The Simple Woman’s Daybook 2/6/10

FOR TODAY…

Outside my window… It’s snowing

I am thinking… how do I get our rhythms/routines back on track

I am thankful for… my husband’s new job

I am wearing… a paisley green shirt, denim skirt & grey cashmere sweater

I am remembering…my dear friend who gave me the sweater

I am currently reading…Crazy Love

I am hoping… we can figure out a new home for us before our lease is up

On my mind… menu planning

Noticing that…the house is still messy but it’s getting  better

Pondering these words…

“This is the year of Instead. It rolls off my tongue a little easier every day, and his friend, Yes, has been popping her head in more often, too. The key is to say the word first, quickly, then pause to think about how to make it happen. The children will help you, their hearts pounding a little faster when they realize their request is now a strong possibility. ” ( http://mamahooper.blogspot.com/2010/01/year-of-instead.html )

From the kitchen… Lentil Soup

Around the house… Kids Playing Hide & Seek

One of my favorite things~  Holding a sleeping baby

Christmas is Coming!

November 2, 2007 by mamakay 1 Comment

It’s November! Can you believe it? Are you preparing for Christmas yet? I am starting too. Yesterday, I printed out the pages from the Holiday Planner I bought last year from Graham Family Ministries. It was a great blessing to me last year in getting me to write down our plans and make better use of our time. It also includes the The Glorious Coming: A Jesse Tree Advent Celebration by Ann Voskamp (one of my favorite authors).

On Monday, we are planning on making our Thanksgiving Tree once again this year. It is always so much fun to see what the kids write on their leaves and focus on what we are thankful for.

May our hearts all focus on the Giver during this holiday season!

The Twelve Voices of Easter

April 4, 2007 by mamakay Leave a Comment

In preparing our hearts for Resurrection Sunday I found that Back to the Bible has a series called The Twelve Voices of Easter with dramatized presentations of individuals involved in the Easter Story. I think you will enjoy listening to them. We are enjoying them!

So glad you stopped by. I am a Christian wife and mother of 8 in the middle years. My kids are aged 4 to 20 and just about every 2 years in between. I write about our life as a big family, what God is personally doing in my life, food and books.
