I am trying to practice more thankfulness in my life, not just because of the season, but because it’s good for my soul.
One thing for which I am grateful is the opportunity I had this past week to contribute at the Huffington Post. You can read my article How to Deal with Stress: 5 Fun Activities to Help You Unwind here.
I offered a FREE 99 Ways to Jump for Joy Subway Art Printable Mini Poster to the Huffington Post readers which you can grab by joining The Peaceful Mom Weekly eNotes Community HERE.
I am also VERY thankful to my husband for taking my son clothes shopping, and for the $11 jeans they were able to find on clearance (especially since my 6’2″ son has a difficult time finding jeans in his size!).
My favorite happening this week was my lunch date with my husband at P.F. Chang’s--a rare treat made possible by a gift card my husband won in a promotion at his job!
The food was delicious, but I had to laugh at the message in my fortune cookie:
What are you thankful for this week? Leave a comment! 🙂

I am grateful for my healthy and happy family, enough food in the pantry, and for chocolate, without which I would have been a far grumpier person this week.
Thanks for the thorughtful and inspiring posts. I am currently doing a $100/week grocery challenge due to your Living on Less than $28K series, except we only eat unprocessed, organic foods. So far so good. Wish me luck!
I’m with you on the chocolate. 🙂 Great job on sticking to your grocery budget Elizabeth!

This week I am grateful for a moving Remembrance Day (Veteran’s Day) assembly at my children’s school. The trumpet music always gets me. I am also thankful to that I finished writing a draft of a new discipline policy for my school, so the committee can take a look at it.
WOW good price on jeans! We also struggle w/ finding jeans to fit our oldest son because of his height. He is 6’1″ & skinny as they come:) Where did they find them?
He actually found them at Walmart, which is surprising, but we have had good luck at JC Penny’s. I’ve heard they have a bigger selection online but we haven’t tried that yet.
