Welcome to Thank You Notes!
What is Thank You Notes? I share a few weekly thank you notes and you are invited! You can linkup your Thank You Notes below. I cannot take credit for Thank You Notes, Jimmy Fallon is my inspiration for this linkup.
Jimmy’s Thank You Notes:
I love how Jimmy was thankful for #DeflateGate too.
Thank you, sweetie, for doing wonderfully in school. I am not sure words can express how damn proud I am of you. It is such an honor to be your Mama, to see you grow and become such a beautiful soul. I love you.
Thank you, babies, for being good at the award ceremony and the dentist’s office, you both make me proud. It was nice to receive compliments from multiple people on your good behavior. I had such a special Friday with the two of you. I’m loving our lunch dates.
Thank you, muscle man, for vacuuming your own room and then surprising us with bringing the vacuum down stairs BY YOURSELF. I had to capture this moment….
Thank you, Multitasking Momma, for sharing my linkups on your New This Week post. I totally appreciate the support!
I have a special thank you note this week. It’s a twofer, a thank you note annnnd a swap reveal. Thank you, Mia, for all my goodies!
I’m not sure if you remember, but I created a list of words I wanted to focus on this year, and thankfully Mia helped me with that. Encouraging was one of my words, so when I found this “encouraging” swap I had to sign up! Mia, has been such a sweet swap partner, we have been connecting via email, Twitter, Instagram, and our blogs. 🙂
Mia seriously nailed it with this box!! However, if you know me, you know I’m a super sap, so her card blew me away, she made me get teary-eyed.
The cards are for me to send out love/encouragement to people. Thank you very much! Who wants a card?
I want to create more this year, and Mia hooked me up! She sent me two notebooks, Mod Podge Rocks (yes, it does), a fabulous Sharpie pen (this girl loves Sharpies), and some sparkly gold letters, I cannot wait to get all crafty.
Okay, another goal I have this year is to be more present. I mean… can’t we all be a little more present? For this goal Mia sent me Die Empty, which is about embracing the present and letting the good stuff pour out rather than being buried with it. I think this book is going to push me in the right direction, pushing fear to the left, to the left. I CANNOT wait to dive into this book, bonus there’s a workbook!
Thank you, Mia, for such a sweet heartfelt box! You are stuck with me too. p.s. BOO Washington! Yay Cowboys!
EXTRA: Behind-the-scenes
This guy was right by my side while I took pictures of all my goodies 😉 that’s what she said and now he’s snoring next to me while I type this up. Love him, snores and all!
Well, loves, it is FRIDAY and I am plenty thankful for that!!

January 30, 2015 at 7:52 amYour little boy vacuumed his room? That’s so amazing! I can never get over how sweet and adorable your family is. Friday lunch dates sound awesome!

January 31, 2015 at 8:35 amYes, these kids love to vacuum… now. 🙂 I just had no idea the boy could bring down the vacuum cleaner all the way down the stairs. I was a bit scared once I saw with the vacuum, but proud.
Thank you, Bev! I love our little family.

January 30, 2015 at 10:18 amWhat a strong guy! That’s tough!! The compliments of your kiddos is a reflection of your great parenting with your husband and the love your kids have for you! That was a sweet swap! She really knows you! I just got that book for my birthday from Sophie! 😉 We should prob swap addresses for our cards! Have a great weekend xo
MrsA0K2001
January 31, 2015 at 8:50 amAwww Shelly, thanks, that was so sweet of you to say (type).
Yes, my little guy is a little macho man, he enjoys working out with my husband and I. 🙂
Isn’t crazy how Mia stuck “ME” in a box, I do not even have a good About Page. 😀
Let’s do it, let’s be some card-swapping-fools!!!

January 30, 2015 at 10:58 amLook a your little man, or big man getting things done all by himself! Love the sweatband too, has his own little style. You must have felt so awesome for your daughter and her doing well in school. Cheers to that! I know you’re beyond a proud mama. Those goodiea you got look like so much fun. I can’t wait to see what you create with them. And yes, being more present is something I’ve struggled with as well, it’s not as easy as people think with so many distractions we have these days!
MrsA0K2001
January 31, 2015 at 9:19 amCan I keep him little? I want to keep him little. They all keep growing too fast. 🙁
Yes, I am immensely proud of my daughter she is doing beyond wonderful, if that is possible, she is doing it.
I cannot wait to create, creating things fills me up.
I couldn’t agree more there are a thousand things going on in our lives and around us to distract us from the present, I want to be more centered. HAHA wish me luck with that.
XOXO

I love reading your thank you notes. In fact, I did my first one today. Thanks for the inspiration :).
You’re kids are too cute. I missed out on my kids growing up because I was always at the office. It’s so good to see you capturing every special moment.
Have a great day and weekend hun!
MrsA0K2001
January 31, 2015 at 8:53 amI loved your thank you notes, Corina!! Thank you for participating and your super sweet kind words. Your words seriously touched my heart, thank you!!!
I am very thankful I have the luxury of being with my babies, I don’t want to take a minute of this journey for granted. I know you didn’t either, I’m sure you have tons of wonderful memories stored, and NOW the full house. ♥
Wishing you a beautiful weekend!

January 30, 2015 at 7:15 pmHow sweet that he brought down the vacuum, and your swap package looks like it was filled with sunshine!
MrsA0K2001
January 31, 2015 at 8:58 amAfter I got over my worry of him coming down the stairs lugging the vacuum cleaner bigger than him, I thought it was the sweetest thing, I was proud of him.
The package is amazeballs! I was/am blown away with Mia’s thoughtfulness.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend, beautiful!
XOXO

What a sweet gift for making cards. How fun!
MrsA0K2001
January 31, 2015 at 4:54 pmThank you, he is a cutie for sure.
I’m in love with my gifts and the boy! I cannot wait to share some cards.

January 31, 2015 at 10:51 pmOh my goodness, that picture of your little man with the vacuum. Mom swoon! And your puppy “helping” you unbox everything, haha, what a sweetie!
Can I just say that I am *SO* glad that you signed up for the swap! I cannot wait to cheer you on and be that annoyingly persistent cheerleader in your corner. 🙂 And can you please keep the goodie flashing to a minimum? Ahem. Hahaha, I kid, I kid. 🙂
Hope you have the bestest weekend ever and maybe get some time to relax or create something. xo
MrsA0K2001
February 2, 2015 at 10:21 amThank you, he is quite swoonable, I probably swoon over him too much. Mama’s Boy.
Okay, I have two Mama’s boys m’boy and my fur baby.
I am glad I joined in too, this was such a fun swap. I am pleased to have you in my corner!! 🙂 I hope you know that means I will be in yours telling you to get up and fight, because you’ve got this!! Okay, it also means I may send you cards, links and Pinterest pins, because they made me think of you. 🙂 It’s a thing I do…. I hope you don’t mind.
HAHA!…. NO… I’m proud of my goodies, my goodies! 😀
I had a pretty good weekend, thank you. I would not say ‘the’ best ever, but good nonetheless. I worked on the creation of these pythons! 😀 ((I said that like a juice-head) {My apologies to juice heads who frequent my blog}
When are you coming over to CrossFit?
Happy February!
XOXO

February 2, 2015 at 12:14 amThat is quite an awesome gift box you received! I always prefer gifts that you can use and make creations with!
MrsA0K2001
February 2, 2015 at 10:57 amYes, this was such an awesome gift box, and you’re right it is always a bonus when you can create with your gifts. Thanks for stopping in.
XOXO

February 2, 2015 at 6:23 amOMG…that pic of your little guy with the vacuum…too awesome…good for him and bravo to your kids for being awesome!
MrsA0K2001
February 2, 2015 at 11:04 amThank you, Karen. These kids fill my bucket. 🙂
I need to take advantage of is eagerness to vacuum more. 😀
XOXO

February 2, 2015 at 10:42 amWow, big guy carrying the vacuum! I hate doing that!!
And I’m loving the black and white photos. They’re really gorgeous.
Now I need to Google about Zoe’s Kitchen. I adore lunch dates with my kids (or just my husband) very much. In fact, there was no school today, which means that daycare will maybe let me drop Des off on Thursday. And no kids on a Thursday is good because that’s the only day my favorite hummus company does a pop-up restaurant. Yum!
MrsA0K2001
February 3, 2015 at 2:15 pmYum! I love hummus, but my almost 13 year-old is a hummus fanatic, she would love this pop-up restaurant you speak of. Zoe’s serves up fresh mediterranean food; my babies love it, especially the orzo chicken soup.
I miss my lunch dates with my babe, one of the things you don’t get when you’re homeschooling.
Thanks for the sweet compliment on my photos 🙂 that always means so much coming from you!
XOXO
