Small Successes-July 22nd

FaithButton
Celebrating the little things in life that add up.

1. I managed to pull Ellie's birthday party together in two days.  The invitations half of them had been sent out a couple weeks before, but I didn't really have much of a plan for the party itself.  Party planning took a backseat to VBS so I was left with a couple days to pull everything together.  Overall the party turned out really well and Ellie was happy.

2. I made the in-laws happy when I brought the kids to their house for a visit on Tuesday.  We didn't stay long because the girls and I had a burial to attend for my uncle that day, but I visited them.

3. Despite having a week where life still refuses to slow down to a relaxing pace, I have managed to keep up with the laundry pretty well.  I have some that needs to be folded and a little that needs to be washed, but the important part is that I do not have any wild and out of control piles of laundry that either need to be washed or folded.  I can deal with manageable piles.

  1. I hear you on #3, and how sweet of you to visit the inlaws. I need to do that more often with my own parents....

    Blessings to you, and as always - love what you write!
