I'm thankful for my husband who wakes me up with coffee every morning! Also for my son, Mylo, who is the best baby ever.
At the current moment, I'm thankful for the plate of pumpkin pancakes and veggie sausage that I just devoured...
Rain outside the windows, central heating inside them, my smelly but staunchly loyal puppy at my feet, and my brave and compassionate baby-now-17-year old sleeping the sleep of boys with big dreams and a lifetime ahead to achieve them.
I'm thankful for my wife and for finally having a job.
I love Cake Wrecks, always makes me smile. I am so thankful for God, without His grace I am nothing. Blessed with a loving family, in laws that I adore, and a husband I fall more in love with every day, even after 14 years!
That's easy, I'm thankful for my two wonderful children, and my terrific husband (who will be home from Afghanistan in 15 days)
I'm thankful that my sweetie is coming home tomorrow for two days before leaving for another 4 month work assignment. We're going to have Thanksgiving dinner early! And watch Firefly.... I'm so thankful for Joss Whedon.
The rose bucket cake is absolutely gorgeous. I'd ask for one, but I'd probably end up submitting what I got as a wreck. :)
Since I spent Thanksgiving two years ago in the ER for unknown reasons and last Thanksgiving I was recovering from cancer, this Thanksgiving I am thankful for my health. I am also thankful that I will be able to actually eat a thanksgiving dinner!
I've got 5 "little things" I'm grateful for, Greg, KD, Sarah, Troy and Chris. I'm also thankful for a great husband.
I am thankful for my children.... And I am also thankful for 7:30 PM, when they go to bed and I get a little peace and quiet:)
I'm thankful for my job in a fun, friendly office where I can make lots of silly noises.
I'm thankful that my sister is still alive. :) Not a "little thing", but it's what I'm most thankful for this year.
I am grateful that I will see my family in Africa very soon for Christmas - it's been a long five years!
I'm thankful for blogs like yours, which can always be guaranteed to make me smile
I'm thankful for my family and friends. They're the best!
I'm thankful for my hubby who takes good care of me and our 2 (almost 3) kids. =)
I'll go with... Facebook. How it makes possible to share ideas with others, to keep up with faraway friends and relatives, to widen your perspectives through discussions with complete strangers - as well as everyone you ever met and bonded with :)
Coffee. I am grateful for coffee.
I am grateful that although my Husband passed away almost 7 years ago, he still watches over me and his 4 little Princesses (11,9,8 & 6) every day! They remind me daily of him, and I try to remind them of all he did for us as well. I can't wait for us to all be together again!
I am thankful my 7 month old daughter has begun sleeping through the night. Finally.
New book by a favorite author.
I am thankful for a place to live and food to eat.
I am thankful for this amazing and hilariously insightful blog that I can go to for inspiration and comedic relief!!!!
I am thankful for "creative" bakers who keep me entertained at work and through boring classes. :)

I really hoped you actually stuck to the lyrics, but it was fun to sing to anyway
I'm thankful for my two little boys who give me their smiles & hugs and my husband who is a solid, loving partner and father.
So much to be thankful for! Most obviously, the little faces sitting at my table every day!
I am thankful (and ecstatic) any time I get to come home to dinner already made for me and a clean house...
I am thankful for the 2 little kitties we are going to rescue soon!
However I am sorry we lost our own kitty this year. :-(
I'm thankful for my three little dollies, but even more thankful for their daddy!
I'm thankful for a day when I don't have a sick child. I'm thankful for a child that loves to give me a hug and a kiss when I walk out the door. I'm grateful for my children and the joy they bring to my life.
One of the little things? My heated mattress pad, with its "pre-heat" setting. Nothing like crawling right into an already-warm bed at night.
I am grateful for family. My little family as well as my extended family.
I think the "colorful house" is supposed to represent the house from Pixar's Up.
I am thankful for how close I am with my family. Few graduate students are as excited as I am to go home and have Thanksgiving with my family. Three more days!!
I'm grateful for being able to go home to my family in New York for Thanksgiving weekend and spending time with so many people that I don't get to see nearly enough. =]
I'm thankful for CW as always, but I'm even more thankful for the husband being safe on his deployment, and that soon he will be home! I'm thankful for the people who are kind to me while he is so far away and while we are so much alone. <3
I'm thankful there are so many things to be thankful for... but right now, I'm thankful for chicken flavored pill pockets, which let me effortlessly give my cat a pill every day -- without needing a blood transfusion afterwards -- and have given my kitty a chance at many more happy years.
I'm thankful that my children are happy and healthy. And for all the help that our family has given us during this complicated year.
For a wonderful family, new grandbaby, and living in the most wonderful place I could've ever thought of, and all the wonderful friends we have made here. So much to be grateful for, I couldn't even begin to list them all. I really, really enjoyed today's post.
A working faucet in our 2nd bathroom (we just replaced it).
Friday night I took my mom to the hospital because she was vomiting blood. I'm thankful that my mom is going to be ok. She had a bleeding ulcer that was resolved during the procedure that diagnosed it. I'm thankful that my kids are going to continue to have their grandma with them.
I'm thankful that after my job was cut this spring, I landed at a great workplace with wonderful coworkers. I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but I'm so thankful that I finally feel like I belong there!
I'm thankful for my local library system for providing me with lots of good books to read for free, even if I do have to give them back. I'm thankful that my husband has a job again and we should see money coming in. I'm thankful that all my current problems are temporary and fleeting.
And I'm thankful for a husband who understands the importance of chocolate.
I am Thankful for wonderful family and friends! (and that my car will be paid off next month! what a Christmas present!)
I'm most thankful for my family and friends. Especially my sweet kitten who I will celebrate 1 year of having on New Years!
In the spirit of CakeWrecks, I'm thankful for my KitchenAid stand mixer! Being a community college instructor, I indoctrinate all my classes into the CakeWrecks fan club!
I am thankful for a lot of things, so here's a couple:
-My family and friends
-My two dogs for making every day more fun
-Food (especially our turkey dinner!)
-And Cake Wrecks for brightening every morning. It makes me laugh, want to barf, and even go to the store to submit the cakes there!
