"It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that."<br /><ol><li><div style="text-align: left;">Invested a few hours to check out options to rent or lease a piano for our nine-year old daughter who is starting piano lessons. Found place on the south side of city with reasonable rates. Hubby took an afternoon off work and we headed in, did the paperwork and bought home a full-size digital piano. She is delighted!!! </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a _mce_href="http://nadiarhodes.typepad.com/.a/6a0148c72ea580970c0147e3a544d0970b-pi" _mce_style="display: inline;" href="http://nadiarhodes.typepad.com/.a/6a0148c72ea580970c0147e3a544d0970b-pi" style="display: inline; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img _mce_src="http://nadiarhodes.typepad.com/.a/6a0148c72ea580970c0147e3a544d0970b-800wi" alt="March 30 2011 029" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a0148c72ea580970c0147e3a544d0970b image-full" height="300" src="http://nadiarhodes.typepad.com/.a/6a0148c72ea580970c0147e3a544d0970b-800wi" title="March 30 2011 029" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Littlest One practicing on her new Digital Piano</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></li><li style="text-align: justify;">Finished the free pre-blogging course and enrolled in Blogging 101. [I'm really having fun exploring catholic blogs that inspire me in my vocation as wife and mother and I'm REALLY enjoying working on my own blog. Maybe a little too much fun, 'cause I had to wrack my brain to come up with three successes this week...and one of them was connected to blogging!] </li><li style="text-align: justify;">Spending lots of time this week with kids who are on spring break and hubby, who has taken a few days off work. Spent an afternoon in city doing kid shopping errands. Checked out <a _mce_href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377981/" href="http://www.gnomeoandjuliet.com/" target="_blank">Gnomeo & Juliet</a> at the theatre. Cute! Hit the slopes at our local ski hill...gorgeous sunny day! Today the kids are setting up for an extended version of monopoly (this includes major snacks) and later we are checking out a new pool/rec center in the city when Dad gets of work this afternoon.. Tomorrow Dad is off and we are going to a 'major' sledding hill and then to see <a href="http://www.iwantcandy.com/">HOP!</a></li></ol> Bonus: Reconnected with a couple long-lost friends via email and spent time catching up!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3726667083502332433-4309828914025479117?l=mamatofive.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05486058754251347614noreply@blogger.com0
