Gratitude Sunday 3-17-2013

Welcome to Gratitude Sunday! My favorite time of the week to sit down and reflect back on all the wonderful things we have to be grateful for in life. This is a weekly link up hosted by Taryn at Wooly Moss Roots so be sure to visit her blog to read all the other wonderful and inspiring lists of gratitudes shared.

This last week I was grateful for:

-Buds on the lilac bushes, my favorite spring flowers!

-The efforts we've been putting into our Etsy shop being rewarded with sales. This inspires us and motivates us to keep creating as we hope to make this our primary source of income one day.

-Remembering to buy a special mule deer tag for the area we like to hunt before the deadline (I forgot last year and was pretty bummed when hunting season rolled around).

-Listening to my heart and taking action on it. It felt SO good to do that and honor what my body was telling me.

-A beautiful handmade headband I got in a swap for some cloth diapers from Regrow Roots. (Stay tuned for a giveaway later this week for a chance to win one!) 

-Having a loving and supportive husband who isn't crabby back to me when I'm having a cranky moment.

-Warm spring air outside.

-Finding a child's doll carrier at the second hand store for $2 and our little nugget wanting to wear it all day everyday so she can carry around her "baby" on her back. Best $2 investment ever!

-Yummy and healthy veggie sushi for supper and our little nugget actually eating some this time!

-My husband encouraging me to take a much needed break and spend the day in the woods at Rock Creek.

-A warm enough day to hang out in the yard and start cutting back the dead growth in the perennial flower gardens from last season.

-An early spring bloom! I was so astounded when the purple caught my eye, usually the bulb flowers are our first to open every spring and not for another few weeks.

-Cleaning out and reorganizing my tiny office. It is so spacious now my husband jokes that we can both go in and dance a jig to celebrate!

-Meeting and connecting with some amazing, inspiring people online.

  3. The headband looks perfect on you!! What is that flower blooming in the last photo? It's beautiful. Everytime I leave the house I see more daffodils opening up their yellow blooms and it brightens me up inside!

    1. I actually have no idea what that flower is and have been trying to research it! I have a couple well established perennial flower gardens that I've added to over the last few years and I know the names of most everything but I'm stumped on this one :)
