The Simple Woman's Daybook



FOR TODAY...September 28th

Outside my window...a GORGEOUS fall day! Dazzling sunshine, perfect temperature, beautiful sky!

I am thinking...about how much I love my new stroller & how nice it is that I have started taking little walks around the neighborhood in the mornings...not that I needed a new stroller to do that, but it has been a nice perk!

I am thankful for...quiet, my kids' nap time!

I am wearing...black capri pants, grey Matilda Jane shirt & flip flops. Oh, and big earrings because when I am dressed "bummy" they make me feel put together!

I am remembering...that I only came downstairs for something quick before going back upstairs to take sheets off the beds...I think that was an hour ago!

I am going...to try listing some of my Matilda Jane trunk items from last year on ebay today.

I am reading...a couple of devotionals from the Sheri Rose Shepherd conference; This Old House magazine; and I would like to start reading Philippians or Colossians today.

I am hoping...that Drew's cough goes away very soon & that everyone stays healthy this fall & winter.


I am hearing...Drew's happy squeals as Darcy entertains him with the feather dusters; Darcy's giggles.

Noticing that...the top of one of the maple trees is starting to turn red.


Pondering these words...Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD God Almighty, who was and IS and is to come...(from The Revelation Song by Kari Jobe, Revelation 4:8)

On my mind...persecution.

From the kitchen...hmmmmmmm? Ideas anyone?

Around the house...sheets, picking-up, emptying dishwasher, and oh, still have those closets waiting to be de-cluttered before we sell our house!

One of my favorite things...singing! I don't have a great voice, but I sure like to sing!

From my picture journal...
Drew's first bite of rice cereal!
Everyone else was excited for Drew to have "real" food, but I think he was feeling a bit crowded!

Hmmmm, that's not so bad!
Proud big sisters!

Things I love about this post...
1) Big earrings will pull any look together -- great tip!
2) That you get distracted just like I do!
3) Singing is one of my favorite things, too, but I don't do it well.
Happy Day!
Blessings!
