10 Things to Smile About – May
Where did the month go? When I saw EmmyMom’s 10 Things to Smile About post, I thought it was just a reminder that the posts would be ready later. Nope. She already posted because it’s the END of May! What the what?!?
So. My 10 things to smile about this month…
1. I found out today that I was accidentally told the wrong amount of vacation I have to take this year. (Remember, this is still a fairly new job for me.) I had questioned it when I started, but then figured it was confusion. Today I asked someone different and she showed me that I actually have one week MORE than what I had thought/been told! Yay!
2. I made it through graduation! And graduation reception!
3. Biltmore excursion with my toddler. He had such a great time. And I’d like to relive that morning (just not the meltdown that happened as a result of a car nap and being exhausted.)
4. I never posted about this, but a few months ago I won tickets to see Mom’s Night Out. And the weekend it came out (the same weekend as graduation and Mother’s Day), I was able to take 5 other fabulous moms to the movie with me. We met for dinner and saw the movie afterwards. It was a cute movie! And a fun break away from the nightly bedtime routine.
5. I’ve actually completed a few projects this month, I just haven’t blogged them. I made cards for my grandma and our daycare provider (birthday/thank you cards.) Complete post to come soon!
6. I ran the Biltmore 15k and I’m feeling a tad better about running the half marathon next week (!!!)
7. Oh and running friends. I can always smile about running friends.
8. I discovered Norwex cleaning products. Normally this would sound a little weird, but it’s totally not. These products are amazing and I love, love, love them.
9. This weekend, I’m attending Blogging Concentrated, a one-day blog conference. I’m really excited about everything this day has to offer and all the new things I’ll learn (or re-learn!) I’m also excited about seeing a couple of my in-real-life and blogging friends!
10. Finally, my husband has been a freaking ROCK STAR in dealing with my less-than-stellar schedule this month. Next weekend, with my half marathon, it’ll be crazy again, but then it calms down. I’m just glad that he has been able to handle the kid-duty and hasn’t complained. He doesn’t get enough credit sometimes. š
What are you smiling about this month?
Sounds like you had a great month,As for me i think what has made me smile the most this month is my hubby and kids they are all great and i am so thankful for them everyday always giving me something to laugh/smile at.
What a great month for you! Great info sometimes it is good to reflect on the goodness that the month brings I need to do that more often. What I have to smile about? I am on a BILLBOARD! WHOA! LOL
I always enjoy your 10 Things to smile about blog posts. I’ve heard great things about Blogging Concentrated. I wish it would come to a city near me, I’d definitely attend.
Congrats on your 15K! That’s a tough one. And MORE vacation? That’s most excellent!
You sure do have a lot to smile about. And yay for running friends.
What a fun post! I got to see Mom’s Night Out too, a couple of months ago for a local premier. It’s such a great movie!!
I won tickets to see moms night out…….I loved love loved it…….. I can not wait to own it on video
Lots to smile about. š I turned 40 and had my first surprise party!
Finding out I have one more week of vacation would make me smile too. I’d probably jump up and down with excitement over it.
Great list of things to smile about. May really shot by me.
Wow a 15k!!! That’s impressive! Congratulations!
What a fabulous surprise to get another week of vacation time! Your Mom’s Night Out with the girls sounded fun!
Whoa! 15K? Way to go! Got a half marathon in you yet? I want to do a 15 K by years end.
I love Norwex cloths. They do such a great job ! Congrats on the 15k!
I tend to love every month of the year and keep a positive outlook in life. The month of May is another great time of my life. š
Sounds like a great May! I am smiling about the WEEKEND! š
Bonus vacation time would have defiantly made my month too! I hope you enjoy it!
I’m smiling about a lot this month! Mostly my kids – they keep me smiling always:)
I love these posts! You have so much to smile about!
Sounds like you had an amazing month. Don’t you just love it when you take the kiddos out and they have a great time. I’m planning more toddler time with my own toddler as well.
I like the idea of writing a list of happy things. I really should do this for the month of June.
Oh wow! Congrats on running your first 15K. Sounds like you had a great May! Hoping June is just as awesome for you.
Good for you that you have so many reasons to smile. Everyone needs to make a list like this.
This is awesome! You had a lot of great things to smile about. It’s great to do that every once in a while
You have a lot of wonderful things to smile about. And it sounds like a busy month. I am smiling about finally having my new kitchen after 3 very long months of remodeling. And I love it!
I like the idea of looking back on the month and reflecting on what was accomplished. I bet you were pretty excited to find out about the extra vacation time.
Fun post! I love your things to smile about series! That is awesome that you won the tickets to go see Mom’s Night Out. I’m dying to see it!!!!! It looks HILARIOUS!!
That’s a great list to smile about! Congrats on your 15k and a wonderful hubby!
Busy lady! I wish I had the athleticism to run a 5K! Great pictures!
Great things to be smiling about – especially the 15K! I just signed up for my very first Fun Run 5K and am excited!
Yay for more vacation that you thought! I still haven’t seen Mom’s Night Out. At this point, I think I have to wait for the dvd.
Good things! Yay for an awesome husband! Hope you had fun at the conference!
I haven’t seen Mom’s Night Out, but it looks cute! I love this post, I love to keep life positive.
I am smiling because I am starting to get caught up with things around the house. Feels so good to get caught up.
Yay for extra vacation time!!! I need to get in shape and run a 15k (or at least walk one lol)
All great things to smile about. I’m smiling this month that summer is here, school is ending and the family will be going on vacation!
How as the blogging conference? Hope you had a great time. Congrats on the 15K. Always so good to find out you have more vacation than you thought and not the other way around. So fun you won the Mom’s Night Out Tickets! Thank you so much for linking up
It is great to sit down and write a list of things to smile about. The world would be a better place if people took time to be happy instead of constantly complaining.
It’s crazy right? No way can May be over!?! I saw Mom’s Night Out at an early screening and loved it!
Great job on running the 15 K. I wish you luck with your marathon. I use to run but haven’t in a long time- you have inspired me to put on my sneakers today and run for 10 minutes! thanks.
Congrats on the Biltmore 15k!!! My dream is to one day get to the point where I can run a marathon. Hopefully, soon š
A 15k??? Go you!!! I also LOVE the Biltmore!!!
what a FUN list for you!! Summer is off to a great start for you!
