Vacation on the Brain


VACATION! AHHHHHH! 

Its getting close. Yet I haven't really done much to get ready. I am a secret planner. I usually have a staging area (dining room table) to start the vacation process. I can't find my dining room table at the moment.

On our vacations we rent a house so that we can cook some of the meals. So for the past 4 or so years I've kept an on going list. I add/take away each year based on the amount of peeps and changing diets. But its a good place to start. It helps the conversation between me/MIL/ my mom get started. Yes, we vacay with BOTH sets of grandparents in the same house. Its amazing  memories for my kids. AND they get along like ROCKSTARS!

But this year is a little different. My house is in different stages of construction. AND I have a birthday party for  #4 and a recital for #1. So my planning and early stages of packing have been neglected. YIKES!

All I can accomplish right now is making lists. NOW my lists have lists. I hope I don't forget something and I hope I am not up until the crack of dawn packing...because we are leaving 30 minutes after the crack of dawn.

This is a picture of palm trees and the beach....#2 has vacation on the brain too!

Soon I will be sitting by the beach or hanging out at the pool that our house has.....soon!

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 ...
