Many Birthday Celebrations & A Roaring Fire

From the moment you close your Bible in the morning, nearly everything else you encounter throughout the day will be luring you away from its truths.  Everything we face wants us to forget those moments with God.  I cannot tell you how many times I have had a beautiful and emotional quiet time only to just moments later be faced with yelling kids, barking dogs, and much more.  To read more, join me at Woman to Woman for Marriage Monday.

Homemaking is a lot of work.  It takes a lot of planning.  We have not only housework and caring for the family, but errands to take care of, appointments to attend, and taking the kids to and from activities.  My calendar fills up quickly most months.  Just recently I have gotten more into meal planning for my family and while it takes some serious planning, it is so much easier in the end.  

Sue, at Homemaker's Friend, has a great help!  Her Homemaker's Planner!  This planner is not only beautiful to look at, it has monthly and weekly planning, a place to keep tasks and projects, a place to put your shopping list that is perforated to tear out and take with you, and beautiful encouragement throughout.  I am super excited to begin to use my planner in just two months and I will definitely continue to purchase this Homemaker's Planner in years to come.  Sue is sweet to work with and when you order, you receive your items quickly.
