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!
I am an author and domestic engineer enjoying unbounded domesticity with the husband of my dreams, three fine brave rascally knight errants, seven lovely princesses-in-training, twelve chickens, an indoor cat, and an outdoor cat. And bees, coming soon.

Wow! The strawberry jam sounds amazing! And congratulations on #2, I love it when that happens. 🙂
I always talk about making jam and I never do. You’ve inspired me :). Good good work!
