30 Days of Thanks: Friendship

Today, I am most thankful for our friends.

I’m thankful for our La Leche League “friends” who get together one morning a month to support one another.  I love having the opportunity to see how quickly the babies are growing and welcome new little ones.  I love hearing other moms talk and being reminded of how many amazing mamas live here on island.  I’m thankful that LLL exists and is available to help new moms figure out breastfeeding and life with a newborn; I’m so incredibly thankful for all the work that the leader, Sunny, does.

I’m thankful for the blossoming friendship Nora has with Miss E.And for my friendship with her amazing and wonderful mama.I’m thankful for the wonderful evening we had at their house tonight, sharing a delicious meal that Nora and I cooked

(she totally helped and did way more than just lick the beater, I promise!)

and took over in celebration of Baby M.

Who is cuter by the minute…and who is (it’s possible, just maybe) making me finally start to feel the baby itch again.  Just a little…maybe.

I’m thankful for my super-OB friend, Megan, who is going to start blogging over at Papoose soon to help me out.  And for the amazing support I’ve been getting from Jess and Sunny, too.  I’m so optimistic about where this is going to go — even if it’ll be a meandering path to an actual store front, it’ll be meandering through down some exciting paths.

Last, but not least, I’m thankful for recipe experimentation gone oh, so right, in the form of warm and gooey caramel apple upside-down cake.

If that’s not something to be thankful for, I don’t know what is.

Oh, yes, and I’m thankful for our furry friends too,who are just so much fun to squeeze.

    I’m so grateful for our friendship! I just love watching E and N play together. I know your store front will come to fruition. You’ve worked so hard and help so many, it’s only a matter of time. I will be there on opening day!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
