Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly celebration created by VikLit and now hosted by Lexa Cain to celebrate the happenings of the week, however small or large. You can learn all about it and sign up for it here.

It was -4 degrees (F.) this morning, and it’s supposed to be even colder over the weekend. Brrrrrrr! It sure feels like winter now. Celebrations this time around:

1. We had a great time visiting my parents and watching the Super Bowl last weekend. And the team my Dad and I were rooting for won!
2. I’ve “met” some interesting writers on the 2016 2K Indie Book Tour. The tour continues for the next two weeks with 8 more writers to meet!
3. My daughter participated in a Poetry Out Loud competition at school. She had to stand up in front of a lot of people and recite a poem from memory. She didn’t win, but she did a great job! I was impressed and proud of her for doing it and going so far out of her comfort zone since she’s generally very quiet and shy.

What other celebrations are going on out there?
