thankfulness


focusing on being thankful for the small things can be hard sometimes.


down-right, slap-me-now, ow-that-hurt, tootin-rootin-hard.


just clarifying.


thankful for long walks in the countryside.
long walks that may have hills that are so steep they kill you, but to be thankful even though you're dead at the end.


thankful for small village cafe's that serve ridiculously large sandwiches for boys like my brother and om-nom-nom-paninis for me.

thankful for you all, and learning that some of you love to read until all hours of the night, that some of you love batman and captain jack sparrow, that some of you have 7 siblings and some 2. I loved reading all of your comments.


thankful for dad's who make you laugh, thankful for the warmth of a log fire on a cold winter night.


thankful for brownies. oh so thankful for brownies. dark chocolate brownies, white chocolate-raspberry brownies, orange and chocolate brownies, dark chocolate-blackberry brownies, mint chocolate brownies, milk chocolate brownies, fudge brownies......oh my wordy.
they are good.

thankful for the smell of clean washing, thankful for a cup of tea (or five) on a chilly morning.


thankful for a mama who is slowly teaching me--without my knowledge apparently--to cook things that aren't beyond my mental and why-can't-we-just-skip-this-step-who-needs-that-ingredient-anyway capabilities.

just thankful.

what small things in life do you hedgehogs find yourselves thankful for?

love you all.
be good, steal your dads mac, and kiss a chipmunk.







p.s don't forget to go here and tell me your 5 squishies!

oh, and also-also-also! just kidding.

  10. Your dad and my husband have the same hair style!

    Jess I sent you an email but emails are not working well. The email refers to this blog post from my friend as I was wondering if your or your parents had any contacts that could help.
