Top Ten Things I Am Thankful For
Quote Addicts

I would like to share with all of you just some of the things I happen to be the most thankful for. Some of these are big things and others are small, but these are what make up my personal list of things that I happen to be very thankful for every day, day in and day out! I hope you like and enjoy them! So here i my top ten things that I am thankful for! I hope you all had a happy holiday!

1. I am thankful for my kids.

My kids are my life! Little bundles of joy, even though they were surprises I would not ever change a thing. My babies are happy cheerful little ones, and not to mention good little ones as well!

2. I am thankful for my boyfriend.

My boyfriend is beyond amazing. He is sweet, kind, and caring. He is also the best father! I got lucky in that department!!

3. I am thankful for my little cousins.

Mary, Ella, and Adam. Mary is the oldest, she is seven years old! Ella is the middle child; she is five years old. Lastly Adam is the youngest, he is 20 months old.These guys are awesome and very goofy! Not to mention they love to run around and do a lot of educational activities.

4. I am thankful for my Aunts, Uncles, Mom, and Dad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
