful thoughts. I don’t know about you, but as I sat down each day to write I realized that [...]

Today I hope you find fullness. Not just in your bellies, but in your hearts, your laughter and your love. My life is full and I am so very grateful. I am thankful for the love I share with my husband and these sweet boys. I have thousands and thousands of pictures with captured moments [...]

The year of close calls {a week of thanksgiving}

by Andrea on November 23, 2011 · 3 comments

I am finding that there are too many things to be thankful for to share in just one week. That’s kinda neat right? I mean I know I am blessed beyond measure, but after one crazy year, it’s feels pretty good to focus on the good things instead of the laundry list of bad things. [...]

Muppet Legacy {a week of thanksgiving}

by Andrea on November 22, 2011 · 8 comments

It’s funny how simply trying to be thankful can unearth a host of emotions. Saturday we were given the opportunity to attend an advanced screening of the new movie The Muppets. I won’t say anything about the movie other than it is definitely a must see. Jerry and I took Oscar and we all loved [...]

Coming Home {a week of thanksgiving}

by Andrea on November 21, 2011 · 5 comments

I have high hopes for this week. I hope that I will truly take the time to quiet myself and reflect on the past year. The good things, the hard things, the simple things. As a mom, days are long, but they FLY by. Thoughts leap in and out of my head at warp speed [...]

With Thanksgiving just a week away, I am sure many of us are running around trying to tie up loose ends and prepare for the holiday. Hopefully, you will have a chance to reflect and give thanks for the good things (and maybe even the hard things) that happened in 2011. If you do, I [...]

A Week of Thanksgiving: My Husband

by Andrea on November 28, 2009 · 0 comments

There are a few things I know about God. I know that He is faithful, I know that He loves me, and I know that He cares about the little things. I also know that he handpicked my husband just for me. I don’t know a lot about destiny or fate or divine intervention, but [...]

A Week of Thanksgiving: My Son

by Andrea on November 27, 2009 · 2 comments

Yesterday was Oscar’s very first Thanksgiving. We spent the day with family and played and took naps and took lots of pictures. He ate turkey and stuffing, scoffed at mashed potatoes and cranberries and gobbled up pumpkin pie. He played ball (and said ball) and watched Daddy play rough with the big kids. Everyone commented [...]

A Week of Thanksgiving: My Family

by Andrea on November 26, 2009 · 1 comment

  I don’t thank my family enough for all of the ways they have loved on me throughout my life. I am the youngest child and while that comes with many benefits, I was always the last one to do everything. However, despite age and lifestyle differences, my two older sisters have always counted me [...]

A Week of Thanksgiving: My Community

by Andrea on November 25, 2009 · 1 comment

Today I want to take some time and express how thankful I am for my community. Friends I have had my entire life,  my church family, people I have never met in person. It takes a village. Or in my case, a metropolis! I am unbelievably fortunate to have an army of caring friends surrounding [...]
