Creating a home

I have been reading a book called Home Comforts by Cheryl Mendelson. For those of you learning about homemaking, or wanting to re-vamp your current routine and skills this is a great book. It is very detailed, the author explains all aspects of homemaking.

I've just been reminded in the first chapter that it is important to set explicit goals so I know when I'm done. I've forgotten that and tend to clean and go and clean and go. Hmm...What is my defining point of "The house is done"? ~Homemakersheart

Thought for today

"Treating your daily work as an act of worship is therefore an important part of walking the path of abundant living 24/7" - Abundant Guide to Living

This put a spin on my mundane laundry work today! It gave me inspiration to finish all eight loads.

Gifts of the early morning

The view from our back porch. The purple colors where awesome! Getting up early to sit outside for some quiet time was refreshing. Then to see this sunrise, well it reminds me the day is going to be full of surprises!

Gardening Day

God has blessed us abundantly today, with enough collards and brussel sprouts to last a month. I am working on preparing them for the freezer. With a huge lawn bag full, this will keep me busy for most of the day.

They are so tasty! Much better than store bought.
