Don’t count the days, make the days count. ~ Muhammad Ali
It was another month full of many many reasons to smile:
1st – A friend that goes (comes) the distance… literally. Thanks for a lovely play date, Sally.
2nd – Lucas slept in his big boy bed for the first time!
3rd – Family visitors. No, really!
4th – Disneyland fun and a toddler that was on his most excellent behavior.
5th – A relaxing visit to the nail salon with my sister-in-law and nieces.
6th – Lucas turns 22 months… where’s the pause button?
7th – A visit with my dear friend, Suzy who I wish I saw more often.
8th – The sun was out just long enough for some outdoor play.
9th – Pizza. Funny how this favorite ends up on every one of my Project Smile lists!
10th – A nice long walk to clear my head and just breathe.
11th – Legoland – just the two of us.
12th – A couple of hours at the hair salon and a new opportunity!
13th- A sick baby means a day spent in pjs in front of the TV.
14th – Helping out a friend with her children while her husband is away on business.
15th – Mother/son lunch dates, a visit with the Easter Bunny #1 and a slew of new Spring clothes from Gymboree (for once I remembered to use my coupons!!).
16th – A long car ride with a quiet tot. Bliss!
17th – Meeting and riding Thomas the Train followed by an adults only lunch at The Ivy. Thanks, aunt Leah!
18th – Meeting Easter Bunny #2, decorating cookies, an egg hunt and a train ride.
19th – A super productive day that had nothing to do with laundry.
20th – A night out on the town.
21th – I got myself a job (of sorts)! More on this later…
22nd – Bounce house play date in our backyard, 90 minutes on the treadmill, girl’s night out and trying out a new restaurant.
23rd – A toddler-free weekend… lunch with good friends and their babies, a movie in the theater and having the house to myself.
24th – Easter blessings and chocolate yumminess.
25th – Staying in touch with friends from high school and seeing our children play together.
26th – A guest post on Four Plus an Angel that I am very proud of. Thanks, again for having me, Jessica.
27th – Catching up with my husband over margaritas on a date night.
28th – Spending some time alone with my sister.
29th – Housekeepers. Love me the smell of Pine-sol and Windex.
30th – A good old fashioned PB&J with a glass of milk. And no, this wasn’t Lucas’ lunch, it was mine!

That stacks up to be a pretty spectacular month! Disneyland, Thomas the Train… TODDLER-FREE WEEKEND!!!! My April was made amazing by our incredible family trip to France.
It's awesome to break down all the small moments into one post. Really makes you see how beautiful life is :-)Have a great month ahead.
What a sweet list and I'm happy to see that I'm on it a couple times. You and Lucas are definitely always on mine. : ) XOXO See you in a few hours!
You had so many smile-worthy moments and exciting things going on in your life in the past month! Congratulations on the new job! And if I find the pause button for life, I'll hand it over to you when I'm done with it. I could use a pause button myself. And yay for productive days that have nothing to do with laundry! 🙂
Lots of good things on that list including the toddler free weekend. And your guest post at Four Plus an Angel was very good.
What made me happy this month is that my little one is going to bed at 7pm! But it made me a little sad too because I love holding her!
yay for margaritas and date night!
Love your list. I started to do this for April and then lost track. Happy things are good.
