Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today...

Outside my window... a beautiful warm day.

I am thinking... that I'm so glad I got most of my work done during the day so now I will have lots of free time tonight!

From the learning rooms... We had a light day today so we could recover this house from the holiday weekend.

I am thankful for... not having any appointments this week!

From the kitchen... There is a lemon cake in the oven making the whole house smell delicious.
This week's menu:
Salad and Baked Potatoes
Three bean soup
Pork Chops
Potato Casserole
Tacos and Burritos

I am wearing... a light green top with black capris

I am reading... my new Bible which I LOVE.

I am hoping... to get several things done this week that keep getting put off.

I am creating... a binder to store all my favorite articles from magazines and websites.

I am praying... for grace to have a gentle and quiet spirit. Today has been a challenge for me!

Around the house... today we all worked together to get this house cleaned up and I put away 6 baskets of laundry. The best part is that I managed to stuff a bag full of clothes for Goodwill at the same time.

One of my favorite things... quiet nights. I'm counting down the hours right now.

A few plans for the rest of the week... staying home all week! Doing some decluttering and planning and still taking those babysteps toward simplifying our life.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

My beautiful children on Easter.

Beautiful Cara Grace.

On our way to church.

I wanted to keep things really simple this year so instead of Easter baskets full of too much candy and junky toys, I made them each a cup with their names on them and filled them with candy. This is now their only cup! They must keep track of them. If they want a drink, they must bring me their cup. I'm hoping this cuts down on the lost cups all over the house issue!
