(hubby and I a few months ago)
I'm so thankful for...
1. My husband. He always puts his family first. Because of him I can stay home and raise my babies like I always wanted to.
2. That I'm pregnant with our second baby.
3. For our home. Having your own home really is a blessing!
Really, I'm just trying to sit back and appreciate the simple things in life.
Maybe it's the hormones. But I felt like I should reflect on how my life has changed since this time last year. I was feeling sorry for myself, gaining weight and had lost some of my spark. I'm sure some of you reading this are going through hard times as well. The recession has been hard on so many families. I hope there are still little things you can find happiness in. Things will work out!

I am going through that now! I have been a stay at home mom for the past 2 yrs. Our finances are not well and I have to get back to work. Right now I am trying to offer childcare in my home so I wont have to leave my son. My husband is working over time but New York is ridiculously expensive. I live in Long Island which is even more expensive than the city. It's hard to live on one income. I also feel like I don't know who I am anymore. I love beauty, I even have my own blog. Sadly I have lost interest in that as well and that is my passion. I love my son but am so scared to leave him with someone else. I hope this is just a phase and I will find my way. I am happy for you though. Your an esthetician right? I had a chance to go to school for skincare but was pregnant and had to be careful because I was bleeding. You are a lucky woman. Are you ever going to pursue your career as an esthetician? Well sorry for the ramble, but being a mom is not easy, you give up a lot of yourself. Well I wish you the best and your are gorgeous by the way. Thanks for the shout out on the Colorsilk Bright Auburn, I love it! Chau for now!
Have patience...everything will be all right. Enjoy life!!!
This is such a great post and that picture of you is simply gorgeous. I think that sometimes we take for granted the little everyday blessings. Thanks for sharing your positive outlook!
beautiful i love LOVE!
I just read the blog post a year a go and it almost made me cry \: Life can be harsh sometimes but we have to find a way to turn it all around. And you did (: I'm so happy that now things changed you're living just the way you wanted now. It brings hope to all the people who is struggling right now that it will get better (:
awwww cute couple most deff.. i also get to enjoy staying home .. also own a home.. high 5 for us for having wonderful husbands
YAY! Glad things are better now.
Just shows that time is a healer. xx
Great post.congrats on yr pregnancy :)
I am so very proud of you and Matt. Going through lean times helps us appreciate the small things in life. You are truly blessed. God is good...all the time!
How beautiful. I too am very grateful to have such an amazing husband. I am glad that you and I share a common thing which is being stay at home mommies. Some people think of that as nothing but to me that's such a blessing. Yeah it has it's ups and downs but what doesn't. It's healthy to just be still and look at all we have and where we're at in our lives and thank God for it all. :)
I read your old blog and while I am not in the exact same situation, I know how you were feeling. I had to move back in with my parents 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I love being out on my own so moving back in was not fun.
Im glad things have completely turned around for you.
My favourite saying is "this too shall pass" (even got it tattooed on my wrist). As bad as things seem, they will eventually pass.
Goodluck with everthing

This is such a nice post because there are so many people having a hard time because of the recesssion and such so it's nice to see someone just being thankful for the little things that matter :)

this is such a nice post because there are so many people having a hard time at the minute (and not just because of the recession!) so its really nice to see someone be thankful for all the little things that actually matter :)

I've been out and about today. Then took a long nap. I just got a chance to read your comments and ALL of you just made me smile! And brought a tear to me eye :)
I guess it's just Life. We all go through our Ups and Downs but God is with us always.
I'm glad things are going better for you..I think we all go thru those ups and downs with our own families, but we have to stay strong for our children..As I always tell my husband when things get hard on us. Don't Worry it's just another rock on our way we all eventually go over the bumpy roads. Enjoy your pregnancy, as having a baby is the most precious gift in life. Wish you the Best to you and your Family.

Thank you so much for this post! Sometimes I need to be reminded to be thankful for what I have and not what I want/long for.
I just finished grad school in August and am having a difficult time finding a job, and Hubby lost his job in August, so we went from being a very busy family, juggling schedules, to be at home 24/7. Finances are tough, so it's not like we can use all this time to work on home improvements--which would be great. We're frantically looking for jobs and barely making ends meet...but there still are so many, MANY things for which I am truly grateful and thankful! THANK YOU FOR THIS POST AND REMINDER! xoxox
