RECAP: November Photo Challege

This past November I participated in my own 30 Day Give Thanks Photo Challenge!

I posted a photo a day on Instagram and I couldn't leave you hanging so...

Here's my November photo RECAP:

(I usually write my caption ABOVE the photos, but this time 

I wanted to confuse you by writing the caption BELOW the picture.)

 1. Favorite Food

*I'm thankful for Pie. I love to make it. I love to eat it.

*I'm thankful for my scriptures. They are my life line, my directions,
my morning ritual to get through each day.

a different type of speaking when I write in my journal
and it relaxes me. -This is my 20th journal.

Words shared with him are always something I look forward to).

 23. A favorite quote

I'm thankful for these quiet moments. (And NOT just for my sanity).

*I'm thankful for hobbies. I like to stay busy, but one of my favorites is sitting around the table with my kids while we all hold a paint brush. Watercolor is my absolute favorite! Most people find it dismal or gloomy, but I can't help having fun with all the colors while splashing with water. I'm a child with watercolor!

 29. A Pastime

*I'm thankful for my ukulele. Time flies when I'm strumming and learning. My kids LOVE to hear lullabies at night. But playing with my WHOLE family around the campfire and a plethora of ukes is the ultimate enjoyment! I'll be playing a Christmas song this month at the RS Ward party! Wish me luck!

*I'm thankful for the Christmas season. Decorating-Hot chocolate-Lights-Music-Gift Giving-My Savior's birth & life celebrated. But most of all, I love my children's ages right now during this season. It brings the most beautiful Christmas spirit fully to life!
