Go Green

So day #5 in my 101 ways book is called "Celebrating the Little Things." This could not have fallen on a more appropriate day then St. Patty's Day, or as Keagan so confidently corrected me this morning, St Potty's Day, since this day is known for celebrating. We may not have enjoyed our day with green beer or a night out at an Irish Pub but.... as the book says, a family should get into the habit of celebrating the little things in life such as the first snow of the season, the last day of school, etc...

So we went out and celebrated in honor of our famous "Green" day-Our green grass on a gorgeous 70 degree day. The green on the trees as the little leaves start to sprout, the green marshmallows in our lucky charms, and pointing out how many green cars we saw on the road on our way home.

I thought the tip to celebrate the small things was a great idea. Doing fun little cheap things like having a picnic by the fireplace during a storm or handing out Hershey kisses to the family at dinner time, just because you love them, is the perfect way to find joy in the unexpected places.
