Back when I was working in an office, I would consider my day successful if I got through all the editing that needed to be done, did some writing and was still able to get home in time to spend some time with the little guy before he had to eat and go to bed. These days, my checklist for success is a little different.
Did I get dressed before 5 p.m.?
Did I eat a breakfast and lunch that consisted of more than chips and/or cookies?
Did the little guy and I get through the day without any major meltdowns?
Did the little guy go down for a nap at a decent time with little or no fussing?
Did I get a couple hours of work done?
If I'm able to answer yes to all these questions, then it's been a good day. Today, the answers are all yes (I'm wearing sweatpants, but that counts as getting "dressed" these days). Bonus: The house is still reasonably clean after cleaning over the weekend.
Also, the little guy deserves big props since he was content to watch Dora the Explorer while I had to be on a work phone call for an hour. I'm a lucky mommy.

Several people have recommended your blog and thought you might be able to help. We have a site that caters to moms. It allows them to store digital memories and then release them to their kids in the future. We are still in the “testing” phase and wanted to see if your readers would like to participate and get a complimentary membership.
We would appreciate if you could do a blog post and/or social media mention, informing them they can visit www.kairoslife.com to register their email address.
From there we will update them when we are ready to start testing the site. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
