Hey everyone, happy Friday! I'm starting a new series this week called Friday Food and Favorites. I will be posting some gorgeous food with a link to the recipe, plus some fabulous items that I've personally chosen for you that I think are great!
But first, I'd like to congratulate Karen Itkin Roe for winning the houndstooth tights giveaway. Thanks, Karen for being an awesome follower!

In our house on Friday nights my family does something called 'Thank you Hashem' where we go around the table and say one thing we are grateful for that happened during the week. Unfortunately, humans are not naturally inclined to only see the good; as a matter of fact we usually take so much for granted and notice everything that's missing or wrong. We need to train our brains to appreciate what we have. If we fill our minds with all the good in our lives, there leaves little room for negativity.
This concept is why I want to end my Friday posts by showing something I am grateful for from the past week. This idea was also inspired by Oksana at Order Matters who uses her instagram app to portray items she's grateful for during the week.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR...
Have a beautiful weekend!
