    THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE NEED TO BE CELEBRATED.

    Last week, I went to the grocery store with all 3 kids in tow! With Oliver being just a month old now, I have avoided running errands with all 3 kids under 4 for good reasons. But Thanksgiving was a coming and we needed some groceries. I packed everyone up (it only took about an hour 🙂 and made it out of the store alive, with groceries in hand and no meltdowns!

    This was cause to celebrate, I tell you. And since I've been giving most of my attention to baby O, I caved in a bought some doughnuts for my other two. Who knew a doughnut could bring so much happiness and make up for some of the lack of attention they've been getting?

    And let's be honest. I was going to celebrate right along with them! 

    IT GOT ME THINKING....

    I'm not saying that I am going to buy doughnuts every time we make it to the grocery store. But, maybe there are more small moments that we can celebrate with others to make life more meaningful.

    How about a promotion at work? Or a good grade on a test? Or a child finally getting potty trained? Or doing something really hard?

    HOW TO CELEBRATE THE LITTLE THINGS 

    You don't have to make a big deal, but sometimes just a little something out of the ordinary will make that small thing you're celebrating seem more special and memorable. There are lots of simple ways to celebrate the little things. Here's a few ideas:

    • Leave a note on the bed
    • Set a treat on their pillow
    • Go out for ice cream
    • Sprinkle jumbo confetti around their plate at dinner 
    • Buy a doughnut
    • Make a special dinner
    • Buy a new shirt
    • Get simple Hooray balloons
    • Get their favorite candy bar
    • Have a kitchen dance party
    • Scream Hip! Hip! Hooray as a family
    • Give extra hugs and kisses
    • Give a flower and congrats note

    Just remember: doughnut or not, celebrating something small can make you and someone else happy.

    Let's celebrate more small moments in our lives!
