I cannot believe it's the end of February, and time for a look at the things I'm grateful for. Time really does fly by.
--I'm grateful for the month of "love". My husband and I have been making a real effort to go on date nights, AND not talk about work the whole time we're out. He's not much of a Valentine's guy, but today he brought me these roses. I have no idea why but I am not complaining.
--I'm grateful for my new Crock Pot. The last one was round and very old. I got this one for Christmas, and it has many settings and lots more space. There's a whole board devoted to it on my Pinterest page, and I'm always looking for new recipes. I made Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta last week and it was a huge hit.
--I'm grateful for these yayhoo's. My son has the nicest group of friends. Every one of them is kind and respectful and they have T's back - always. Luckily they don't normally dress like this or I might have to rethink things. This was their "uniform" for the Macho Volleyball Tournament, a long standing Marysville tradition.
I hope you find what you are grateful for this month. Have a wonderful weekend!
Linking up with Motivation Monday
I'm grateful that we had our first paid holiday this month February... I am grateful year end is over (I work in payroll)... I'm grateful for two beautiful daughters and I'm extremely grateful that this nasty Winter might be over in less then a month... (I would happily take grey, wet and cold- I am done with the treacherous ice) I'm also grateful for my Fitbit ♡
ReplyDeleteI need to get a Fitbit - I've heard so many great things about them. Thank you so much for sharing what you're grateful for - makes me happy to hear it all!
Deletebahaha- that picture of the Vballers made me giggle. I agree, instagram is also my favourite right now! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey're a special group I tell you. And they played as well as they looked - hee hee.
DeleteA crockpot is a lifesaver! I don't know what I would do during the week without one! I'm checking out your recipe now. I love the photo of your son's friends!

Thanks Jill. The Crock Pot is one of the greatest inventions ever.
DeleteWhat lovely flowers and I LOVE that crockpot! I just got a new one last year from my daughter at Christmas that matches my new colors so I can't get a new one yet, but I want one of those! I use mine so much and also have a "crockpot board" full of recipes I have found! I haven't tried Instagram yet, but I may soon! I'm getting your posts again so the world is all good!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're getting the posts again. I will go check out your crockpot board for some new ideas!
DeleteThose roses are beautiful, Lana! And oh, dates with the hubby. I've found it hard to go out with my husband and NOT talk about our son. Any tips? As for your son's group of friends, well, I really think that's something to be grateful for. Knowing that our kids are in good company gives us peace of mind. That's priceless!
ReplyDeleteWe have to constantly remind ourselves to not talk about business or the kids. It's a work in progress.
DeletePretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteI like your crock pot. I love mine too.
Thank you!
DeleteHow wonderful it is to receive flowers for no reason at all : )
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for my husband that went out to pick up some groceries today and came back with a gift for me (a cute t-shirt). I have that guy trained well.
I'm grateful for my pug and that she made it through her surgery and health crisis, even if it did cost close to $6,000.
I'm grateful for getting out of this horrible winter and spending a week in Cuba.
Really I have lots to be grateful for : )
bisous

Thank you so much for sharing your grateful list with me! Love it! Your husband seems like such a great man :)! Glad your dog is doing better.
DeleteI have this same crockpot and love it. A big upgrade from my old one. Like the that fact that it goes to warm once the timer ends. Enjoy cooking with it.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are lovely. I think getting roses just because is so much better than roses because it is expected for Valentine's Day. What a dainty pink color. Glad you guys are "dating" more. I am hoping to rekindle a little more spontaneity to our marriage.
Always a good thing to keep working on the marriage, I think :)!
DeleteAh, love the crockpot. And the gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make an effort to have more dates so I scheduled two in one week with Cassidy.
And what happened? Both kids got sick. Ugh!
It always seems to work out like that, doesn't it? Hope your kiddos are feeling better and some dates are in your near future!
DeleteI've loved all your gratitude posts Lana, and I have the same crock pot! I will be trying the Creamy Tomato Chicken Pasta recipe - and I am grateful to once again have Internet and be able to catch up on Instagram and all your your blog posts!
ReplyDeleteI just made the Pasta recipe tonight - and everyone loved it!
