I love Fridays, I love thank you notes, and I love Jimmy’s Thank You Notes. So, naturally, Fridays here on my blog means: Thank You Notes and Jimmy Fallon.

My Thank You Notes:

Thank you, birthdays, for being the perfect opportunity to walk around with balloons.

Yesterday went by so fast I didn’t post any pictures of our fun day. 10 years went by even faster! I cannot believe my baby girl has lived a whole decade. I honestly have no idea where the time has run off to, but it feels like a sprint, & I’d rather keep it slow & steady. But it’s not about me, it’s about my sweet baby girl. AKA the artist, love bug, mermaid, our little sunshine, the comedian ? I hope she’ll always color the world with her kindness & and imagination, I hope she keeps her love of all things mermaid & never misses an opportunity to swim in the water, and I hope she keeps healing souls with her laughter, because let’s face it laughter & love ARE the best medicine. Hot cocoa cheers to many many many many many many many many more decades!!! ?☕️ A photo posted by Mrs.AOK (@mrs_aok) on Nov 7, 2015 at 7:01am PST

Thank you, baby girl, for being artsy. I had such a great time creating with y’all.

Also, thank you for being a Christmas elf. 🙂

When your daughter is a Christmas elf and it’s her birthday weekend… this happens. ? Also, Christmas music. ??

      Thank you, elementary school, for putting on a lovely assembly for our veterans. It was so cute to hear those little voices sing patriotic songs and see them hand out flowers to all the veterans. The slideshow was nice too!

⬆️❤️ My hero, my love, my life ❤️⬆️ 10 years & 9 months ago two of my favorite people came home from war and a weight was lifted off my chest. The love of my life & my sister from another mister (@yvetteays) came home on the same day, to the same gym, at the same time, and I was in a state of elation. I felt like the luckiest girl, up to that point my life was: hating the news but I had to watch, avoiding unexpected knocks at the door, and a slight depression that I couldn’t shake. It was hard, but again, I was lucky, I got them both back! Military families & our veterans sacrifice SO MUCH for us. These veterans, service members, and families deserve more than a day, they sacrifice for us each day. We’re still at war. Thank a veteran, thank a service member, and their families this week, please. I don’t know how my parents did it but they did it, career soldier & career Army wife. Thank you, veterans, service members, & military families. ************************************************ How do I know the timeframe? Well, we just celebrated our celebration baby’s 10th birthday a few days ago ? #AtLastMyLoveHasComeAlong #instagood A photo posted by Mrs.AOK (@mrs_aok) on Nov 11, 2015 at 6:54pm PST

Thank you, day dates, I need you! 🙂 Sushi, Starbucks, and Seattle…

Thank you, encouragers, for being so supportive to me during my first Periscope yesterday!! I was beyond nervous.

Thank you, everyone, who has joined my kindness challenge #RandomAOK! I cannot wait to see what others will share. So far we’ve had thank you cards, an Empty Bowl Project, clothes donation, and treats for a mail carrier. What are you going to share? I have 30 acts of kindness you can choose from here PLUS a printable 🙂

Thank you, Friday the 13th, for being all about kindness today. 🙂

Happy Friday the 13th!!!

What are you thankful for this week?
