Danielle Bean says, "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) I set up our new printer & it actually works!!! YAY!!!!!!! (Our old one wouldn't play w/ our new computer, so we've been w/out for the past couple months.)
2) I got the house in order for The Saint's birthday party on Friday an hour BEFORE guests arrived. This is a BIG accomplishment for me...usually I'm scrambling to put away those last minute things. BONUS: I mowed the lawn that morning, too!
3) I've stuck to our four week meal plan. What made it easy was to plan the shopping list weekly instead of longer. Keeping it simple makes it less overwhelming.

Congratulations on #2. I hate planning and preparing for birthday parties (and would avoid them if Kansas Dad didn't offer lots of help and encouragement), but it's so wonderful to celebrate the kids and enjoy having company!
All three of these would be huge for me. Menus are especially challenging. I'm not sure why, but they are.
Good job!
I love the book binding picture.

I hear you on parties too. Thank goodness for family and friends to help support us!!
Blessings!
Oh - and LOVE your month long meal plan!!! I'd love your tips? Did I miss a post about it? I remember vaguely, but did you tell us how you did it? LOL
It's so true about having a plan making life simpler. I'm always stunned that simply writing it down makes it happen.
Thanks for all your comments, ladies!
ViolinMama - I think I just mentioned in a previous Small Successes post that I had made up the plan. It's nothing fancy. I just took a blank calendar page & wrote the main dish for four weeks of dinners, spacing things out so we don't have chicken several days in a row, or pasta, etc. If I get a chance, I'll post it soon.
Congratulations on these fantastic successes!
