Mama Loves is a Tuesday meme hosted by Tanya Dennis, High Calling Blogger and kindred spirit. Just like me, she’s a Christian and New Jersey mommy. If she were a home schooler, she’d be my blogging twin. Mark my words: the day will come when we shall meet. O, the bloggy joy that will come of it!
But enough about that. To today’s meme:
What inspired thankfulness in my children recently:
1. Peanut butter and jelly (or jelly squishy bread for Lucy). No matter how many times I make it, they eat it. I attribute it to me eating PB&J while pregnant. I called it Teaching Baby to Love Peanut Butter. I think it worked. I’m thankful for quick and easy lunches too.
2. White fudge covered Oreo cookies. There was much happiness in the land when I pulled these from my 
closet the other day. Yes, I keep cookies in my closet, hidden underneath socks and underwear (this is a full disclosure blog, don’t forget.) If I want a chance to nibble on a fudge covered Oreo, I must squirrel them away until the big reveal. I’m also thankful for Two for $5.
3. A thoughtful neighbor lady. “Thank you, I love Lego’s!” That’s my boy overjoyed at getting a new toy. Yesterday, my neighbor appeared at our door with two big plastic bags bursting with educational books, activities, goodies and toys. She knows we home educate and wanted to share her old supplies she no longer needs. I’m thankful for my generous neighbor and to my sister-in-law giving us more bookshelves. Please, Santa. More bookshelves! I would never ask you to stop sending books.

Ooooh! I LOVE White Fudge Oreos!!
Thanks for participating! Your link shows up now. I don’t know what was going on before, but it’s there now. I am using a different Mister Linky — rather than showing the list in my post, it shows them in a pop-up window. Maybe that’s why it was weird?
Tanya Denniss last blog post..Mama Loves: Attitudes of Gratitude
Got my kiddo some of those White Fudge Oreos this weekend and surprised him when he came over on Sunday with ‘em as an early Christmas. He ripped right into ‘em, and very thankful I thought of him!
He just called me at work to tell me how thankful he is for the mentor he’s been given at the bank. Says the man has so much to teach him about the business world that he’ll be able to use even if banking is not Logan’s ultimate job. Very excited about the opportunity he’s been given and grateful for the chance to learn at the feet of someone so highly regarded and with such experience. Wrote the man a thank-you note for the time he spent with Logan yesterday. Aww, those hard-fought lessons of writing thank-you notes when he was little paid off!! Yay God!
