APPLE BUTTER COOKIE RECIPE

 How do you talk about how grateful you are for something without sounding like you’re just bragging to no end? I suppose you could just say, “I am grateful for XYZ” but what if your heart is so full of Thankfulness and blessings that you feel like it could explode at any moment.

That’s how I feel right now as I’m typing this blog post. Don’t get my wrong, my life isn’t perfect. I have troubles and problems just like the next person. Sometimes things don’t go my way and sometimes I feel like I wish and pray and work towards goals for YEARS before I see a glimmer of them. However right now, as I sit here in my living room with my cuddly baby boy dreaming beside me and my Christmas tree lit up in the corner of the room, everything seems right in the world and my heart feels like it could just burst.
