What I’m Grateful for- July 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on by

Ah, the start of August. The beginning of the end of the Summer. It’s such a sad month for those of us in the colder climates. We only get a few months of lovely weather before the cold and snow returns. But, it’s not here yet, so I’m going to soak up the rest of it as much as I can! There is a ton to look forward to before Fall arrives, but first a recap of last month and all I’m grateful for. July was filled with fun. We spent lots of time enjoying family and the Summer. Zach experienced the fireworks for the first time and seemed to enjoy them (though not as much as I expected). It … More…

June is over and Summer is officially here. So grateful for the nice weather, the direction the blog is going, and the progress on several goals in my life.

May was an amazing month with lots to be grateful for. I figured out some things with the blog that are helping me to move forward.

I can’t believe it’s been two years since he was born. The time goes by so fast. May also brought with it the … More…

Grateful Living- April 2017

A Better Life Lived Posted on by

Welcome, May! April was a busy month with work, Easter, and trying to get out and enjoy the nice weather in between all of the rain. As usual, we celebrated Good Friday and Easter with lots of family time and traditions. No Easter Egg hunt this year, but definitely next year. I think this year it would’ve been more for me. He doesn’t need that much candy (he got plenty from the Easter Bunny, Nana, Grandma, and GG). I’m also not certain he really gets the whole searching for eggs thing yet. This month was super rainy but had some beautiful days mixed in between. The project in the basement is now done and we have a beautiful new living … More…
