a grateful heart

this week my heart is grateful for: 
– a wonderful girl’s day yesterday 
– strolling flea markets
–  a blogging community i love so much
– the smell of fresh linen and peonies
– cinnamon hot tea
– a quiet afternoon reading at dean and deluca
– yesterday’s moving homily at church- i am so proud of our faith and beautiful church
– a city i adore
– we are now on season four of parenthood and i still cry and end every episode with, ‘i loved that.’
– volcano candles
– winter clothes {my favorite}
– the way mr. monaco loves me
– food trucks and craft brews
– family text and pic messages
– the color gray
– smoothies {still an every day love in this house}
– working out so much last week that i can’t sit up in bed
 – diy projects and decorating our home
our church – st peter’s catholic church in uptown charlotte- so near and dear to our hearts
where we said ‘i do’ on june 29, 2013!

    -early morning time
    -my morning coffee 🙂

      awe- so sweet! wonderful things to be grateful for… you have encouraged me- trying to be a 'morning person' but the night owl in me needs to die first. ♥ also, they actually have two books- love them both 🙂 thank you for the love and have a great week!

    This morning I am grateful for the ability to get to work, warm jackets, & fuzzy socks! And coffee – ALL the coffee!

    I love your list! I just started watching season 3 of parenthood. Cried so much in the episode where Alex and Haddie break up. And I've seen it before…twice! I'm grateful for a baby who has decided to start sleeping better! And for a trip to warmer weather next week!
