If you're thankful you should show it...
I've had the idea to add a thankful jar to our house for a while but in true Wonder fashion I wanted to wait until the new year...(I like clean and definitive starts to things - lol). We noticed our daughter is always looking for the "next" thing and somewhat unappreciative of the toys and opportunities she has. Don't get me wrong, she is a GREAT kid, but with all the commercial and materialism out there it's a hard road to navigate, especially for the little ones. I proposed the idea of the thankful jar at the beginning of December and we wrote down what we were thankful for the first two weeks of the new year but I just now finished the jar. What is a thankful jar? It's a jar where you keep slips of paper where you jot down what you are thankful for. Simple right? Some people do it everyday for a month, some only once a month. For us we decided that we would each write down one thing we were thankful for or something that made us smile each week in...
