Tired

I'm so tired! I feel like all I do is Go, Go, Go! I want to cut back and I don't know what to cut out! I'm praying about it and hopefully I'll get it all figured out soon. My kids aren't in a ton of stuff, but it just seems like there are commitments everywhere I turn. I'm going to see if I can find some new head shots of my kids, since the ones up must be two years old and that sounds like a nice relaxing thing to do =)!

Hope you all have a terrific Wednesday!

Teaser Tuesdays (Sept. 13)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.





Mine is from The Bone House by Stephen Lawhead

Pg. 48

"Kit was mightily relieved to discover that his first attempts at communication were met with success. Whatever time he had landed in, Westerners were apparently a common enough sight among the locals that it did not provoke instant alarm; at least, his appearance did not send them reaching for weapons or running for cover."



Life with Little Ones

Life with little ones is busy, crazy, fun, exhausting and always an adventure! Of course some of the little ones here aren't so little! I'll update the side pics later today. I've now got a 7th, 5th and 1st grader, as well as a 3 1/2 yr old going on 10 so he thinks! I'm watching a 2 yr old boy during the week as well!
Madline loves to draw and have a messy room (it drives me crazy, constant battle) guess she's creative. She inherited by old pin that says "I'm not messy just creative", she is still in Girl Scouts and does well at school. I wish she was a bit more social, we are working on that. PJ is involved in Robotics and Scouting as well as Church and friends, he seems to have something to do every day, he does pretty well at school too and still loves his video games. Nate is doing good in first grade, he just started as a Tiger Cub Scout, he loves to tell silly jokes and make lego creations. Joshy loves going to church and playing outside, he is a big talker and is enjoying and struggling with having another little guy around most days. He's used to being the baby, but you better not call him the baby =)

Couples Who Pray by SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuHart

Couples Who Pray: The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman 
by Squire Rushnell and Louise DuArt

This book started out with lots of background stories and such to boost up the book and the value of praying together as a couple. The authors challenge you to pray with your spouse for 5 minutes a day for 40 days to build and establish the habit and therefore the many blessings that come with it. I whole heartedly agreed and was encouraged by reading this. Unfortunately it did not convince my husband to do it with me. I felt my husband gave up reading to quickly as it started out with so much build up, I wish it would have gotten to the important parts a bit quicker. That being said there is still definitely value in this book for couples looking to develop the habit of praying together! Not one of my top books, but I'd give it 3 stars just for the whole concept.


The publisher provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®.
