Well, after pondering Pastor Eddie's sermon Sunday I decided to I needed to be quick to be thankful for ALL things. (This was a main point wasn't it? I hope I wasn't too distracted while in church!) One thing that I have longed for over and over was a bigger kitchen. My kitchen is 8 X 8. What you see in the pictures is what it is...counter tops, cabinets, appliances and all. I like to cook (soup, salad, sandwiches are my thing!) and could use a little more room. But, I really am thankful for my small kitchen. Here are a few reasons why...***If I ever wanted to remodel I could put in granite counter tops, it wouldn't be too expensive!
***Not much to clean! One Magic Eraser will clean ALL surfaces without crumbling to nothing! (For more information on the magic of the Magic Eraser, check out my blog on Product Endorsement)
***Saves me money at Pampered Chef parties because I have no more cabinet space to store anymore stones!!
***Easy to change decor just by buying a new rug and hand towel at the Dollar General Store. (If you have never shopped for home decor stuff at Dollar General you are missing out!)
***Clean up is a snap. A 7 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old pretty much have it down.
Yes, I am very thankful for my kitchen! Best of all is that the kitchen is open to the dining room, living room and family room. It makes a complete circle so the kids can run laps through the house. That may not sound like the best idea but it sure is entertaining until they come barreling around the corner and find the dishwasher opened!
So remember there is always something to be thankful for!

I am so impressed, Cindy! I have been in your kitchen, and it is the most efficient 8x8 kitchen I have ever seen!
*LOL* I can totally relate to the dishwasher thing. My kids do the same thing. We have a "loop" (kitchen, living room, hallway, dining room) that they run loops in.
We are waiting right now for our insurance money from the hurricane last year to redo the damage in our kitchen. Granite countertops, here I come!
Thanks for the reminder to be thankful and content.
