Small Successes

"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."

1) Still working on the kitchen (it's taking a lot longer than I expected - basically I'm just plain lazy at times!) Anyway, I'm still keeping up on the dishes each night, cleared off most of the island (that is the worst part as we always just dump stuff there), & sorted through a stack of recipes that have been sitting by the fridge for months. Maybe I'll actually use some of them!

2) I created a five week meal plan (yes, I said five week & only 3 meals are doubled w/in that time). All seven days of the week are included & I even gave thought to the evenings we have plans (my Small Church Community gatherings every other Wed. & Cub Scouts on Thursdays). I planned stuff that Casinodad can't have (due to his GIRD) for nights that he works later. Now to create the shopping list - perhaps a success for next week?!?!

3) Finally started reading my newest book to review for The Catholic Company. My goal is to finish it w/in the next month, if not sooner!


What are your successes? Inquiring minds at Faith and Family Live would love to know!

Dear Muchesmom,
I found your blog through Faith and Family. You have a beautiful family.
Congrat's on the successes this week. Organization is always an ongoing battle. The meal plan idea is so great. I hope the shopping list comes together quickly.

That is the same problem we have! It's actually our raised breakfast bar. It is a continual fight to keep it clear. And it makes such a difference when it is.

Thanks so much for your comment on my post and especially for your prayers.

God bless!
