The Simple Woman’s Daybook

 

 

For September 27, 2009

Outside my window... is a beautiful, sunny autumn day! Breezy and in the low 70’s. Glorious!

I am thinking... of how grateful I am to be so happily busy taking care of my husband, my little girls and my home. I love being a homemaker…it is such a blessing.

I am thankful ... for the health and wellbeing of my family.

From the kitchen... I bought about 10 lbs. of apples this week, 4 varieties….let the baking began! and the applesauce making, too.  A batch of my homemade spaghetti sauce will soon be simmering the afternoon away on the stove.

I am wearing... navy linen capris (last time this season, I bet) & and a pretty green shirt.

I am creating... a peaceful, loving, nurturing home for my cherished family. Nothing “crafty” today!

I am going ... nowhere else today! Just our walk to school at 3:00. I am going to lunch and shopping in downtown Grapevine with my cousin tomorrow!

I am reading... just finished In Praise of Stay at Home Moms by Laura Schlesinger. Wonderful! I have never listened to her or read her books…just happened upon the title in the library. Very encouraging!

I am hoping... the cooler weather comes back…soon!

I am praying ... for the 150 children absent from Madeline’s school today, presumably due to the flu.

I am hearing... light classical on direct t.v……quiet & tranquil naptime.

Around the house...Al and I planted 10 mums and some flowers yesterday. We also put out 7 bags of mulch. Hard Labor for me!! :-) but it does look lovely.

One of my favorite things... walking to and from school with my girls, being there for them, always….

A few plans for the week ahead... so, so much, but all good things…Ice skating, picture day, lunch out…happy things!!!

Here is picture thought I am sharing... and words, too! At school last week, Madeline had a children’s author visit their class. He talked about writing and getting published. Madeline came home and said she wanted to be a writer and I would need to send her books out to “the big places” to have them buy her books. Immmediately, she began her first book, complete with illustrations. She is now on her third in the series. So cute….I love how she is just soaking up everything little thing she is learning in school.  This is her first work: The Owl met the Bluebird. :-)

Have a blessed week, dear ones~
