Celebrate the Small Stuff
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, March 05, 2009 6:01 AM
It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that.
To participate, just write up a list of 3 of your recent Small Successes and post it on your blog along with the Small Successes button (go here to get the code). You are not required to use the button, but please do link back to the main post here. Then you can add your blog here using the Mr. Linky form (please link to the individual blog post, not the home page of your blog).
If you don’t have a blog, you can share your Small Successes in the comments.
To get us started, here are my Small Successes for this week:
1. I finally sorted through Gabrielle’s overstuffed dresser drawers and filled a giant bag with clothing to give away. Never mind that the bag is still waiting to be dropped off. I’m saving that “small success” for next week. I like to spread out the success, okay?
2. I made homemade pretzels with the kids, even though I was tired and despite the inevitable flour mess I knew would coat my kitchen and dining room. I was rewarded with creative snacks—a pretzel flower, sunshine, cell phone, and ship anchor. And happy kids. You can’t beat that.
3. I have been sticking to an evening routine that makes it easier for my family to say the Rosary together each night—a Lenten goal we have been making good on. I plan to share more about family Rosaries in a later post.
Okay, now it’s your turn. I love reading yours each week. Thanks for participating!
