everyday riches

..





































Yesterday Chessa and I decided to play a game, making a list of all the things we are rich in.

We are rich in family.

We are rich in love.

We are rich in health.

We are rich in land.

We are rich in trees.

We are rich in candles.

We are rich in flowers.

We are rich in clothes.

We are rich in dolls.

We are rich in cats.

We are rich in horses.

We are rich in dishes.

We are rich in wooden horses.

We are rich in books.

We are rich in notebooks.

We are rich in beeswax.

We are rich in pencils.

We are rich in crayons.

We are rich in fabric.

We are rich in wool.

We are rich in baby.

We are rich in girls.

We are rich in sisters.

We are rich in handmades.

We are rich in skills.

We are rich in gardens.

We are rich in seeds.

We are rich in compost.

We are rich in friends.

We are rich in memories.

We are rich in dreams.

We are rich in hope.

And then Chessa says, "Seems like we're rich in pretty much everything except money."

Sounds pretty good to us!

What are you rich in?

    Awwww. That is beautiful! I wish out kids didnt have to worry about not being rich in money, but we are teaching them the wonderful lesson...that there is SO much more than to be rich in money. Your little bean is getting so big and sweet!!!

    Much love mama,

    I just love the title of this post Renee - and like you, we are rich in soooo many ways - money, though, is not one of them and that is ok - it is the path we have chosen.
    Love your handwork and that salad looks so yummy!
    Love Tonya

    Dear Renee, this is so beautiful, and so very true. You are so RICH! In all the best things! This is such a wonderful idea, I'd like to do this with my children. I know one thing that would not be on the list- rich in sisters! Shea will say rich in brothers, which is just as nice. :)
    HUGS and love, Mel
