2016 has so many things to be thankful for…

• the long hours talking with my husband as we worked on remodeling projects
• many hours of peaceful painting while listening to podcasts 😉
• my trip to England and Paris with my mom and sister, so many memories of beauty
• our home educating journey following the philosophy of Charlotte Mason, a new confidence in the methods and a relaxed enjoyment of what we are learning together
•  Charlotte Mason book study and community group, Excelsior Guild
•  precious children to love
•  my husband and I growing in our marriage, and Chinese food/thrift store dates
• our new home, Hearth Ridge, and the surrounding natural beauty
• the sale of our previous home, Hidden Valley, bittersweet, yet so thankful for finding a buyer that loved it as much as we did
• my beautiful reclaimed wood built-in library ❤
• books, oh my dear friends 😉
• my hard-working husband, allowing me to stay home with our children
• health
• good friends, coffee, book, and life chats
• my kitchen cabinet knobs, small in size, but big in personality. So cheerful!
• new niece on my side and new nephew on my husband’s side
• memoir writing class
• the lovely Presence of the Lord throughout my days
