HEY everyone,

my name is Jess & I am half the brains behind booqi boutique, Kyle (aka the hubby) is the other half.

I love Lisa's idea of taking time out to be grateful. Sometimes life seems to rush by so fast (especially with a 1 year old) that I forget to stop and just take a moment to be thankful.

So here are somethings I am grateful for:

- I am truly thankful for my best friend,my husb

and, who is just perfect for me. (He encourages and supports my crazy ideas and never rubs it in when they don't work out so well.) For his steadfastness, his solidness & everything else about him.

- I am utterly (mostly) thankful for my gorgeous son who showers me with unconditional love, I am not a perfect Mum but everyday I look into his big blue eyes and it makes me want to be better and better just for him.

- I am grateful for the winter weather at the moment because it reminds me how I love the smell of rain, the feel of sheep wool on my toes and the taste of warm chocolatey goodness down my throat. (things which can happen any other time of the year but just seem that little sweeter in winter)

- I am unbelievably grateful for my other family (you know the ones) the sisters, the friends who should be sisters/brothers. For their stories, their laughter, their love. We move away from each other but I always feel like I am with them & they are with me.

- Lastly I am absolutely, most of all, thankful for the big man upstairs.
