Baby Gators Den

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! This week I am celebrating my 8th year in Rhode Island. It seems like yesterday that I left palm trees and sun to step off the plane in a winter wonderland. I’ll have to write about my journey to life in New England another day, because today is dedicated to gratitude.

  • I’m grateful that a Zeta sister of mine’s sweet baby girl did well in a serious, cancer-related surgery today. She’s Sidney’s age and just precious.
  • I’m so happy that Jackson enjoys his preschool playgroup for a couple of hours each week. It’s heart-warming to see your baby grow up into a little boy.
  • Our brand new La-Z-Boy sleeper sofa came today and it fits our playroom perfectly. I’m going to update y’all soon on the smooth order & delivery process. I will say for now that La-Z-Boy’s customer service is second to none. Here’s a sneak peek:

  • I am thankful to have nail polish. Because without polish on my nails, apparently I bite my nails and cuticles until it looks like I stuck my hand in a blender. I’m glad I could paint my nails tonight and get my hands back in order.
  • As always, I am grateful for health and a wonderful family.

What are you thankful for this week?

  4. What a relief to hear your friends little one is on the mend. That couch is awesome and I loved seeing Jackson on IG ready for school! Too sweet. 🙂

    • I’m very Thankful you made the move up here 8 years ago, where would I be without you?! 😉 I’m happy that Jackson is loving school & doing well with it! As for the nails…..I am in DESPERATE need for a mani & pedi…let me know when you want to go!! 🙂

  8. Loving the sofa! And I am the exact same way about my nails. Of course I haven’t been able to put polish on in quite awhile so they’re looking pretty ragged 😉 And so glad to hear your friend’s daughter made it through surgery. Something to be thankful for indeed!

  10. I love that you do this each week. I think I will join in next week! I’m so glad your friend’s daughter did well in surgery. It is scary the amount of kids I keep hearing about with cancer. 🙁 It really breaks my heart.

  14. Yay for 8 years as a New Englander! Love the quote (so true) and I’m so happy for your friend’s daughter. LOVE the sofa sleeper!! And kudos to you for keeping your nails done. I’m jealous of your self-manicures. maybe i should have you start doing mine. 😉

  15. True true true! Gratitude is the key to happiness!
    Happy 8th Anniversary – only 30 years to go to make you a real Rhode Islander! 🙂
    We’ll hit 7 years in March!

  18. Wow! 8 years! I am going on 2 this August (left palm trees and sun from CA), but we love it here too! 🙂
    A great list of things you wrote, and I love the wording at the start of your post too- so true! Grateful what we already have is really a key to happiness. I am grateful for the sweet giggles I heard at pick up today when the kids saw I had the puppy in the car 🙂
