A few days ago, I was thinking about how much I adore the Bible Study that I go to. I love it because it has provided the consistency, and therefore the depth, that I've always wanted, but never achieved on my own. Sometimes I have a very self-sufficient attitude. I'm an intelligent person, and am successful at many things. So, I often have the … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Not much to plan this week since hubby and I are going out of town on Thursday. My parents will be here, but I won't plan for them. I've just made sure there are plenty of the basics available to them so my mom can make whatever she wants. Monday - For hubby's birthday, we're going to (drumroll) . . . my son's kindergarten Thanksgiving program … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist and a CLEAN BOYS’ ROOM!!!
I'm running around like crazy trying to think of the bajillions of things there are to do before my husband and I leave to go on a trip on Thursday. I'm very excited, but feel completely unprepared. Today I: Made bed. Swept kitchen. Hubby ran the dishwasher AND emptied it yesterday, so it wasn't full enough to run again last … [Read more...]
New Non-Negotiable for the Week
I'm actually excited about this one. For several weeks now, I've been working on laundry. Laundry gets on my nerves. I still don't have it conquered, by any means. I did do better this week, but it's definitely not a habit yet. But I am tired of different aspects of laundry dominating my non-negotiables for the last few weeks. So while I'm going … [Read more...]
Saturday Checklist
Saturdays are hard when it comes to the daily tasks. Today was a fun day. I forced my kids into a photo shoot in the front yard before my husband raked up all the leaves. They actually smiled and looked cute. I don't have to tell any other mother how difficult it is to get multiple kids to smile (naturally, not like crazy people) and avoid picking … [Read more...]

Did 5 minute pickup. Not totally focused, but I need to get this written before I go pick up the boys. Checked bathrooms for … [Read more...]
Working on the Boys’ Scary Room
REALLY scary. This is not a post about some big success. I didn't even take a before picture. I might take a half-way through picture and say it was before. That's how bad it is. I feel so bad about the example I've been to my children. Why in the world should they keep their room nice if mine looks the way it does? After visiting his … [Read more...]

Last night I: Put the load of laundry in the washer, ready to be started this morning. Made lunches. Put out the boys' clothes for … [Read more...]
Thirteen Things I Found at the Bottom of my Closet
What exactly is the point of having a walk-in closet if you can't walk into it? I cleaned out my closet today, which was one of my big goals for the week. It's time to start taking inventory of Christmas gifts so I can know what I still need to buy. And now, since I can walk into it, I also hung in it the clothes that had been hanging on the … [Read more...]
