My parents can be pretty awesome at times! As well as my Aunts and Uncles, they all are always there to support me in whatever is happening around me or within my life.
5. I am thankful for clean water.
One of the many reasons I am thankful for this, is because Flint, Michigan has not had clean water in a very long time, as well as other countries around the world. I am thankful to have clean, safe, and edible water. I am grateful to be able to take decent showers, drink water, and cook with it, as well as making sure I can make formula for my daughter, and give my son water for when he is not feeling well and cannot hold down milk.To learn more please go to: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/04/us/flint-water-crisis-fast-facts/
6. I am thankful for my boyfriend’s Mom and siblings. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20980%20735'%3E%3C/svg%3E)
They can be a very goofy bunch, and are always so sweet and nice to me! I am happy I picked a good family to have my children a part of, I could not ask for anyone, or anything better!
7. I am thankful for handmade gifts. ![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20980%20551'%3E%3C/svg%3E)
Handmade gifts are the best, and most thoughtful. To me handmade gifts are the coziest and warmest gifts of all (especially blankets!!) handmade gifts usually (depending what it is) takes a bit of time to makes, therefore to me they are more genuine, although I do like store bought as well if you are not the crafty type!
8. I am thankful for having others who can give my children things they need.
Being on a tight budget can be hard with little ones, but I am lucky to have had friends and family give us clothes and things like high chairs, books, swings, and bouncers. Even though they were not brand new, I was appreciative. Especially when we had our daughter, because we were NOT expecting a she! (Was told we were having another little boy) and it was a delightful surprise, but yet, we had nothing for her.Also for new Mommies and Daddies, it is okay to accept help, it is not a sign of weakness! I promise!
9. I am thankful for being able to go to college and work towards my dream of becoming a teacher.
Although it is online schooling, it is tough, and I am glad I can do it from home, and not be away from my kids and daily duties.
10. I am thankful for my nephew.![](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20980%20735'%3E%3C/svg%3E)
Josiah is four years old, and a sweet, lovable, kid! He loves big, and smiles even bigger! I love my little man and I am so happy he is in my life.
