August was the best month, it always is with my fellas and youngest girls birthdays! Don't get me wrong, it was a little stressful making plans and getting everything ready for the birthdays but it was all worth it in the end.
I have seen many people on social media list something every day that they are grateful for and thought I would join in. I did this for the whole of the last couple of years and it has really made me realise that even on the bad day's I have something to be grateful for.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great month! I love that you were grateful to Stu for mowing the lawn... I just wrote my gratitude post for Monday and I put that I was grateful for Brian for doing the same thing! Haha. I hate yard work. Hot pink nails are such a fun one to be grateful for. And I love that you had a PJ day! Those are always the best! Especially when you get to wear the cozy ones. :o)
