I love this idea. I will think on it and write something, too. I was bracing myself for something bad to happen–things were going TOO well–and I was SO happy that only good happened!

I take my son on the bus to preschool, and he does love that. And we'll sometimes go what we call "the fancy way" to school after we get off the bus -- slight detours on the way. Or we'll jump over cracks or walk along the short concrete walls. So it's pretty fun already. But this morning... this morning there was a sewer truck working right near his school. So we stopped and watched for about 15 minutes. Even though I kept saying every few minutes that we'd need to leave in a little bit so that he could get to school and I could get to work, I really did want to stay to watch the whole time. And so we did. When the guys were done working, they came over to say hi and to talk to my son about what they were doing (how cool is that?). Then it was time for us all to say goodbye. Awesome way to start the morning. This morning was my good mom moment.

Yesterday I would have said I didn't have any good mom stories, but today I didn't yell once, went on an adventure walk, cuddled more, took my kids out for lunch for no reason other than to celebrate their awesomeness...and it was a great day...and I was a great mom.
