Small Successes-November 18th

Celebrating the little things in life that add up.

I'm not feeling too remarkably successful this week.  Bryan's grandmother is in the hospital and we suspect that she's nearing the end.  Ellie has been sick since Sunday, maybe even Saturday.  And I have been trudging through the week as best I can.

1. I went to the parent-teacher conference at Madeline's school yesterday.  I came home with Madeline's first ever straight A report card.  I'm so proud of her.  I know this isn't really my success, but I do help and support her at home with school work.

2. Thanks to my parents, I got a good chunk of my Christmas shopping done.  They were kind enough to pick up various items for me over the past week while they were out doing their shopping.  I'm inching closer to having all of my shopping done.

3. I ordered my Christmas cards and stamps this week.  I had been meaning to do this last month but life moves fast sometimes and I simply never found the time to get it done.

Bonus: I finally got around to writing up a book giveaway post that I had been meaning to do for a few weeks.  If you're interested in winning a copy of The Catholic Homeschool Companion be sure to check out the giveaway.
