Lil’ Bit hasn’t been feeling well (stuffy noses & nursing kids = no fun) which has caused me to get back to basics. Decluttering my day, so to speak. So without further ado, my small successes. 1. I’ve kept the kitchen clean for 2 days in a row–stove, counter, sink & all! 2. I’ve stuck […] Read more…

#1 – I’ve made sure to use up what we had in the fridge.    I made bread to use up leftover fruit and put extra in the freezer.   I made stir-fry to use up the veggies before they go bad.   I’m a notorious food waster :(. #2 – I cleaned up the kitchen yesterday, loaded […] Read more…

My small successes seem very selfish this week, but as Jen said, this isn’t a season to grit your teeth and get through, it’s a season to LIVE through.

I even stopped myself from going on wild bargain hunting expeditions. 2. I’ve successfully limited the amount of time on Craigslist to […] Read more…

Boy will it be tough to come up with 3 this week. 1. I didn’t scream AT anyone nor did I say all the mean & sarcastic things floating around in my head. 2. I told al what I needed with a bare minimum of tears (I hate to cry). 3. I made the less […] Read more…

Thanks to Danielle for starting this. Again, I need the kick in the tush :). – I managed to make DD my primary work MOST of the days this week while she was awake. – I cooked at home every day and have a plan for the rest of the week. – I put alarms […] Read more…

This is my first week participating in Small Successes and I need it this week! –1– I have been able to keep the needs of my daughter ahead of my desire to spend lots of time with my friends who are visiting from the Great White North. I’m sure they appreciate the family time, too […] Read more…
