Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window....sunshine and 89 today!

I am thinking...I will probably not get to shower before nap time since all the kids were up by 6:45 am

I am thankful for...a husband who helps around the house

I am laughing...at my 3 year old who likes to dress {mismatched} and undress herself SEVERAL times a day. RIGHT now she's wearing a coral floral skirt and a pink Mackinaw Island t-shirt.

From my kitchen...blueberry muffins for breakfast and some to freeze for the school year

I am wearing...a college t-shirt that's12 years old and showing its age and capri sweatpants

I am blessed...to have friends who I get along with and that our children love being together.

I am praying...for a friend in surgery today

I am hearing...the little man trying to go upstairs because his sisters are up there

Around the house...bathrooms that need cleaned

I am pondering...about God's timing. The door just isn't opening or closing we are just waiting....sigh

A few of my favorite things...coffee and quiet time....kids playing without fighting!

Next week...Bible study and a meeting about upcoming CBS plans and probably some school shoe shopping

A verse...Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

A song....just because it makes me laugh!

Do this yourself and go here!

Girls are just jamming to their own beat! Tonight's vegetable {for mommy and daddy} oven roasted bacon wrapped aspargus!!!!!!!!!!! Dessert tonight a few Wilbur buds from Litiz PA.

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 ...
