The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... The sun is shining, and the snow is mocking me. ;)

I am thinking... about our budget...there just never seems to be enough of it! lol

I am thankful... to have next year's school curriculum all ordered and taken care of for the next school year.

In the kitchen... We had Venison Steak, Carrots, and Salad for lunch.

I am wearing... A brown shirt, a maroon floral skirt with matching tights, and sneakers. And of course, earrings and a necklace :)

I am creating... I have some earrings in mind I may work on later today.

I am going... into town tomorrow or the next day...there are some sales at the local grocery store. :)

I am wondering... when the snow will melt!

I am reading... the Bible. Homemaking/organization articles online.

I am hoping... that my Etsy shop doesn't bite us you-know-where when tax time comes around. lol

I am looking forward to... no more formula! The baby only has a couple cans left...since she is a year we won't have to get any more!

I am learning... more about having a small online business.

Around the house... the toddler is napping, the older three are doing school, the baby is drinking her bottle before she goes down for a nap

I am pondering... do I have to ponder something right now? I'm too tired. :-)

A favorite quote for today... "Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops." -Cary Grant

LOL...ain't that the truth!

One of my favorite things... A nice hot bubble bath...where no one knocks on the door and says, "I have to go potty!!!"

A few plans for the rest of the week: go grocery shopping, hopefully clean the house up, relax this weekend with my family!

A picture for today...

Tiny Moments/ Huge Impact

A few moments ago I was standing in the living room, holding my 11 month old baby girl, watching my son play the x-box. I was just absentmindedly staring at the tv screen...not happy, not sad...just whatever.

Suddenly the baby leaned forward in my arms and peered into my face. A huge smile lit up her face as she promptly stuck her fingers in my mouth. She giggled with glee when I laughed.

Such a doll. As the country song goes, "I live for little moments like that"!

Introducing Us! (Again...kind of...)

For the sake of privacy I will call myself "Mrs. C ". While I will be giving "screen names" to myself and my family, please know I will be completely honest with everything else I post. :)

Here is a little bit about us. I am 27 and the mother of four beautiful children. My husband "Mr. C" and I have been married for 8 1/2 years. Our oldest child (boy), "JB" is 7 years old. Our second child (boy), "L" is 6 years old. Our third child (girl), "Jewel" is 5 years old. Our youngest (girl), "Fay" is 11 1/2 months old...she is flying towards that first birthday!

We are a homeschool family. We live in the country...which our children and my husband love. I sometimes think the kids would stay cleaner if we lived in town...lol...but I enjoy the country too. We have two cats, one dog, and six chickens. That is pretty much the extent of our "livestock". :-D

Well, that's it for now. Have a blessed day!

Mrs. C
