The Simple Woman’s Daybook May 18th 2009
Outside My Window ...
It looks like summer, but it is still cold. It is such a tease to think I can open my door and get summer and then be hit with COLD air. Ugg. But, I do see a daddy and his little ones (ok, so they are my friends and one of the little ones is my adorable godson) playing football in the yard.
I am listening to...
Tessa trying to sit in the bumbo with Anna. Giggles now, tears soon.
To Live the Liturgy…
St. Anne has been close to my heart lately. I think it is because I’m feeling as if I am falling a bit short in every mommy and wife duty I have.
To be Fit and Happy….
Ok, so if I say it (or type it) out loud, it means I have to do it right? I THINK I am going to try and give up Coke. But, before I do, I would like to justify my addiction to you, if you will humor me for a moment. I do not like coffee. I need the caffeine. Before I became a mama, I had a healthy relationship with pop (or what some of you non-Wisconsin ladies would call soda.) When I became pregnant, I switched from diet to regular pop. I don’t know why, it is what I craved. Unfortunately, the craving has not left me and I am now seriously addicted. So, I am going to try. But, please don’t hold me accountable or anything responsible and helpful, I may bite your head off. Just a disclaimer.
I am thankful for ...
Being home with my family and back into our everyday “normal” routine after 12 days, yes, I said 12 days, away from home. Praise the Lord!
From the kitchen ...
I think it is going to be “clean the refrigerator out week. Just a thought. But, then I would have to wipe it down…hmmmm…I may reconsider!
I am wearing ...
Black yoga pants—my uniform for life!
I am creating ...
My life in written form; for my sanity, my dreams, and my children to enjoy someday!
On my iPod…
Kelly Clarkson!
Kelly Clarkson!
Towards a real education ...
Books, books, books around here. Not only am I trying to read as much as Tessa wants me too, (because I love books and because I would feel like a bad mommy if I said no to a book) But I am also trying to allow myself more personal reading time.

Bringing beauty to my home ...
Open windows and growing plants put a little spring in everyone’s step around here.
I am reading …
Revolutionary Road
I am hoping and praying….
For God’s will in our lives—and a very special intention for our family. Please don’t ask, because then I have to think of a polite way to tell you we’re not telling!
Around the house ...
It’s a mess and I don’t care that much! I know this is something I should have learned by now—but there are just going to be toys about all the time, I am just now accepting that.
One of my favorite things ...
The smell of my family. It sounds nuts, but I swear I can smell a bit of my husband when I hold my little ones close and take in a big whiff of cuddle time. Ohhh, I love smells; well, pleasant ones anyways.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
I have a lot of work to do this week, and a lot of walks to take with my ladies.
Picture Thought……
Tessa and I greeting all the things that are growing. What a lovely image right? Yeah, it was a flower, she tried to eat it!

Holly, cute blog! I liked your daybook responses. Thanks for checking out my blog awhile ago.
Well, I was just informed of a Cheerios mess upstairs, so I gotta go. Bye! Have a good day!
Great post, Holly! I love being able to keep up with your beautiful family through the blog. And don't feel alone, ever - all us mommies feel as though we are failing as wives and mothers in some way, shape or form. We can ALWAYS do better, and when we DO do better, we can STILL get better. But that is part of the vocation and the Christian life...press on and keep doing all that you do with all that love you have. I am grateful to be one the recipients of that love!
