Gratitude Journal Continuing

I am continuing my Gratitude Journal FOREVER. Because seriously, who says that you have to only be grateful for stuff in November?!



Today I am so grateful for my amazing husband and his willingness to let me be myself, and go for what I want in life. I have found what I truly love in blogging. Some men might think their wife is CRAZY or nuts for spending time talking to a computer screen, making friends with complete strangers, and getting together with random companies just to mix and mingle, but my husband embraces it with a smile and supports me 100%

But really, I have the best life. Being able to meet other bloggers, talk with each one of YOU, and share my life experiences with everyone.

Thank YOU for being a part of making this happen, but especially my husband who lets me just “go with it”!

Gratitude Journal–Nap Time

Day 7 – Today is one of those days that I have never been so thankful for nap time! The Little Man was up almost all night having night terrors, and then Baby Girl Barker woke up at 6:30 (they normally sleep until 8:30) and yelled until everyone in the house was awake for the day!
So this morning was spent with her playing happily and The Little Man and I cuddling on his bed, watching cartoons, and being ornery about being awake! Although we did a lot this morning, our moods eventually improved, and there were lots of laughs, I was still very excited for nap/quiet time and a little peace and quiet!

Day 6 - I am not going to get all political on you today, don’t worry. I just want to say that today I am grateful to be in a free country, the right to vote, and the right to be whoever I want to be!

Gratitude Journal–Daddy

Day 4 and 5 – Today I am putting 2 of my Gratitudes together. I don’t blog on Sunday’s, so you get both of them today!



I am so grateful for my amazing Dad. Not just who he is as a person, but how he raised me, the standards he instilled in me from a young age, and the gospel he raised me to feel and understand.
My Dad is such an amazing person inside and out. He is the most giving, serving, and caring person and always puts others before himself. You can catch him fixing someone’s broken roof, working on their car, or building them a deck and he doesn’t blink an eye or speak a single complaint.



And the only thing better than him being my Dad, is that he is my kids’ Grandpa. Seriously, he is their favorite person ever, and he spoils them to bits. It’s no surprise to me that “Grandpa” was Baby Girl Barker’s first word, and she said it right to him as he walked in the house. The time he spends with them, the books he reads, pool days he’s spent, and facetime conversations he has had will always be remembered by my kids, because Grandpa is their hero.



This post is part of my Gratitude Journal. I will be posting until Thanksgiving about things I am grateful for.

Gratitude Journal–Giving

Day 3 – I am so grateful for the chance to help others. Although not in the greatest financial situation ourself, sometimes even the smallest act of kindness or gift can brighten someone’s day. Later this month we will be participating with a bunch of neighbors to bring an early Christmas to another neighbor who has cancer and may not be around come December 25th to celebrate with his young family. The blessing of helping to provide a small amount of happiness for them, surpass anything I could have spent those few extra dollars on.

Gratitude Journal–Play at home Mommy

Day 2 – I am so grateful to be a Play at home Mommy. I can’t count the sacrifices and struggles that we have gone thru since I decided to stop working full time and raise my kids. But the blessings of being around them, teaching them, and experiences all their “firsts” far make up for the other “worldly” items we are missing out on.
