Schedule, Revised

I had to examine our schedule and make some changes, so here is the revised schedule:

Schedule

So this is our ideal day, but I must add, that it is rarely this neat and tidy. It looks so pretty on paper; everything in its own, neat little box. This is the Master Plan, but most of the time I just go by my routines, and a more loosely woven “To [...]

Today

No school today. We are decluttering/organizing/cleaning the children’s bedrooms and upstairs linen closet. We will hopefully be done by lunchtime; then we can have a snack and read aloud time. It is supposed to be rainy today, so we may not be able to go outside this afternoon. But, I am [...]

The Difference

The Difference
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me
and heavier came each task;
“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered
He said, “But you didn’t ask.”
I wanted to see joy and beauty
but the day toiled on, gray and [...]

Knowing My Place

A friend once said that her husband was told, while on the ship, what his priorities are to be as a sailor:

God
The Navy
The Ship
His Shipmates
His Family

Or was it:

God
Ship
Shipmates
The Navy
His Family?

Either way, family made it around 5th place. We both thought it ridiculous for a Christian man. I tucked the thought away…
After once again [...]

More Journals, Commonplace books, etc.

Try as I might, I am having difficulty finding pictures of other people’s “To-Do” Journals, Commonplace books, etc. But I will post a few links for what I have found:
Peggy at The Simple Woman
Lady of Virtue’s Commonplace Book,
and here.

Starry Sky Ranch’s
And one for Christmas
(This one resembles my “On-The-Go” Planner, which I will share in [...]

Oh Joy of Joys!

Doth mine ears deceive me? I must be mistaken, because I thought I heard that our high was going to be 72 degrees today! Do I dare hope? Where we live we have loooooong, coooooold winters, and reaching 40 degrees means we wishfully pull out our t-shirts in hopes of warmer weather…I [...]

Even More Airing Out

A horrible “before” picture.And another one…And some other pretty stuff I did today!There’s much more I did today; some organizing and hanging and rearranging in my bedroom, some of my Control Center; and the kids worked in the backyard. It feels good to make my house pretty!

More Airing Out

Now neat and tidy…and more…Yes, this is an “after” shot of this bookshelf. You should have seen it before!This, unfortunately, is not even a “before” pic. This is closer to an “almost close to being done” pic. I got rid of 1 1/4 garbage bags FULL of papers! ACK!I won’t [...]

Airing Out

I had hoped to post about our preschool today, but God has had other plans for our day, and so I’m posting about that. I will say, though, that we have been using Little Hands to Heaven, but I will get more into detail later.I hope to post some castle pictures later today, as [...]
