10 things i'm grateful for

1. My mom-in-laws potato tacos with rice and beans--for breakfast!

2. Just when I begin to lose my way in a spiral of negativity, the universe finds a way to remind me that all is truly well.

3. Sweet kisses and hugs from my little one.

4. An unexpected gift from my father.

5. Stuffed shells. I could eat them almost every day. Our family loves the recipe from this book. (There is also a fantastic vegan mac and cheese recipe!)

6. A cup of tea and the latest issue of Sunset magazine. It always makes me want to start a garden right this very moment, or to go glamping up the west coast.

7. Hanna Andersson pajamas for little ones. They're organic, super soft, and come in the cutest prints.

8. Marriage can be a real challenge sometimes, especially since adding a baby to the mix, but it has also helped us to grow so much as individuals and as a couple. I'm grateful for the chance for growth, and thankful for the love that I share with him always.

9. The infinite uses of coconut oil--food, moisturizer, shaving cream, smoothie enhancer--love that stuff.

10. The wisdom of Mayim Bialik. She's such a role model of mine. Read her fabulous articles here.
