a grateful heart + weekend snapshots
hello to you on this monday morning. i hope you had a wonderful weekend! today i am sharing some things i am grateful for; along with some snapshots from my weekend. this was one of our last ‘free’ weekend until the middle of december {and we all know how long weekends in december stay ‘free!’} it was nice to have no plans and be able to do whatever, whenever.
my heart is grateful for:
– group texts with my family and high school girlfriends
– sweater weather
– real simple magazines
– gilmore girls marathons
– fireplaces
– my health- even on days when it isn’t perfect.
– delivery food
– friendships, both new and old
– wool socks
– freshly cut flowers
– oranges and cheeseboards
– coconut milk
– the hours between 8-midnight when the house gets dark and quiet
– the last slice of pie
– being able to be with baby boy all the time
– a really good hug.
mr. monaco went to the movies with his nephews saturday- while i got wild and crazy with a bubble bath, our book club book {the woman in black} the buckeye football game and a bowl of vanilla ice cream with bananas and caramel topping.
yesterday i went to a baby shower for one of my dearest hometown, college, and charlotte friends
she is expecting a baby girl and is due just six days before me- it was fun to chat with people i love there and meet others, too. i gave her a lil’ swinglets swing, pale pink moccs, and a book
baby boy and i took a lot of walks… can’t wait to play in the leaves with him.
my favorite spot in our home these days… our large master tub.
the tray is from etsy: SKHeartLandDesigns
and it’s one of my favorite purchases of all time ♥

Beautiful photos and your thankful list brings a smile to my face because those are many of the things I am thankful for too! Texting convos with BFFs who live in other cities, fresh flowers from my husband just cuz, sweater weather, and watching a good TV show (Gilmore Girls and Modern Family are my favorite). Glad to find you on Grateful Heart link-up!

Nelle, that ICE CREAM!!!! Oh my gosh, looks so good – I will have to try that. I can't wait for it to be sweater weather here. We've had a few days here & there but lately it's been pretty warm! (Not that I'm complaining though!) I hope you're having a blessed week!!
