The days are short, the evenings are long. Wait—that’s not the phrase?!
But that’s how I feel with a baby … there’s just never enough time to get everything done, and she’s the most important thing, so I just hang out with her and let the rest fall by the wayside. Including my gratitude lists 🙂
It’s driving me crazy.
But we’re here to focus on the gratitude, so I am SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL for the most magical, amazing, wonderful baby girl. She’s the best in the whole world.
I am grateful for my partner, my Handsome Helpful Warrior, who sometimes isn’t as helpful as I’d like in our current situation but is an incredible father.
I am grateful for Christmas cards, I LOVE seeing my friends and family in print and cherish those cards on the countertop during this season.
We also did some this year, as we are morally obligated to with a new babe. I am grateful for an incredible photographer sis-in-law next door!
I am grateful for Bob, even if he ate all the gingerbread cookies intended for his trainer and sparked a hilarious instagram story back-and-forth.
I am grateful for my mom who loves my baby like her own (like she did?) and my dad, who lays on the floor and plays with her like he used to do with the dogs!
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with my brother, and see him shine building something he is incredibly passionate about.
I am grateful for fun gifts I’m giving this year, for new holiday traditions, for baking cookies, seeing family and friends, and lots of love in my life.
