a confession

So I've noticed that when I fill in the "what am I wearing" line on my simple woman's day book I often  always put sweat pants. Patten? yes, sigh!

Okay, so here's my confession. I live in my {capri} sweatpants. I mean I go to bed in them and I may or may not continue to wear them for that day or several days. I have several pairs. They are so comfortable when I am chasing my little ones. Especially when I have no place to go. But I may or may not wear them in public.

My girls disapprove. They are girly to a fault. Layers of jewelry and tiaras. Skirts or dresses only.The spinney-er the better. In fact if it doesn't  pass the  spinney test it can't be worn. I have to make my 6 year old wear pants on gym days.This summer they were completely appalled that I didn't own more skirts. I did purchase a cute skirt at Marshall's this summer on the cheaps. It cute and spinney. They approve. It brings my skirt total up to TWO!



In fact one time I was getting ready to head out to a friends house and I was in my fav pants and with gasps of disapproval they both said, "You are not going out in that are you?" Uh no...so leaving them strapped into the van I quickly changed into denim capris and a dressier t-shirt. I don't know why they didn't appreciate the 15 year old worn in one I was wearing.


I am becoming quite  the lazy dresser these days. Its a good thing I've got my little fashion police to keep me on track!

Go see what's happening here.

  1. Jen, I think it's okay. :) I only have ONE pair and I wear them 2 or 3 times a week when I'm at home. Why should we wear uncomfy clothes when we are constantly caring for kids, bending over, getting down on the floor, laundry, sweeping, etc. At least you have multiples pairs and you own other clothes in case you wanted to wear something different. I was just thinking the other day how I wanted to get myself a few more pairs. :)

My little {BIG} fear

So here's my little confession: I have big fears and little fears. But lately one particularly has been plaguing me { AGAIN }. It is the fear of being forgotten, more so being { FORGETTABLE } and indivisible. I don't know what starts it or triggers it, but it can be as simple as an email offering to volunteer for something than not hearing a reply. I guess the last trigger was a group wide calendar was sent out with {every one's} birthday on it except mine. I know that is wasn't done on purpose but my birthday is a sensitive subject to me. Its always been forgotten. Its right around Labor day and the first week of school. So in the busyness its often overlooked. Or in the case of 6th grade its not even written on the calendar. Mrs. Brotherton I think I know when my birthday is...but she still made me go to the Principal's office for arguing with her and I came back successfully with a note that I was indeed correct about knowing my birthday. I digress... I was telli...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
