Simple Woman’s Daybook: February 10th

The Simple Woman’s daybook is one of my favorite blog memes to do. I always get lots of comments, visits, and encouragement when I write it. My daybook always combines little parts of my everyday life. Sometimes I feel like my life takes on such a hectic pace. Blogging about my week helps me to see what my week is like, and maybe figure out how to slow things down a bit. So I hope that you enjoy this post. And join in with the Simple Woman’s daybook as well.

Outside my window… It is bright and sunny and very cold! There are about 2 inches of snow on the ground right now.

I am thinking… That I am ready for baseball season to start. Or at least I can’t wait for time change.  Somehow the cold weather is more bearable when it is light longer.

I am thankful… I am thankful that we did not get as much snow as the weathermen predicted.  Wish I could say that for the rest of the Northeast.

In the kitchen… Not a lot this week.  We are running a lot this week, so there isn’t much time for cooking.

I am wearing… Dressed for church in a warm sweater, jeans, and cozy boots.

I am creating… A mess.  Well, sort of.  Going to clean out the master closet this week.

I am going… To tackle my to-do list, and not just talk about it. I also want to work on more blog posts. I also want to see if hubby will take me to Target to get 2 new wire shelves.  Our 2 that we use in the cellar to hold extra food are on their last leg!

I am wondering... If Spring will make an early appearance this year. I really hope so!

I am reading…Lying Game Series #5 by Sara Shepard

I am hoping… That the snow will go away very quickly and it will start to warm up.  Can you tell that I am really ready for Spring?

I am looking forward to… Just being with my family. And making our home a haven. I am starting to look forward to our vacation in June to Wildwood, and a second road trip to Ohio/Wisconsin in July.

I am learning…That life is short, you have to make the most of it before it’s too late.

Around the house… Just trying to keep things presentable. Making sure I am making the beds daily, and that the sink is empty. It really makes a big difference. And doing at least one load of laundry a day. I am also trying to keep up with ironing. At last these things *must* be done before any blogging or networking starts.

I am pondering… An easier way to plan Jeremy’s birthday party next month.  Instead of stressing, I want to enjoy it.

A favorite quote for today… “Can we play????” Wait, didn’t I say that in my last post?

One of my favorite things… Sitting outside in the Spring, with warm sunshine, light breezes, and sunshine!  Wait, didn’t I already say sunshine?

A few plans for the rest of the week:
