Link up with Stasha at The good life for Monday Listicles. It's a different topic every week - follow along and join in. And look at her beautiful pictures while you are checking out her site.
This week, we had a choice of two topics from The Mommy Padawan. I chose #1 – list 10 things you really like about yourself, things you are good at, your super powers!
Making this list was a little harder than I thought it would be! I guess I'm not good at complimenting myself. Ahem. But here it goes:
1) I like my legs.
2) I really like that I have a healthy desire and drive to exercise.
3) I am good at interpreting 17 year old speak vs. 50 year old speak.
4) I have an extraordinary ability to sleep soundly, through most anything (except for every once in a while when hormones say “no sleep”).
5) I have awesome organizational skills.
6) I like my desire to do good things.
7) I also have an extraordinary ability to remember conversations and things that have happened. (It sometimes drives my husband nuts - but I'm still good at it.)
8) I do really like my hair (most of the time) - it took me a while to get it "long" after many failed attempts.
9) I'm good at finding the bright side of things. Most of the time, anyway. :)
10) You know what? I'm a good mom. I'm not perfect, but I'm sane enough to know I do the best I can, and my best is pretty good.

I have never met you but I feel like I've gotten to know you somewhat from your lovely blog. I would have guessed most of your list. You are indeed a good person, Ally! So happy to bloggy know you!
Number 7 was also on my list. I think it sometimes drives my husband nuts too though he's great at kindly pretending to be appreciative of it!
I also share the healthy desire and motivation to exercise which I think has something to do with the ability to sleep soundly at night!
My husband is the one with the good memory. Ugh. And I'm horrible at organizing. And how fun for you with great legs! Good list.
The mom thing is the one thing where I'll give myself some credit. I must admit I did ok there. And it makes me smile to see that you can point out so many wonderful qualities in yourself. :)
I concur on your legs, hair and a killer smile! I have always admired your drive for exercising. You either have it or you don't. Smashing list, glad you bit the bullet Ally!!!
Great list! I'm always really good at remembering things; conversations, names, faces, random factoids and details; and I also irritate my husband.
But it doesn't make me any less good at it. LOL.
Visiting from NorthWestMommy's.
Lovely list! Sometimes you just have to sit back and write an "I'm awesome" list! Found you through the Monday Listicles.
I love a lot about this list, but especially your ability to interpret 17yo speak. That's a valuable and valued asset on Planet Teen. Great list, Erin
