"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 cooked my husband a birthday dinner complete with rhubarb pie for dessert and he felt loved.

2. I managed to get to stations of the cross with Mary this week with my 8-month-old in tow.

3. I kept the sap pan filled and the fire going for cooking it down while my husband was away at work.

What are your successes this week? This is a great exercise in holding ourselves accountable and patting ourselves on the back. Mothering and homemaking don't have built in performance reviews and bonuses. The internet can be a source of support and encouragement. Let's encourage one another in our small successes.
