#1-9

#1: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Fans...I haven't been the best sleeper and now since we've had the Kodes, I'm a pretty light sleeper. So I know this sounds strange because it's fall, but I'm so thankful for my box fan. I put it on, and the white noise is so comforting me. Not to mention that it drowns out all the other noises in the house...water softener, snoring, dogs barking, airplanes overhead, etc. And I love having it in the summer. I am always sooo hot so it sure helps out alot.

#2: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Melatonin: I feel sooo grateful to my friend Allison Glover who told me about Melatonin a couple years ago. Everyone who knows me well, knows that I have the hardest time sleeping. I'm such a night owl. I wasn't comfortable taking other pills to help me sleep. Melatonin is already produced in the body and so this is such a better alternative. It's organic and safe for the body. And it helps me get to sleep pretty quick...even the 1mg!

#3: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Credit Cards: I know this may sound so bad, but I'm thankful for our credit cards. The last year was a pretty rough one for us and honestly if we didn't have our credit card to rely on, I'm not sure what we would have done. It may take awhile to pay off, but it was a saving grace to help us pay for the things we absolutely needed.

#4: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Water: I love water...in all forms. Beaches, Rivers, Lakes, Pools, Drinking water, Running water for bathing, making dinners, etc. I love knowing that I can turn on the faucet, and water comes out. I feel so lucky to have this luxury. I can't wait to get back to the beach...nothing is more therapeutic for me than sitting on the beach and listening to the waves.

#5: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Coupons: This last year, I have really come to see how important using coupons is. I've been able to save so much money and honestly is there any better feeling knowing you saved a little money by cutting out a coupon? So easy and so worth it.

#6: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Cell Phones and Texting: It's weird to think of what everyone did before the day of cell phones. I love having a cell phone within reach. Whether it be because I'm being lazy :) and glad I don't have to use a phone attached to a cord, or if there is an emergency, it's so convenient to have where ever you are. I also love texting. It's so convenient and for me, it's such a time-saver. I'm such a talker that when I need to get a list of things done, I love I can multi-task. Or if I am carrying a conversation with more than 1 person, it's so easy and saves me a lot of time.

#7: I'M THANKFUL FOR:



Sisters: I LOVE my sisters (I couldn't find a pic with my sis-in-laws) I feel so blessed to have so many sisters. I love each and every one of them and grateful for each of them. They each offer something unique and fun and when we are all together, it makes for a great time. I'm also so happy that my own girls have each other growing up. I know at times they may fight and bicker, but in the end, they love one another. And it's so sweet to see how well they play together and take care of each other.

#8: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Harmons: I LOVE this store. I love the atmosphere and how nice the employees are. First, Harmons cares about making sure everything is fresh and sanitary. They make sure the employees get a lot of training...from Better Basics, to Fork Lift Training, Food Handler's Permit, etc. They also offer classes for employees to help them better themselves in the workforce like Being a Better Manager, How To Make Money, How to Market, etc. Not a lot of companies would care enough to offer these services. Not to mention, it's also J's workplace. They take such good care of him. They offer some great benefits, help add to our 401k and HSA, provide an AWESOME Lagoon Day, and give positive feedback when something is done right as well as give constructive criticism when something needs to be worked on.

#9: I'M THANKFUL FOR:

Tupperware: I feel so happy that I joined the Tupperware team and thankful my hubby pushed me into it. I signed up mostly to get a discount on the products because I grew up with them and I love them. But, I quickly found out how much I LOVE to do home parties. It's been so fun getting out the house, getting loud and crazy, giving away free products, and doing the Tupperware-shake shake shake. It's caught on to my friends and mostly Ry. She loves to mimic my Tupperware cheer. I love how flexible my job is, how I can run my business the way I want, how good it is to see them get so excited when we succeed and how easy they make it for me to succeed.
