Small Successes vol. 24

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 flew to Texas, attended a conference, and then got back home again just as my family was beginning to miss me.

2. I caught up the laundry upon my return.

3. Fifteen years ago today, I married the awesomest man I ever met. And after all this time, he still puts up with my antics and still let’s me give him embarrassing smooches in the kitchen.

Now you share your successes please! I really look forward to hearing all the big and small ways you’ve found success during the week. Thanks for participating!

Congratulations!!! That’s a HUGE success!

 

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bean!  I’ll tell you a secret.  I still smooch my husband in the kitchen, after 27 years no less!
My successes this week:
1-Packed up the son and got him off to Aruba without having a meltdown.  A little background here. He is 16 and never been away from home for more than a few days.  He’s going to be away until next Tuesday. 
2-Packed myself and my husband up for our shore vacation without stressing. GEE wonder if it had to do with the fact that the 16 year old wasn’t around to bug…..ummmmm disturb me. 
3- Relaxed enough for the last two days to make up for the last very, extremely, stressful last few months.  (I know that isn’t proper English, but I don’t care LOL.) 9 more days to relax,  AhHHHHHHHHHh

 

Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Bean! Many blessings to you both, and here’s to the next fifteen years of life and love and kitchen kisses together - clink (I toasted you with my tea cup)!

 

Happy Anniversary, Danielle! We’re about to celebrate 10 years this November, and I cannot believe it has gone by so fast!
