Your babes are getting taller and stronger every day.

My favorite Autumn decoration is our Tree of Gratitude! Dear Friends, I have such a fun tradition to share with you today! Roughly 5 years ago I wrote a paper for one of my courses on the profound impact gratitude can have on a person’s life. What I learned effected me so much that I wanted to put things into motion in my family’s life right away that would focus on gratitude. It happened to be close to November at the time and I love Christmas decorations. My husband will tell you I am notorious for trying to get him to let me put up the Christmas…
