Giving Thanks for the Bigs and Littles

By  |  5 Comments

first off, thanks to all of the fabulous people participating in #GratefulLove! i absolutely love connecting with other people who value their marriage and relationship! my mom even wanted to do it and i showed her how to post her first instagram photo and add a hashtag (at one point she did say “so where do i send my hashtag”)! there’s still time to join in if you want to!

    Your list is amazing. The things you included on there are some things we forget to be thankful for. Tasting, reading, smelling, toothpaste! But they are so important.
