Simple Womans Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... It is Night time. The sky is dark and only a handful of visible stars. There is still snow on the ground and I am hoping it goes away soon.


I am thinking...about how wonderful these last couple of days were. We went to The Great (big~ my joey adds this) Wolf Lodge for 2 days and 1 night. We had SO much FUN! Miguel and I didn't get to spend as much time together because we were taking turns with the kids. Abby would want to go on the really really big water slides and Ellie wanted to stay on the little tiny baby ones, Joey wanted to go on the medium ones. We managed to keep everyone happy. 

I am thankful... for my husband. He really is a remarkable. He does whatever he can to meet all of our needs. He makes breakfast on his days off (usually Abby helps), He cleans up the kitchen for me daily, He makes coffee in the morning for me before he leaves for work. After work he comes home and watches the kids so I can go to the gym for 1 to 2 hours. He helps put the kids to bed. He helps with laundry and on and on. He is a gap filler and I am thankful for that.


In the kitchen... All the dishes are loaded. Counter tops are clean. (thanks Hubs)

I am wearing...Christmas pajama pants with peppermints and words on them. purple and black plaid flannel  over a 3/4 sleeve black shirt. (i was cold)

I am creating... A special blog for my daughter Abby. She will be 8 years old this Sunday. This blog is going to filled with notes from loved ones and from me. Special clip art and quotes to encourage her.

I am going... to target, tj max and a few other places. Most of my jeans are a bit big for me and I want to try on some jeans to see what size I am now :)

I am hoping... that the winter snow will melt all the way and not return. I am longing for sunshine and warmth.

I am learning...what loving like Christ really means, and it is no easy task but something I long for dearly. 

Around the house...I need to finish unpacking from our trip to the Great Wolf Lodge. We had such a great time!


A favorite quote for today... " The Savior walked through life in the service of others, because when He was helping others, He was glorifying, honoring and obeying the Father in Heaven that we share. It is all so simple…. LOVE others. REALLY LOVE them, do not expect anything in return, do not put conditions or rules on the love that you give…love because it is the right thing to do…love because Heavenly Father and the Savior need to bless others through you and through me…LOVE because that’s what you want most, and naturally, that’s what others want most. LOVE. Love yourself and love others, everything else good and right and true will come out of that loving…out of that action and discipline and intention to love. Just love…" ~Melody Ross

One of my favorite things... Scarves. I just love them. all of them.

A few plans for the rest of the week: I need to rest my knees and ankle. They hurt so bad from doing so much lower body work outs. My ankle I almost rolled twice, so I need to be careful with that.

A peek into my day... My sister Sherry, bought these bracelets for me and I just love them. It has my word for 2012, STRONG. and on the inside of the bracelet it says Love Sherry. I wear these always!
