A very special spot – Gratitude

This week-end, I’m grateful…

About Yanic A.

Hello to all of you and thank you for stopping by! My name is Yanic. I'm a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother of 2 beautifully complex and unique children and a lover of all things inspiring. Having started a personal journey of self discovery when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago, I've since embraced a daily life of simpler pleasures and gratitude. As we get to know each other, you will know me as a quilter, a gardener, a Tao cultivator, a vegetarian foodie, a true believer in a healthy family life as being the secret to my happiness and hopefully as time goes on, a friend... I will try to share with you my days as they unfold, speaking of my happy successes without censoring my challenges, trying to make this blog a true portrait of the ever-changing path that I have chosen for myself. I'm hoping to find in these pages others to share with and learn from, bringing to light the absolute connection in all things and people, showing this world as being a true community.

  1. A beautiful list of gratitude. Looks like a lovely nature walk. We have been enjoying some very crisp autumn like weather this weekend and it has been so lovely.

      Same here, even a few flurries last night, leaving a dusting on everything this morning for a few hours. Little Miss keeps referring to the air as “clean”… Such a wonderful time of year.

      Wishing you a lovely week dear friend! xo

      Thank you Sally… Luckily for us, this nature reserve is opened year round. We get to enjoy it in every season. I look forward to going back with the kids. It’s super kid friendly with flat trails. Great for a little man finding his footing. xo
