30 Days of Gratitude: Day 22

SugarBabe Lex is thankful for the kindness of strangers. By now, the whole world has seen the utter destruction of Typhoon Haiyan (locally called Yolanda) in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Because of being buried in a major work project, the magnitude of the storm flew past me, until I started getting emails and […]

30 Days of Gratitude : Day 21

SugarBabe Tara is thankful for adoption. The thing I am the most thankful for is adoption. I am a mom to SEVEN children, and not one of them came from me. I have two gorgeous step daughters that were my bonus for marrying their dad 15 years ago. We tried for many years after we […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 20

SugarBabe Kim loves her iPad. It is the first thing I grab when I wake up . . . it’s the last thing I plug in before I go to bed . . . I am talking about my iPad. I am so grateful for this little piece of technology and don’t know what I […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 19

Meghan is thankful for cooler weather   I live in the south..the south were summers are notoriously HOT and HUMID. YUCK! Because of the gross summers I’m choosing to be thankful for this cooler weather we’re experiencing in my town. This last year I’ve really gotten into running and there is nothing better than heading […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 18

Sugarbabe Nikki is thankful for her DVR. Yes that’s right . . . my DVR. I honestly can’t remember what life was like before being able to simply press record and have all my favorite shows at my fingertips. What’s a commercial? We don’t watch them in my house anymore. And I know I’m not […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 17

SugarBabe Trish is grateful for a community of understanding friends. Being a young teen mom is hard, but I’ve found that growing up and being a once-young teen mom, who has been in a happy steady relationship for 10 years, with the same man, is happily married, and now has four kids can get, well, […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 16

SugarBabe Natalie shares a fun project she’s thankful for. I like to do “projects” with my girls. However, they are young. I have a 4 year old and two 2 year olds. Since they are so young, sometimes when I am planning projects or searching Pinterest, I have to file ideas away for future use. […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 15

SugarBabe Steph shares her gratitude for running. Three years ago, I could have never run a block, let alone two miles. See, I picked up smoking again and then developed severe asthma. A horrifying trip to the ER after I spent the weekend unable to breathe, a half day of testing, and many doctor appointments—I […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 14

SugarBabe Brook shares how thankful she is for friends. I am so thankful for friends! Let me just start by admitting that I am not the easiest person to be friends with. I lean heavily towards solitude, mostly because it’s easier for me. I don’t call enough, I forget birthdays sometimes, and I don’t always […]

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 13

SugarBabe Jacinda shares her gratitude for being a parent helper at school. Last week I had the opportunity to chaperon my daughter’s school camp. The kids were all aged between nine and eleven. I spent 3 days/2 nights with 70 students and a dozen other parents/teachers, and honestly, I came away as buzzed about it […]
