Thankful Heart - Day 1

I tried this last year and I lost momentium after about day 15. But it's a new year and slowly day by day I feel like I'm getting my life back to semi normal a feeling I haven't had since I had Olan. Also I am trying as hard as I can to realize that I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to have the perfect blog look or the perfect pictures or even the perfect blog itself what I feel like I am hearing from the people that read this is that they just like to see what is going on in my life. And as hard as it is to let go and not be the perfect image I have set up for myself I am really trying and everyday it is a struggle and I have to say to myself that the limits I have placed are unreachable so let it go. 

So here we go. Day one of being thankful. I am thankful for Pinterest. I have to limit myself in there or I waste too much time but I heart Pinterest. On one hand though it sometimes makes me feel inadequate as a mother, as a wife, as a Christian, heck even sometimes as a woman. You see all these amazing people that do 1001 things in a day AND blog about it and most days I feel accomplished if I have fed my family supper. But the reason I am thankful for it today is that it gave me this idea to do with Lil Hoff.

 I saw this and thought it was too cute to pass up and what a neat mometo to keep doing every year. Although from what I have figured out already ideas like this are always better in theory than in reality as I got Lil Hoff's hand painted for the first time and he said 'done' and 'mess'. He doesn't mix words. I usually know what he is thinking and what he means. So after begging and pleading we got through all the hands and the foot. (With a wipe in hand after each print so I could get him clean.) After we were done he skipped away merrierily with fruit snacks and I looked at my masterpiece with a smile and a full heart.
