Recognizing those little successes can really make a big difference. That's why I participate in Faith & Family Live's Small Successes each Thursday. Here are my successes from the past week:
1) Finally organized the shelf at the bottom of the stairs. There were coloring books, crayons, markers, etc. all over the place & all jumbled about. Looks much better...for now, at least!
2) We met up w/ another homeschooling family at the park yesterday. We mothers sat, talked, & nursed our babies while the other kids played on the playground. This was the third time we've gotten together w/ our new friends & we had a wonderful time! The kids get along so well & we mothers never seem to run out of things to talk about.
3) I said, "Yes!" to The Princess several times this week when she wanted to help me out - even though it would slow down my progress. After all, how will she develop a love of cleaning & cooking if I never let her do anything!

Ooh number 3 is so hard but generally well worth it-- at least for the resulting story! My little guy is a big fan of unloading the dishwasher....
What a great list. Loved #2 - having friends is such a blessing in our busy days!!
I love reading about your life - you are so blessed! Have a fantastic weekend!!
M- good successes this week - I know how the art shelf is in our house: crazy! And I have a 6 yr old girl who loves to help, too. Every once in a while she helps by organizing said art shelf....LOL
I had a similar time with a homeschooling mom friend, and I'm glad for you. It shores a person up for the battle, doesn't it?
