Honestly, you already knew this, but we all occasionally need the reminder. It's the small things that really add up to big things. When you get that early morning workout in. When your kids get dressed for school without your prompting. When none of the crayons slip into the washer or dryer... all of it. It's just so refreshing to find sanity in those small things.

Introduction:
Lately, life has been all about the small things that keep us sane, those tiny victories that save us from running away to join the circus or Disney on Ice – wouldn't that be cool? Today, we're shining a spotlight on these unsung heroes, the minuscule victories that turn into big wins by the end of the day.

The Power of Small Wins:
In this episode, we explore the importance of the small things that make a huge difference in our daily lives, helping us keep it together – well, most of the time. Because let's face it, sometimes there's just no hope at all.

Listener Submissions:
We reached out to our amazing listeners and asked them about their small wins, and boy, did they deliver! Here are some of the gems they shared:

1. Exercising Before Kids Wake Up: The mythical "pre-dawn" victory of getting a workout in before the chaos ensues. The struggle to prepare stealthily is real, but the feeling of being wide awake when the kids wake up is unbeatable.
2. Neighborhood Synchronization: Living in a neighborhood with families of similar ages and trading services, creating a parenting alliance. It's not just a neighborhood; it's a support system that makes parenting a tad bit easier.
3. The Magic of Chocolate: One listener simply said, "Chocolate…" because sometimes, a little sweetness can turn the day around. Peanut butter enthusiasts can relate to this secret indulgence.
4. To-Do Lists with Deadlines: Writing to-do lists with deadlines based on priority, turning daily tasks into urgent missions. Crossing off tasks is not just a win; it's a testament to parental prowess.
5. Prepping for the Next Day: Getting things ready the night before, from outfits to lunches, creating a smoother morning routine.
6. Kids Turning Clothes Right Side Out: A listener's dream come true – kids turning their clothes right side out before tossing them into the hamper. Laundry enlightenment at its finest!
7. Costco Grocery Delivery and Time Affluence: Embracing modern conveniences like grocery delivery, monthly house cleaning, and telemedicine services as sanity savers. The holy trinity of parental survival!
8. Meal Planning: A shield against the 5 PM panic – meal planning as a way to stay organized, avoid grocery store impulse buys, and tackle the witching hour with a plan.
9. Gratitude Practices: A listener shared the power of gratitude practices in finding joy amidst the chaos of parenting. How does gratitude whisper in their ear during the never-ending laundry saga?
10. The Ultimate Life Hack: "My Wife": A humorous yet heartfelt acknowledgment that a wife is not just a life hack but the Swiss Army knife of marriage, seamlessly handling various aspects of family life.
11. Scheduled Chore Days: Some parents swear by scheduling specific days for certain chores. A parenting strategy that might be beyond the capabilities of others – do you schedule chores in your home?
