For the past eight years I’ve kept a journal where every night I write the best part of my day. I love it - I can look back and remember happy moments, funny things the kids have said, see “oh, three years ago we were in Vegas!”, etc.
So what was the best part of your day today? For me, I spent a half hour browsing the bookstore, got some books for the boys, and a new pencil case for myself. I could happily spend a whole day wandering in the bookstore.

I do the one line a day book and love it!
Possibly the best part of my day is right now. I’m almost 39w along and getting sick, but dh is giving the kids a shower while I lie on the couch. It’s the little things!!

This is so cute!!! What a great idea that you keep those memories documented. I keep an agenda calendar thing and write what we do and funny / new things my kid says but it's not necessarily all positive things ("Rained all day, bit a kid at library storytime etc") lol.
The best part of my day was feeling my 16 week old baby boy(fetus) kick. I could feel it externally the tiniest tiniest bit. It was amazing and I needed it.

I got my first haircut almost 6 months PP and a keratin treatment and I just so desperately needed it. With postpartum hair loss, summer frizz, all my grays showing (I haven’t colored since October) and I’m on longish-term prednisone so I have puffy “moon face”, I was feeling really bad about myself. I feel really refreshed!

Sitting at dinner, which my husband made, with my 6 year old on my lap, making her laugh.

Riding the subway with my headphones in. I rarely get into manhattan anymore by myself. I love my alone time and I REALLY love alone time in nyc. I also never listen to music! So I got to zone out and people watch on the 5 train for a while. Weird, I know.

I got a 30 minute massage today.
We also had a professional come over and take furniture and items we don’t want to take with us to NY. Purging feels SO good.

Today was my first full day at my new job, and I really enjoyed myself.
I also was given an opportunity to attend a conference at the end of this month. So ecstatic

We took LO (2.5) to open play time at the gymnastics center today. She spent most of the hour on the trampoline track, and DH and I were in stitches watching her cast sideways glances at the instructors, making sure they were watching as she bounced past them. I love watching her interact with the world, and take pride in her "tricks".

I live in a zoo, and they were all asleep at once (even the bird, but she was in her cage)

I got to play with my son for about 2 hours today (pool, hose/sprinkler, shower) which is special bc he mostly plays with DH and doesn't want to do the things I want to do..... which is mainly water play

Well I have 11-day-old twins, a 4yo with coxsackie, and a husband with a fever (which is probably also coxsackie).
The best parts of my day today were:
1. Our pediatrician told me that even if I contract coxsackie, I can stay with my babies and keep nursing them. I have worked my ass off to establish a supply for twins and a nursing relationship with my girls, and I was so worried this might put it in jeopardy.
2. My girls have surpassed their birth weights, the pediatrician said I can increase their feed cycle from 3 hours to 4, and I increased my freezer stash today from 18oz to 30oz

Pretty much everyday it's the same - picking up LO from daycare, when he always gives me a huge smile.

The best part of my day was to go grocery at 7am as a family. We just got back from Asia and severely jet lagged. Everyone was wide awake by 6am and there was no food in the house and too early to drop off at summer camp / start working. It was fun
A very cute idea though, I should start that

Going for a run with my neighborhood friends. So nice to get some exercise and girl time!

@delight: Oh, I’m jealous - my classmates had discussed taking tomorrow off and I was planning to go running before it got too hot, but then we decided to go to class...I was looking forward to a run.
Thanks for all the moments, guys, I’m really liking getting a peek into everybody else’s highlights.

My just turned 5 year old has just finally gotten over her fear of getting her face wet at the pool, and today she was dunking her head under and jumping in to me and she was just so damn proud of herself, and I was so proud of her. Two weeks ago she cried when she got splashed. Then when DH called she was so excited all over again to tell him about it (he’s traveling for work today).

Blueberry picking with my family. Last year my then 7 month baby screamed the entire time, this year she was focused on picking. And eating berries straight from the bush-so cute!

@erinbaderin: i love the idea of a one line journal like this!
for me lately, the best part is big baby smiles when I get my 4 month old up in the morning. Doesn't matter how tired I am, that is the best way to start my day!

Not to minimize the joy of my beloved husband and children, but tbh, the best part of my day is ALWAYS eating something. I just love food. So much.
Right now I'm eating last night's leftover creamy ziti and mmmm this might be the best part of my whole week.

I got to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen since college today! She has two little boys as well, so it was great chatting while they all played together
