November 20th: What Are You Thankful For?

I guess that answers when is Thanksgiving ;) I am hoping for some Black Friday sales, cos yes that is a thing here too. Online stores gotta keep up with US ones.

I am thankful for the obvious things, that are not that everyone have in the end.

I am thankful for a roof over my head. I like our flat and little yard.
I am thankful for my SO who is patient when I am raging hormonal b*tch.
I am thankful for my beautiful daughter. She may not let me sleep, ever, but she is precious.
I am thankful for living in Finland. First we get to be home for 9 months when the baby is born, and then if we so chose we get to be home even longer. This with not that much money, but we do get some, and  with some do not buy books or other things rules, means I can be home until Fall. Then I really should go back so she can start daycare.
I am thankful for Luci, he is a handful too but I adore him.
I m thankful for food on my table and a nice quiet life.

I am also thankful for all of you! You make my day every time :D With comments and more. Thank you all!

  2. I never knew Black Friday was outside the US. I'd love to visit Finland but am afraid it would be too cold for me there. I am especially thankful for family this year.

    1. With all the internet shopping these days shops have to keep up, also Finns take any holiday for a reason to hold a sale. There is always a sale going on

  4. It is great that you live in a country that makes it possible to stay home with your little one for an extended time. I think that they send moms back to work way too soon here. Enjoy those sales!

  14. AWw many things to be thankful for. And home for 9 months after the baby, that is wonderful! I think they get like 12 weeks unpaid here in the U.S. which is not good at all.
