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 bought a large basket of strawberries at our corner produce stand and made 75% of it into our first strawberry jam of the year (the other 25% being eaten, of course).  That jam was good.  So good.  Good on bread, good with peanut butter, good on ice cream… Mmm….

2) I made significant progress on an ongoing project and no longer feel like it will never be finished.

3) This one goes to Haus Meister.  He spent part of the weekend weeding out most of the front flowerbeds.  Our front walk has never looked better!  He also made trellises for and planted three blackberry bushes in our side yard.  Huzzah!
