If I'm not off hiding somewhere with a good book, chances are I'm chasing a kid or a dog or sleeping, because every mom can use a nap! I found Prince Charming and married him, and now we enjoy the idiosyncrasies of life in an old farmhouse. Oh yeah, and we root for the Buckeyes. Every time.
1. Though I have mentioned it on Twitter, I have not officially complained about a certain two-year-old’s magnetism for mud. I have resolved, instead, to hold off on potty training until mud season is over, because I can only handle so many outfit changes an hour.
2. I have wanted to give up on a certain Lenten project, but I haven’t. I have also wanted to do more (you know, because I can never do enough), but I haven’t. Instead, I’ve been holding steady, offering my small failures to God as a little gift of humility and taking the graces as a sign of love.
3. Tonight is leftover night, because I’ve been cooking this week (not with a plan, mind you, but still).
You’ll find more small successes today, as you will every Thursday, at Faith & Family Live.

I love #2…I’d call that one a pretty big success! Letting go, embracing humility…God bless you!

I’d say your biggest success of all is in a patient attitude it sounds like. God Bless.
