Ten Things to Smile about is a monthly meme I started after a rough month where I knew I needed to look back and find something good. So look back and find ten things, everything from a pretty sunset, to something you accomplished, to a something you bought-- anything that made you smile. Would love for you all to play along. The linky will be open for a week and a half, so plenty of time to link up.
Ten Things to Smile About January
1. Getting Knott's Berry Farm Season passes (we have already gone 4 times since getting them!)
And the first time we went I got to see my bestie CA Girl!!
2. Starting Heartfelt Acts with Janette to help us get out and serve and help others more-- swing by her blog and wish her a happy birthday today!! And I will be recapping January's service experiences tomorrow.
3. This picture (for the upcoming Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet-- more about that next month)
4. Spending a day with amazing women remembering why motherhood really matters
5. Watching Alex react to her first loose tooth
6. My kids "spreading the cheese"
7. The fact that I have actually kept one of my goals and have planed a menu every week and made a cute menu planner
8. My little monkey jumping on the bed
9. Surviving a "bitterly-cold" week only for it to become the way SoCal winters should be again and spending our days at the park
10. My kids and the silly things they are always doing that just make me smile

Since it is Tuesday I am linking up with some other great Tuesday meme's. IA and Shawn's Talk to Us Tuesday and Stacy Uncorked's Random Tuesday
Spreading the cheese still makes me laugh and I am making a menu planner this weekend for sure!
ReplyDeleteI love your little monkey jumping on the bed!
ReplyDeleteAwesome things to smile about! I love the blue and gold banquet picture! And I want season passes to Knott's Berry Farm!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! The wiggly tooth picture is so cute, and I love your menu planning board!
ReplyDeleteIt's been years since I've been to Knott's Berry Farm! How cool you have season passes - those are going to be awesome memories to last a lifetime! :) Love all your smiley moments - I really need to remember to participate next month! :) Thanks for linking up for RTT! :)

Those really are good things! Some big, some small...as it should be. So fun! I'll probably link up tomorrow. Still trying to catch up on the birthday pics of Madeline.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteLooks like motherhood has you more than smiling.
Your kids always make me smile. They're such cuties! Yay, glad the meal planner worked out for you. I love having the menu to refer to during the week or before going grocery shopping.
ReplyDeleteYou always have so much to smile about! I love it :D
ReplyDeleteAll of these pictures are great and it looks like your daughter is planking, hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI totally need to catch up on your blog!!! Time management! I want season tickets to Knott's! Alex and Ryan both lost teeth. Yay. I love your pictures. :) SQUIRREL!
ReplyDeleteOh such fun things, but yeah I would say the spreading the cheese is great :)
ReplyDeleteYou've done quite a bit! My seven year old is finally starting to lose teeth and it's all he's talking about. Headed over to her site now to say happy birthday!
ReplyDeletelove your weekly meal planner!
ReplyDeleteBitter cold.. LOL! Want to trade locations for a few days? I could really use some sun and warm weather for a change.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post has to be the jumping on the bed one. I love those pictures.
I absolutely LOVE that pic of your big-eyed baby boy! He's so adorable!! Spreading the cheese? Is that anything like cutting the cheese? LOL! I also love the menu idea. When do you eat left-overs? I have a couple of those days every week but your family is bigger than mine.
ReplyDeleteIt's still my favorite meme. And I MUST check out what exactly you and J are doing!
love the meal planner idea
ReplyDeleteDefinitely some great things to smile about. I remember going to Knotts when I was little, I used to love it. How fun that you have season passes!
ReplyDeleteAww Ryder is so cute in that close up photo!
ReplyDeleteLook at you, smack dab in the middle of the photo of so many amazing Moms - love it! And love the menu board. I do one in my head and do all my shopping at the beginning of the week but that would be great to head off questions from my hubby and my oldest of "what's for dinner?" ;)
ReplyDeleteYour list made me smile. Your kids are darling! I am so glad you are my friend.
ReplyDeleteMy son does his homework sprawled out on the floor and half on a chair. I ask him why he doesn't use his desk and he said "I can't think there."
ReplyDeleteI am super impressed that you stuck with the menu planning for a month. I can't last a week! I need to catch up on all your goodness - it's been a crazy month. Thank you for always hosting.
