I am going to attempt to write up a blog post every day from now until Thanksgiving. This is a lofty goal, but if I get up early enough I just might be able to tip toe very quietly over to the computer and say good morning and how do you do. I’d like to do a thankful series and I’d love for you to join me.

Today I am thankful for the kindness of strangers. I received an email just before Chloe was born, in the middle of Craft Hope’s sock monkey project, from a sweet gal named Jessica. An Aussie currently residing in Germany who makes sock monkies and has a super fab Etsy shop selling her sweet creations. Well Jessica told me she wanted to make some monkies for my little monkies and the wee one yet to be born. The day the monkies arrived there was pandemonium, chaos, an uprising. Kids squealing over their monkies, monkies demanding to go to the park, and monkies climbing on the baby. Well go ahead, see for yourself.

Thank you sweet Jessica for thinking of my children. I am thankful for the smiles you brought to their faces and to mine.

    Thank you so much for such a lovely post Jade :) I am so glad the monkies arrived safely and brought out the gorgeous smiles of your babes, we have all grown to love. As always your photos are second to none, so thank YOU for sharing these precious moments with all of us. jx

    Hi Jade
    How cute are those little monkeys – both the sock variety and the others!!

    I think the being thankful idea is a good one! I have a little notebook that I am meant to record things I am thankful for on a daily basis – doesn’t happen very often = perhaps now is the time to resurrect it!
