My heart is so full as I write this… it seems that with a few good sunny warm days of working in the garden and the kitchen, and sharing good food with close friends, life is really really good. I am grateful for an abundance of beautiful local produce and the means with which to cook it and the money to buy it (and soon to grow it!). I am grateful for healthy, happy children who share space and toys and laughter with other joyful, loving children. I am grateful for the comfort and peace-of-mind that a clean and cared-for home provides. I am grateful for a partner who happily asks, “What can I do to help?” not only in the middle of the night with a screaming toddler, but also during the day with chores and childcare and everything in-between. 
I am grateful for friends who let me “borrow” their delicious baby girl so that I can satisfy my baby fix without… you know, going there. 
I am grateful that we found these baby bunnies before our dog did! And they are looking even cuter, if that is possible, since opening their eyes yesterday! 
Don’t do it, Emil
I am grateful for good, strong immune systems. Because he did it.
I am grateful for simple. Because roasting baby carrots in their skins with olive oil, salt, and rosemary makes for a delightful treat. 
I am grateful for this life. I am not worthy of it, and I cherish it.
The bunnies are the cutest! The boys must love them. We had a dinner with friends at ours Friday night & there really is nothing better than good food with great friends, except maybe cute babies 🙂 x
i sure love a good gratitude session. life sounds wonderful. glad you’re enjoying it. those moments are all damn near perfect looking.
You ARE worthy of this life, and you are cherished!
I think gratitude makes you (and all of us) worthy. Especially gratitude for the small moments.
Hello, perfect weekend. Adorable children, good friends, a helpful husband AND bunnies? What a life.
So beautiful, Lauren. I love the colors and the bunnies and the food and the words so much. Spriiiiiiiiing!
That is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard all day. You’ve created this life, and you are absolutely worthy.
Yum, what a gorgeous spread, and weekend! Please share details on the menu!
You absolutely deserve a weekend like this one, and the very full, very good life that you have.

Oh, Emil! That made me laugh so hard.
And ERMAHGERRRRRRD! Those bunnies. I die.
It looks like you guys throw an awesome backyard party. I want to be neighbors. (Hi. I’m sounding like a creeper again. Sorry.)
Wow, who wouldn’t want to be a part of this weekend! Gorgeous everything, sometimes I don’t take pictures when I’m in a perfect moment like this because I just want to live it… but when I take the time I’m actually always glad. It does make you so grateful and happy to look at all that beauty. Enjoy enjoy!
But you ARE worthy of it, every bit!
And the baby bunnies?…..heartbreak!
