2013 Family Fall Busket List ~10-8-13

We can check "Make Caramel Apples" off our Fall Bucket List!  Only 15 more items to do! ;)
Big beautiful Red Delicious Apples on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.

 The girls poured caramel sauce all over! Yum! We gave them a quick sprinkle of non pareils. Next, we put them in the fridge so the caramel could set up.
After waiting an excruciating 30 minutes...it was time to enjoy Homemade Caramel Apples.  Do you have a Fall Bucket List?

Home a Haven:Day 3~10-5-10

Day 3

Monday and Tuesday were a success in terms of making our home a haven. I finished 90% of my to-do list both days.I was even able to go to Book Club on Tuesday night! I have missed so many Book Clubs lately because I have felt exhausted and overwhelmed by 7:00pm! It was so nice to reconnect with friends and get a new book to read.
I really took the time to listen to my girls. Took time for myself. But MOST important of all, I put my Father first! That in and of itself made all the difference in my days! Amen.

Wednesday October 5th

Refreshing my spirit. Before my feet hit the floor, I reach for my Bible and read my devotion for the day. I re-read Psalm 107. My favorite verse is:
29:He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
30:They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
I read our family devotion to the girls and said our prayers for the day.
Yep, feeling refreshed!

Fed the girls breakfast. I always sit at the table and eat breakfast with them. Usually, our conversation centers around the dreams they had the night before! I send them off to their room to play and I begin my morning routine.

My Morning Routine.
*
Clean bathroom.
*Feed cats.
*Wash breakfast dishes.
*Start a load of laundry.
*Set up for school.
*Check e-mail.
*Homeschool starts at 9:30am.

Lunch is served around 12:30. It was such a pretty day, I decided to put a little table out on the porch and serve them lunch outside. Nothing fancy:Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, Peaches, and a little treat of Mini Lemon cupcakes and Candy Corn mixed with Peanuts. They were so excited to eat outside. It makes my heart soar to see them so excited about something that I consider so simple.




For Dinner we had:
*Chicken Noodles
*Mashed Potatoes
*Sweet Corn
*Cheddar Biscuits
My husband LOVES this meal. And I LOVE making it for him. :)

I am really enjoying visiting everyone's blogs. Thanks for sharing.

Happy 2nd Blogaversary, Little Blog!~7-13-10

Tuesday July 13, 2010
Today is my little blogs 2nd Anniversary. Not much to celebrate. I have not kept up with it. Poor thing is neglected. I really wanted to start blogging to document my life. The ups and downs. My craft projects. Words of wisdom for my girls.
 

I really need to keep up with this. So here it goes....a few moments in my life today!

I was trying to get a few things done this afternoon but the girls were not going to let that happen. So I made them each a tent over their beds. I just used a flat sheet and a few safety pins and "waa-lah!" I then added some white lights over the tents. Pulled the shades and turned off the light. They played for a couple hours. Such a simple idea and they were so excited and couldn't wait for daddy to get home from work to show him.
