Too busy Tuesday

Alternatively titled: Simple Woman's Daybook


FOR TODAY ....

Outside my window...it's perfect out! cool & partly cloudy. Now if only the mosquitoes would go away so we can enjoy FALL!
I am thinking...about how to stick with my new routine
I am thankful for...my kids' teachers.
(NOT)From the kitchen...going to try to eliminate gluten & sugar from my diet.
I am wearing...$2 garage sale jeans & a sweater
I am creating...(with the help of Kristina) an event for readers & their friends at The Mill House. Stay tuned for details!
I am going... in many many different directions these days
I am reading... The Marriage Project and The Love Dare
I am hoping...that I can successfully give up sugar
I am hearing...the washing machine
Around the house... we're organizing and decluttering.
One of my favorite things... listening to my kids tell me about their school day
A few plans for the rest of the week: photoshoot tonight, set up for garage sale number 3, pick up another load of garage sale items from one house to deliver them to a different house for the weekend's sale, finish proofing a weddingsoccer practice, set up a proof site for a senior session, 2 soccer games, finish a blog book, and if I'm lucky get a few blog posts up - I'm SOOOO behind!

Here's a photo of how we keep track of school papers. When I empty backpacks each kid has a clipboard by the door where all school related paperworkd is hung. Julia's wasn't up when I took the picture, but we keep their things seperate and handy by our front door. So far so good!

    Hey, if you want gluten-free recipes/ideas let me know. And giving up sugar??? Ouch! Do you guys still not do milk too? You're going to be on the water diet here soon! Go you!!!!

    I feel you on the mosquitos. I keep asking them if they could just hurry up and die!

    I want to read the Love Dare so bad. I try to think of the "steps" from the movie and live them out. However, I have a bad memeory, so I really need to read the book. ;)

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
