21 graces is a list initiated by Jordy Liz, a fellow mom blogger. The idea is to list 3 small moments of grace in everyday routine, so by the end of the week we’ll have 21 of them. I think it is a great way to find joy and be thankful for little things that makes our day. It was kind of hard at first to recognise the little blessings in my life. So I cheated and this list is compiled over 2 weeks.

Anyhow, here it is:

1. Lauren woke Nick and I up by climbing over us.
2. Lauren flashing her toothless smile.
3. Mother’s Day.
4. Caught up with an old friend that I haven’t met for 6 years. 
5. My aunt’s friend who works at Heinz blessed us with many jars of baby food. We have enough to last till next year!
6. Nick did the weekly grocery shopping while baby Lauren and I were having our naps.
7. Nick looked after Lauren so I slept in till noon. Lauren was very fussy throughout the night.
8. A little bit of papaya worked wonders to relieve Lauren’s constipation this week. 
9. Found a nanny to look after Lauren while I workout every Monday and Thursday.
10. All flights and transfers were on time during my trip to Taipei.
11. 5 days of sisterly bonding time.
12. Kind and friendly people in Taiwan.
13. Cheap and yummy street food in Taipei.
14. Bought a pair of super slimming pants.
15. A free seat next to mine, so I can stretch and sleep better.
16. Attended my friend Wendy’s pot-luck birthday party. 
17. Another friend, Pam offered to drive me there.
18. Jenny offered to help me buy the ingredients for pot luck.
19. New pair of tights that looks slimming.
20. Booked tickets for niece and nephew to come visit.
21. Cuddles with hubby while watching tv.
