Thankful for the Little Things

One of the fun and challenging parts of motherhood it trying to keep your children busy and occupied while trying to get various tasks done. For me the challenge always seem to come during meal prep time. On this particular morning I was trying to get breakfast in the oven and Macaylee was fussy and ready for a nap (she got up a little too early). All she wanted was to be held. I just needed about 5 minutes to get our breakfast in the oven and then I would be able to put her down.

As you can see from the pictures I am so thankful for this cabinet that holds all of our Tupperware and mixing bowls, all the things that the girls can play with. In my last kitchen my Tupperware was in a basket that was on a low shelf, that Maddie and Miriam could easily get to. Now all I have to do is open up the doors, take out some mixing spoons and they are good to go. On this particular morning it worked like a charm. I had breakfast ready in a few minutes and then we were off to nap time.

Lord help us to be thankful always

in all circumstances (Thessalonians 5:18)

And most of all to be thankful because

You are good,

and your love endures forever (Jeremiah 33:11)
