For memories in the kitchen making cookies for Santa Claus. There is always the beloved mixing spoon to look forward to. Serafina got it this round.

For morning walks with Autumn, where we do multiplication quizzes and play spelling games. She is one smart girl! I can never seem to stump her.

For warm baths on cold evenings, even if three children try to invade them.

For heat! Last week we woke up to no heat or hot water in our home and it was freezing! We were all bundled up in our jackets waiting for when the problem would be fixed. Once it was, I realized how much we take even having a warm home for granted. I am grateful for having a home and a comfortable life with no struggles.

For the amount of bananas I bought to freeze for delicious banana ice cream. They were less than $10.00.

This is my most favorite sweet treat and completely guilt-free! Mixing the bananas with other fruit is so yummy too! Raspberries, peaches, blueberries and mangoes. Mango banana is my favorite! Just add a little water and blend until smooth. We LOVE our fruit!

For my new spiralizer! Now I can make raw zucchini spaghetti and curly fries for the girls too.

We are having a lot of fun with it.

For Serafina gaining independence. She is starting to look more like a toddler now and is slowly becoming less and less dependent on mommy every second of her day. She enjoys playing with her big sisters and especially loves playing restaurant with the play kitchen and fake food.

For celebrating the fourth year of marriage to my soul mate. 6 years in total. Still going strong.

For LIFE because there is always beauty to be found in it! 🙂

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!!
