Celebrate The Small Things -- August 19


It's Friday and I'm Celebrating The Small Things!  The brainchild of ViklitCelebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where some bloggers have decided to post about something worth celebrating...no matter how big or small it is.


Today I'm celebrating...

  • my baby girl turned Sweet Sixteen! I can't believe how grown up she is already...seems like just yesterday that she was so itty bitty and fit perfectly in my arms.
  • my husband and kids! Having the party last weekend took a lot out of me, even thought I purposely tried to take it easy! I guess I did more than my body could handle, and I ended up pretty achy on Sunday and Monday. If it wasn't for my hubby and kids, things wouldn't have gotten done. They all helped with set up, clean up, food prep, taking care of Emmie (our dog and my bestie), and more stuff that I'm sure I just can't remember. That's one nice thing about having older kiddos...they can help!
  • acupuncture... Having an acupuncture treatment on Tuesday really helped my body recover from the weekend. I really love acupuncture...a lot. I've blogged about it many, many times. For anyone interested in reading more about my acupuncture adventures, just type 'acupuncture' in the search bar on the right.
  • Jim Gaffigan...When I'm not feeling well, I like to watch funny stuff on tv to help myself feel better. Gaffigan is, by far, my favorite comedian, and Netflix now has another two specials of his available to watch. If you are in need of a good laugh, check him out! For anyone who doesn't have Netflix, I will link his website here.





What are you celebrating?

    1. Thank you Tonja! I can't believe that she's so "old" :) Makes me feel like an old lady!

  2. Yay for the fun birthday celebration and double yay for your family helping you! I know acupuncture is helpful but I can't think about needles being stuck in me. I have a friend who gets "cupping" (hot glasses on skin) and she swears by it. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the comedy specials!

    1. I LOVE cupping! I have a set at home and my husband was instructed by my acupuncturist on how to use it on me. Acupuncture needles are so tiny...not like needles at all. Sounds scarier than it is...I promise!

  3. Happy Birthday to your daughter! Sweet 16 is special. It's so nice that your family helped you out with everything. That makes things extra-special. Glad the acupuncture helped you, too. Have a great week!

  4. Hey, my oldest is turning 16 in just over a month! Crazy times, right? How did this happen to us?

  5. My husband and I love Jim Gaffigan! We'll be sure to check out his new specials on Netflix. Thanks for posting that! I like that he and Brian Regan have clean jokes that the whole family can enjoy.

    I wish my youngest son could withstand acupuncture. He needs it for his broken foot that hasn't healed in 4 months. I'm glad it's working for you!

  7. Kids grow up so fast. It now seems so long ago that my own daughters turned 16 and now they're raising families of their own. Yes, they grow so fast.

  8. Hey! Our kids are the same age. (Somehow I'm thinking that's not a revelation.)

    You've convinced me. My poor hubby has been having major trauma since our car accident in April, and we've talked about Acupuncture as the last alternative, because doctors don't have anything to tell us. Frustrating, but I'm going to have to take your recommendation.
