December Daily Gratitude #23: I’m really grateful for this Doing December Daily challenge that I’ve been doing. It’s basically forced daily journaling, but I think I’ve been really needing something like this in my life.

December Daily Gratitude #22:Today I’m grateful for family dinners. Tonight we made broccoli, mashed potatoes, cheese toast, bearnaise sauce, ribeye steak and hot chocolate.

December Daily Gratitude #18:Today I’m very grateful for the friends who came over for dinner tonight.

December Daily Gratitude #16: Grateful for the extra set of helping hands today while I ran errands. Originally, I was going to do a huge Costco haul in the morning before Eleanor’s nap, but then Nathan offered to come with us later in the afternoon. This turned out great for me because 1) I definitely …
