the simple woman's day book

i found this wonderful blog this last weekend and noticed that she did a day journal every monday, so i thought i would give it a try. you can find more information here.




FOR TODAY December 15, 2008
Outside my window...the sun is starting to set. i see a little snow and it is cold!

I am thinking...that i need to make a dr. appointment. i have had face, cheek and head pain for a week.

I am thankful for...our warm home and clothing for this cold weather.

From the kitchen...going to warm up taco soup and fresh bread in a little bit for supper.

I am wearing...jeans, turtle neck, vest and a light weight jacket.

I am creating...an album for a girl that is getting married in our church.

I am going...to start purging our home of unnecessary items to make our life and home more simple.

I am reading...'having a real relationship with God' and 'the five love languages' for the two bible study groups i am part of.

I am hoping...for nice weather during the Christmas season so families can get together.

I am hearing...channel 32 'the message' on my xm radio, the dishwasher going, traffic going by our house.

Around the house...emma is on the computer, our boxer, jasmine is sleeping at my feet, dishes are done, and mail needs to be gone through.

One of my favorite things...having to not go anywhere when it is this cold.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
make Christmas goodies, awanas, church Christmas program, women's bible study, couples bible study, laundry, wrap Christmas presents.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

i am missing the nice weather, so i thought i would post a picture i took this summer.

i hope everyone is having a wonderful evening and God bless

it's beginning to look like christmas

we finally put up our tree a couple of days ago. with just a hectic schedule, we just weren't able to put it up as soon as emma thought we needed too! of course i was inspired by her to make our tree topper, so our tree was topperless (i don't think that is a word but you get the idea) for a couple of days. i was finally able to get it finished tonight. I really like it! kinda looks like a huge flower. i am thinking about making a few of these to make a garland to hang on the wall. how cute would that be. my hubby will just shake his head and ask if they are necessary. Yep! they are!

i know i have neglected my store just as i got it started. just for your information, do not try to do something big like that just before Christmas...

i think i have to rethink my schedule. i don't want to neglect anything...you know, things like family, home, blog and etsy. i an going to try to blog one day a week, update ella & ruby's one day a week, and spend the rest of the time with family, friends, cleaning and crafting. if i don't do this i think i will start to feel overwhelmed. if anyone has advice an how to juggle your life, i am all ears!

hope everyone a wonderful week and i will see you next week.
God bless
