I’ve had this new idea to start posting all the little lists I keep in my phone and my post-it note pads. I’ll write down things I want to make sure I put in my journal, things I’m grateful for during the week, or just random themes I notice in my life (like all the phrases and words I have to stop saying in front of Ella…). I figure this blog is basically just a record of my life and I better make that record as complete as possible. Anyway, here’s a list of what I’m grateful for right now.

• How much Ella loved Valentine’s Day
• When my little sister puts screenshots of our texts in her Instagram stories
• The sugar cookies at a one year old’s birthday party last Saturday
• Yuzuru Hanyu’s costumes
• The red highlights in Jack’s hair

• Ella’s spontaneous singing, usually church music
• My older sister immediately believing me when I told her I have an enemy
• My older sister googling what to do when you have an enemy
• Memes about how long January was
• Ella cooperating for photo shoots

• Matthew’s banana bread
• Jack’s arm waving when music comes on
• Preschool days
• Our clean dining room table
• Palace by Sam Smith
• Spring weather in February
