Thank you all so much for your support and advice and pointers and encouragement!! I have learned a ton through this blog--from you guys posting so many helpful things! It's been great-I didn't really expect that to happen with the blog, but I'm so glad it has. It also encourages me to keep posting (even the stuff I'm not so proud of or feel insecure about) so I can get some more input.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I baked some cookies for the event at the in-laws' tomorrow afternoon. I made some gluten free cookies--we'll see how those go over. Just cookies. I am, however, going to use my new pie plate this weekend on a pumpkin pie. I mean, who ever heard of someone who loves to bake just making cookies for a holiday?? I've been looking at recipes and I'm either going to do a chiffon pumpkin pie or a recipe with a broiled nut topping. We'll see.
Things I am super thankful for (besides all of your much appreciated input):
The obvious: My beautiful and healthy baby girl--so glad she's so healthy!!!, My amazing family--all inclusive., great friends, employment, maternity leave, my and my family's health...
Other little things: The way Camille smells, Camille's big squishy cheeks and how they puff out when she stretches, getting rest even with a newborn, these awesome flannel burp cloths B's mom made us, breastfeeding (and it going so well), manicures and pedicures (again one day!), motivation to run, electricity (I mean...can you imagine life without it?), music, laughs, baking, hilarious family members and friends, seriously--maternity leave!!!, summers off, forgiveness, generosity, pictures, memories....I could keep going, but it'll get annoying.
I'm so glad and so thankful that life has gone how it has so far. I've been super blessed my entire life--and I am so thankful for all of it!
I love this post, Pam!
