What small thing that you use daily are you grateful for? When I think about things that I use every day I think of my daily rituals of getting up, or getting ready for bed. So that made me realize that I am SO grateful for my toothbrush and contacts. Aren’t contacts the GREATEST invention of all time? The people I see … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
What friend/family member are you grateful for today? I have SO many people to be grateful for every day, but today I am grateful for Dallas’s grandma, Nanny. We have been living with her and Papa since August, and we have been so grateful for such a nice place to live as we transition into our next life adventure. Back when … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
What sound are you grateful for today? Today we had another doctors appointment and it was the usual – get measured and listen to the babies heart beat. This time he was super excited about something (it may have been the cinnamon toast and chocolate I ate right before…), and the doctor had to wait a minute for him to … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
I finally made my first ever baby quilt (for my baby! what?!)! Quilts aren’t my usual choice when it comes to sewing, but I wanted to make him something special, even if he’s got like a zillion blankets from everyone now (AMAZING ones, made by family members). Blankets are always a good thing. As you can see, we’ve got a … Continue reading “My First Baby Quilt”
What tradition are you grateful for? Well, this question came at a good time! (since I’m still just drawing these out of a bag) Every year growing up, my dad always made a ginger bread house before Christmas, and then on new years we were allowed to break it. Usually by the time New Years came around, the candy and … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Everything in St. George is still either really green, or brown…Not very fall like. It was a nice drive, and we pulled off to the side of the road to take some fun pictures. Tripod family … Continue reading “33 Weeks & Counting”
What in nature are you grateful for? I’m deciding that this counts – I am grateful for the colors in nature. It always amazes me how the colors of everything in nature are so deep and beautiful. It’s even hard to capture it in a picture because it’s just so much more beautiful in real life. Think about it. Everyone is … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Pattern: Lonetree Jacket Fabric: Denim (Cotton 98%, Spandex 2%) from JoAnn’s First of all, I am totally mind blown that I made this jacket. I was so excited when Allie with Indiesew shared that she was making a utility jacket pattern (her first pattern!) and needed pattern-testers. I definitely didn’t really think about what I was getting into, since I … Continue reading “Lonetree Jacket”
What song are you most grateful for? I have a whole playlist on my iTunes literally labeled “positive mix”, because I am the bomb at mix playlists (formerly mix CDs). It has uplifting Christian and gospel (Your Love – Brandon Heath, I Can Only Imagine – Mercy Me, Overcomer – Mandisa), empowering hip hop/pop (Hall of Fame – The Script, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
What memory are you grateful for today? A little while ago my friend on Instagram posted this quote “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Theodor Seuss Geisel It came a few days after I should have done this Grati-Tuesday, but sometimes I really slack at these posts. Sometimes I just get … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
