AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

As we head into Thanksgiving week, and we’re all making our travel plans, making our ultra-long grocery lists, and wiping down those baseboards (admit it, you are definitely doing that before your in-laws come over on Thursday), we are taking a pause to be intentional about having an attitude of gratitude.

It initially happened organically, just conversing in the kitchen at the Mothership about the blessings this year has brought, and we thought, ‘what a lovely way to put some positivity and perspective on what can feel like an overwhelming week!’ So, we asked our darling Double D family to share what they’re most thankful for in this season. Turns out – it’s mostly babies! Here are some of their responses and some precious pictures to put a smile on your face.

COURTNEY GREENER, MARKETING MANAGER
“Easiest year yet, I am the most grateful for Briggs!”

MACY BELTON, GRAPHIC DESIGNER
"I’m thankful for being able to join such a thoughtful and caring team of people here at Double D. In the short time I’ve been part of the team, I’ve already experienced the love and care everyone has for each other. I can’t wait to continue creating exciting new things to share with everyone in the Double D family!”

KRISTEN SCHLEY, DIRECTOR OF RETAIL SALES & CUSTOMER SERVICE
“I am grateful for my sweet husband, Travis. He has been so supportive of my crazy schedule and traveling. He is a wonderful husband and father to our sweet boys and I couldn’t do everything I do without him.”

CHERYL MCMULLEN, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
“No explanation needed!”

HEDY CARTER, PRODUCTION & SAMPLING
“I am thankful, of course, for my family and that they are all in good health. Thankful to be Presley's mom and follow her as she becomes this great human being right before my eyes. Thankful for mom.”

SEALY VEST, SALES REPRESENTATIVE
“I am thankful for my family ranging from 6 months to 91 years, Blessings surround me.”

AMANDA MONK, ACCOUNTING ASSOCIATE
“This year has been a great one! I hit my 1 year anniversary with DDR along with having my 2nd baby girl, Mary Jean. Here’s a pic of Agnes Rose (my 2 year old) and Mary Jean!”

DANI CASTILLO, ACCESSORIES DESIGNER
“The things I'm grateful for in the year 2024 are the opportunities God has placed in my path. New friendships, a wonderful new job, and new life changes that have forced me to learn more about myself at the age of 34.”

MITCHELL FRANZ, MARKETING
“I’m grateful for my marketing team! It takes a village, and we’ve built up a strong roster of talented individuals that allows everyone to shine in their strength.”

DORIS LOREDO, ACCOUNTING
“I am grateful this year that my sister and mother-in-law are in remission; for my father-in-law's remarkable checkups and for my two beautiful healthy granddaughters (Elena Doris Ann and Olivia Rose Marie) that I acquired in Jan 2024 and Oct 2024 to bring my grandchildren total to 9. God is so good.”

HALLEY SANFORD, MARKETING COPYWRITER
“At the risk of sounding trite, motherhood has been the biggest blessing – and challenge! – of my entire life, and my family is certainly the thing I’m most grateful for this year. I’m immensely thankful for my little Logan, my husband Colton, and first ‘son’, Tragen.”

KRISTIN KLIER, SENIOR DESIGNER
“I am thankful for God putting these boys in my life!”
