About This Grateful Girl
Hey there, I’m Tara! Welcome to my blog thisgratefulgirl.com! I’m a busy Mom of three awesome little dudes (Liam, Finn & Tate), and married to my main man, Nate. I enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts and inspiration; it centers me in a way. I always wanted to start a blog so I finally took that next step. I love style, design, fashion, crafts, music…the list goes on and on! I’m a certified barre3 instructor, a running enthusiast, I love being active, and believe in taking care of yourself.
Taking It Way Back
I was born at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st U.S. Airborne Division. My Dad was an Army pilot, so we moved around a bit, eventually making our way to upstate New York, which is where I call home. I went to college in Boston, MA, got married, settled down outside of the city, and have been making a new home for my family ever since.
Why the name “This Grateful Girl”?
I believe that no matter how rough a day can be, there’s always something to be grateful for, no matter how big or small. Don’t get me wrong, there are days I am pulling my hair out, whispering under my breath “Are you actually kidding me?!” But life’s not perfect, and that’s ok. No matter how old we are, we learn from our mistakes, we grow everyday. If there’s one thing in the entire universe that we have the ability to control, it’s how we allow ourselves to feel. We can be calm, we can be positive, we can rise above the curveballs life throws at us. We can be grateful for the good things we do have. Nobody can take your state of mind away from you. I hope to encourage this attitude throughout my posts as I write and share with you the many things I am passionate about in life. So thanks for reading along! I’m grateful to you for checking out my blog!
xo,
Tara
