I am truly Grateful for ...

I am truly grateful for ... 

My 18 month old daughter Julianna - I don't know that I could live without her. I don't remember life before her. She is the most amazing & beautiful child. Her smile captures my soul. I now understand that a huge piece of me would have never blossomed if this little girl never came into my life.

My husband whom I have known and loved dearly for the past 10 years - I cherish every day we have together. I hope we have a million more days together. I love being that "happy" couple.

My simple & tranquil little life. We're not rich ... we're not famous... but we sure are in a blissful place!

My crazy dog Jack Russell-Doxie {mix} Pepper. She is so snuggly at night & keeps us warm!

My job & my husband's job. I won't lie. We did not get affected too much by any of the recession other than the fact that our house value took a nosedive most abruptly. I am very grateful for the fat that we both have jobs that allow us to have a roof over our heads, food on the table, and a little extra in the pockets (sometimes!).  

The fact that I work from home. Every day. Love it. My commute used to be 1.5 hours each way to the office (with traffic), and now it takes about 1.5 seconds to walk into my office.

My family's health. I thank God every day that my daughter, husband and myself are healthy. {Yes, I need to lose a lot of weight, but you know what I mean!}

The quality time I spend with my husband and daughter.

My friends.



And some "less significant" things that I am grateful for... 

The fact that my husband is pretty PC savvy and doesn't use me as his personal tech support when he needs something fixed. Priceless.

My Blackberry

Our new Living Room Ottomans that allow us to hide a multitude of toys in them so our house can look like adults live here too.

My camera. I love it. I am a Mama-razzi & proud of it.

My ability to find the best bargain around

Pizza. Yup, I live in NJ - I am grateful for my yummy Pizza!
