Simple Womans Daybook, Jan 18th

Outside my Window..
The snow has melted, sun is shinning!
I am thinking..
How much I cannot wait to be myself again and really kick this cold to the curb!

All that is on my to do list..
Just one thing~ get better!

I am thankful..
for my son who plays with his younger siblings while mamma rest..and for his toast with alittle butter and strawberry jam, the only thing that sounds good and he makes them perfect!

Also for my two younger children.......so sweet and asking if I need more orange juice..snuggling with me and praying for me to get better.

My husband for coming home and taking over, helping with the cleaning and getting all the laundry done.. Also just telling me to rest and how much he misses my cooking! makes me smile!!!!

I am wearing..
my fav pjs from Kohls!

I am remembering..
well I am going to remember how good everyone is and how sweet while I have been sick.. I need reward my family in a big way!

In the learning room..
Learning room has become the couch.. lots of reading and coloring.. math when daddy gets home!

I am going..
hopefully for a walk, sun shine would be nice!
I am currently reading..
My bible, in the proverbs!

I am hoping..
to be myself again!!

On my mind..
not too much..rest, rest, rest!

Noticing that..

The simple Womens Daybook, December 14th

Outside my Window..

No snow here, just a calm, cool evening. Pretty white Christmas lights glow!
I am thinking..
All that is on my to do list.. how the challenge from Women Living Well is going to help sooo much! 2 things to plan, a bubble bath and reading the Word... and a night to read a few verses and to tuck in early and get some extra zzzz's! both much needed!!


I am thankful..

For, soo much!!! God is so good! I am very thankful for going home for Christmas with my husband and children. So thrilled to be spending time in my favorite state, lots of snow and my amazing family!!

Nothing! except the BIBLE... Reading the Psalms! Hope to get back to other reading soon. busy time of the year!

I am hoping..

for a easy day tmrw of school and packing.. love days at home!

On my mind..

how anxious I am to see my family! Smell the sweet country air!

Noticing that..

My children make me laugh! today they wanted the truth on santa... kept saying, no way he is real...no way he has magic! once jon and i told them, they had huge smiles. My oldest said, this is good news. LOL

Pondering these words..

"Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine

by the sides of thine house:
thy children like olive plants
round about thy table" Psalms 128:3

From the Kitchen..

The Simple Woman's Daybook November 29th

For Today, November 29th, 2010

Outside my Window.. a thin layer of white fluffy snow! Its super pretty

I am thinking.. What an amazing Thanksgiving day and Holiday weekend my family and I had, even thou my husband had to work alot, we made it work..thats life!

I am thankful.. for a cozy warm home, after seeing the tents that the homeless live in here its something ppl take for granted!

I am wearing, pink top, black pants.

I am remembering.. the hard work my children showed as we helped feed the homeless on Saturday.

In the learning room.. We had a great week! We took our time and learned the history of Thanksgiving. We stayed with the theme for each subject and created a Thanksgiving poster.. which the children are very proud of!

I am going... home for Christmas with my family!

I am currently reading... Soo many books, a chapter or two here or there. Not many pages were read, what a busy week we had

I am hoping.. our week goes smoothly with hopes of doing some organizing and jumping back into school after our holiday weekend

On my Mind.. How much I am blessed with!!!!!!!! I am a sinner saved and I dont deserve a thing!

Noticing that... christmas is around the corner! I have presents to wrap, yay

Pondering these words..."Old-fashioned, Spirit-filled, Christ-honoring, sin-hating, soul-winning, Bible preaching! It is the hope of the church! It is the hope of the nation! It is the hope of the world!" —Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001)

From the kitchen... lets see, our menu... guacamole burgers on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is turkey soup, Thursday is sloppy joes..Friday is Momma's night off! ;) oh and I will have a small cooking lesson with the kids= peppermint fudge!

Around the house.. Fall decor OUT, Christmas IN! Organizing boots, gloves, hats.. gathering bags of clothes, clearing thru toys for donations.

One of my favorite things..

Christmas tree lit and pine candles lit too!

The Simple Womens Daybook October 17th

For today..October 17th

Outside my window..

59 degree, cloudy day.

I am thinking..

Its amazing my 5 year old daughter is napping ;0

I am thankful..

For my children..their amazing! for my husband who never fails to show his love for me..for the Bible, page after page God speaks to me.

I am wearing..
Comfy black pants and shirt

I am remembering..

How much I laughed last night with my friend..

In the learning room..
We have a new, bigger dry erase board, yay! We love our board..We write our weekly scripture that we are memorizing on top, the date, spelling words, everyones chores and lesson plan for the day~it keeps me on task! ;-) Now with a bigger board I can draw and teach at a bigger scale.. i love tweaking our learning room!
I am going..
To the park this afternoon, weather is perfect, not too hot or cold..a hoodie will do, bring a stack of books for me to read. <3

I am currently reading..
JOB in the living Bible..really speaks to me
"Lessons at blackberry inn"..such a sweet read and so different, makes me crave my old country life, want to can and bake all day! ;-)
& "the lies women believe and the truth that sets them free" an amazing eye opening book that every women needs to read..just finished the lies about marriage and now onto children...an intresting lie I peaked at was how it is not up to us on how big or small our family is!

I am hoping..
To book a pedi with my girlfriend..never had one!

On my mind..
my hubby, and how much I want to apply all that I have learned about being the wife God wants me to be! ..less complaining, more praying for him..trusting God all the way, submitting..

Noticing that..
I need to vacumn..I seriously vacumn every day! doesnt seem normal lol

Pondering these words..
Romans 14:22 says "So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." your convictions may and most of the time are not someone elses, so do not perscute someone for their choices weather it be halloween, vaccines, public or homeschooling, the list goes on!!



From the Kitchen...
We will be baking an oreo cheese cake later! mmm

Around the house..
I was sick, not really sick but fighting something hard and was very sleepy all week. So we had a very laid back week.. it was pretty cozy! lessons on the couch and alot of reading..sipping warm echinacea tea. At the end of the week, my 3 children recieved a frostie as an award for chores and being good to their momma!



mmmm! love my heart? it was gift from my dear cousin and friend!



Reading <3



Vanilla frosting oh my!

One of my favorite things..
Watching my youngest put together a puzzle...its so sweet! And the highlight of each week has been sports club on mondays.  It is too funny, especially the younger group!

3-5 year olds, tball..super cute!

The Simple Woman's Daybook Oct, 3

Outside my window... a dark evening that still smells like rain! Our daylight is getting shorter and shorter..love this time of year!






I am thinking... My eyes have really been opened to alot this past week, I am still pondering it all..but thanking Jesus for being such a loving and patient teacher. If only I could parent and teach that way!!





I am thankful for... new christian, homeschooling parents and organization





I am wearing... my hair straight, purple top and black pj capri's with white dots, very comfy!





In the learning room... we added folders for math, art and handwritting to be kept in. and new puzzles that were given to us from a friend!





I am remembering... my childhood! My mom sent me a bundle of pictures of me with my mom and dad..it was funny to look thru and to show my kids. I was so young but I remember when most of them were taken.





I am going... on vacation next week with my family..so we can kick back and relax since my hubby has been gone for 3 weeks. I cannot wait to discover a new town and the road trip along the way. We will also be taking lessons with us!





I am currently reading... I have alot of books that I have been reading on and off. I like to read more then one book at once because I can fly thru them too quickly! I added 2 more books to my reading list, "Lies Women Believe and the Truth that Sets them Free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. The 2nd book was a suprise treat, "Lessons at Blackberry Inn" by Karen Andreola.

Cant wait to begin reading!

I am hoping... and praying my husband arrives safely and on time! ;-)





On my mind...Christians and halloween..





Noticing that... my house needs a good scrubbing, i have a couple loads of laundry to do and I would like to bake something sweet for my husbands arrival!





Pondering these words... Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will... declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice iniquity!'"





From the kitchen... if my kitchen could speak, it would say clean me! haha





Around the house...pumpkin and apple cider candles..mmm! Also brought home a bundle of gourds, i think they are the coolest!

One of my favorite things...rain!
