A Thankful Friday Five

Morning and HAPPY FRIDAY, friends! Cheers to the weekend, yeah? Today in place of the normal Friday Five, I figured I'd get in one last THANKFUL post. Normally I post these on Thursdays, but yesterday was all about TREATS.

I'm Thankful for Early Celebrations: Yes, early! This year is Thanksgiving with Le Husband's family so my family celebrated earlier this week. It was a delicious dinner of ribs, potatoes, casseroles, cornbread, rolls and of course Mama B's famous Oreo Ice Cream cake. We laughed, told stories and of course stuffed our faces. I'm so thankful for my wonderful family, they are so supporting and loving and I'm so blessed to have them! #bradybunchfamily #antondas


I'm Thankful for Health: Last year around this time I was dealing with some unexpected news that threw my family for a loop. Thankfully, this year things are fine and everything is well. I am so THANKFUL to be healthy and to know those I care about are healthy as well. My body is in the best shape it's been in awhile {thank you WHOLE30 and hard work} and I'm so grateful for each and every day I greet the day happy and healthy. #getouthereandmove #happytobehealthy

I'm Thankful for Inspiring Words: LOVE YOUR LIFE!

  1. I love that you guys celebrating a little early - we did that too with my husband's family last weekend. Health is such an important thing...my MIL fell this week and is in the hospital so it's times like this we truly value health a little more than normal...

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend love! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
