"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 missed you guys last week! It was crazy and filled with lots of ick! But I survived and this week has gone swimmingly. I have returned to the gym and have made dinner every single night.
However, we will NOT discuss the state of the laundry or clutter. Walk away from the clutter...walk.a.way.

I am trying to stay in the mindset of "being blessed" no matter what comes my way. I wrote about our incredible parish mission last week and a few of the gifts I received from those four nights.
I have done my B & B every day since. I am amazed at God's generosity.

I am getting ready for a big Once a Month Cooking Day. I will be making 16 different dishes ( I promise to chronicle this here). I decided not to do the whole 30 day plan because I do like to cook from scratch on the weekends. This way I have four meals for Mon-Thur which are my busiest days of the week.
My success is recognizing that I don't need to do the full 30. It's really OK to tailor the plan to me and my households needs.
Crazy idea I know!
Bonus:
Head on Over to sharethetable.com and download this fabulous pasta cookbook for FREE! It's filled with lots of yummy recipes that for the most part are pretty easy on the wallet and high on flavor.
Blessings and Grace.

Great successes! Especially #2. Sometimes it is so easy to be grumpy and have a bad attitude. I need to work on this one too. Yes, when we take the time to be grateful God blesses us indeed.
Great job! I've looked into the 30 day cooking before, but just can't bring myself to do it yet. Someday...
I'll have to check out your parish mission post later this afternoon. DH heard Fr. Larry Richards speak at our local men's conference last year & really enjoyed his talk.
You've had a very good week.
Can't wait to read all about this once a month cooking!
Great list this week! We missed you too!
I've never managed to do the whole freezer cooking thing any time other than when I'm very pregnant and nesting. I wish I could get more into it...those prepared meals are so nice when we have them in the freezer.
I love #2! Keeping a good mindset is sometimes very hard. I love the idea of making meals ahead and freezing them! I have wanted to do that but I don't have a freezer. I can't wait to read what you cook!
