1. We didn't get up until 7:00 a.m. I heard Em and Max down stairs watching TV about 6:00 AM which had me up but the others didn't get up until 7.
2. Being able to give my kids a good Christmas and seeing their happy faces as they opened their gifts.

My Greatest Blessing!
My Greatest Blessing!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confussion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

Life Motto
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley
About Me
- Kim
- I feel like the luckiest girl alive! My life is FULL to say the least. I am a busy Mom of 5 incredible kids with whom I am lucky enough to stay home with everyday. I am married to my incredibly good looking husband who makes my life happy. Having a family to love and take care of is the best part of life. I have a feeling that these crazy days will be gone much too quickly, so for now I am trying to soak it all in and find ... JOY in my Journey! I don't want to take for granted the daily blessings that are mine. This graditude journal is my attempt to acknowledge my abudance, to count my MANY blessings, and to find and remember the little things of each day that make me happy.
