Celebrate the Small Things


It's time once again to give a shout out to all the small but wonderful things in our lives. Many thanks to our host, Lexa Cain, as well as her co-hosts: L.G. Keltner and Tonya Drecker!

1. I enjoyed the heck out of watching Mary Poppins (twice), but am ready to resume my normal schedule where I don't have to yell at my daughter to "hurry up, hurry up, you'll miss warm-ups!" every day.

(My kid is one of the white shirts on the back row, left side. She's the one with the black bow tie.)

2. My cat Dove. She's a source of constant amusement. Nothing helps us de-stress more than a cuddle with this sweet girl.



"I'm an excellent driver!"
(Let's not tell her that curved piece of plastic is the sink faucet, shall we?)




You have a tea party to attend, Madeline Hatter? Saddle me up!




Does this cat tube make me look fat?


3. The A to Z blog challenge starts tomorrow. Are you participating? I finalized my list of conspiracy theories on Monday, started putting posts together on Tuesday. Why, oh why, didn't I start earlier?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Rocko would never let me strap a saddle to her back. Hobbes would've because shaking it off would've required effort.

  6. All great things to celebrate! Your A-Z theme sounds intriguing! Brave you to enter into such a challenge. I'll be so curious to see your posts. How fun for your daughter to be in Mary Poppins. From the picture, it looks like it was a stellar production. Hugs to your cat. He (she?) is a kick from these pictures.

  7. I wish I could participate in the A-Z but I'm came to terms with the fact I'm TERRIBLE at blog features and challenges :)

    Glad to hear you enjoyed Mary Poppins! But I hear you about the beauty of resuming a normal schedule. That's how I felt after my daughter was done with her performance at the nutcracker!

I will do everything in my power to visit commenter's blogs unless I've been abducted by aliens or my children get sick. (If my children get abducted by aliens, I will be very busy, of course, catching up on my sleep.)
