From Lauren:
Number 28 made me smile. It IS an accomplishment for yall not to argue during game time at youth group! Love it. Love YOU. Can we make plans soon? Wanna see Allo’s play on Saturday?
From Emily Jane:
Yay for life’s blessings :)
From laura:
I love this idea. It’s hard not to be encouraged when you can look back on all the wonderful blessing just in the past month. I’m thinking of doing this for May. Thanks for the inspiration.
From Marlena:
This IS a great idea. I think I’ll give it a shot for May. And I am very happy to be a part of #16.
P.S. If you want to finish your desk before baby Meredith makes her grand entrance, just let me know. OR if you need / want help with her room too.
From Cait:
This is such a wonderful idea! I usually list some good things in my life on a weekly basis, but I like the idea of one per day.
From Nora:
I love this list! It’s a fabulous idea and i love that you shared it with us.
Glad Cleo is home and that all is going well for you! Here’s hoping May rocks just as much (oh, and hooray third trimester!) <3
From Amber:
Yay for “great things” lists! Isn’t it wonderful to look back on your month and see what you got to enjoy?
From Brittney:
This is a really cute idea – just a simple, easy way to sort of take a positive stock in the day to day. I might have to nab it! :)
