Small Successes

Another blog that I follow is Multiples and More, a site for moms of twins, triplets, or more. Today they discussed celebrating small successes in life instead of focusing on what didn't get done. I love this idea because I feel like I only ever get small things done, and maybe I'll feel better if I pat myself on the back about doing so:)


So here is my list of 5 small successes for the week. I'd love to hear yours too!

Megan's List of "Tiny" Accomplishments (in our house, our kids love the word tiny)

1. I tried a new recipe for pumpkin crumble, and it was well received both those wearing bibs, and those without.

2. I sorted through clothes that have been piling up for months in the kids' closet making consignment, garage sale, giveaway, and save for Allie bins.

----I'm pausing for a few minutes while I rack my brain...

3. I wrote out thank you cards for Allie's party.

4. I came up with a gift idea for all of the children on our Christmas list (all 16 of them!)

5. I mastered a plan for keeping Allie as clean as possible in the van knowing that she will get car sick.

That was harder than I thought!

I hope your weekend was a great one!

3 Down, 3 to Go

The Stomach Bug versus the Williams Family...right now the score is tied at 3 a piece. Eli, Matt, and I are looking at each other wondering which one of us is the next to fall victim!!!

Actually the kids are doing okay considering. They are eating and playing almost like normal. Brady ate a great breakfast and promptly threw up. After a few seconds he told Matt, "Daddy clean it up!!??!" Then he went about his day. My dear husband did great this morning, as always, even with a few sick children. I found some great deals at some garage sales and enjoyed a quiet lunch at Panera Bread (yummy yum).

We were looking forward to maybe going to a parade tonight and to church tomorrow. But alas, the health status of my 4 children dictates our plans once again. Looks like we are going to stay put and try and get rid of what ails us!

Some exciting news: I wrote an article for a blog called Multiples and More and am featured there today. You can CLICK HERE to read it! I'm feeling a little like Angela Lansbury hunched over my type writer these days, but I truly enjoying writing!
