Multitude Monday #341-360

I am linking up with A Holy Experience today to blog about what blessings I have in my life. Today I am so thankful for a trip my family and I took to the mountains this past weekend. My husband gave me this for my birthday, and I think it was one of the best birthdays on record! It was a time to recharge, relax, and think about what is REALLY important to me.

I am thankful for...

341. The Appalachian Mountains
342. making memories

354. a flexible homeschooling schedule
355. giggling children falling asleep in a warm bed

Multitude Monday #301-320

Multitude Monday #301-320

Today was truly a long and tiring day - it was a GOOD day, don't get me wrong - just tiring! Once the kids were in bed and I had a chat with a good friend on the phone the last thing I felt like doing was writing a blog post. Somehow, however, I just couldn't not write a Multitude Monday post. I have grown so fond of writing them and of being thankful. So, with just an hour and half left in this Monday, I will share what I am thankful for! This post is also linked up to other Multitude Monday bloggers - so head over to A Holy Experience to see what others are thankful for!

301. My husband's car - because it has an mp3 jack and mine doesn't - this way I can listen to my favorite music in style!
302. balloons on a rainy day; they provided a lot of entertainment for my five year old today
303. Nutter Butters
304. an awesome trip to a local planetarium and science center this weekend
