I found myself completely at a loss this week for a blog post {besides the candy cane hearts}. In light of what is happening in Haiti, my minor little “irritations” paled in comparison and I wondered if I would be misunderstood {even judged} if I shared about a travelling husband, broken heat that resulted in frozen/busted pipes … typing and backspacing. Typing and backspacing… it’s a tiring little process, especially when I recognize how very blessed I am… mentioning nuisances seemed absurd.
On one hand my life is likely not much different from yours and I often find myself wondering who would want to hear stories behind pictures like this {below} and on the other hand I absolutely love being a mother and find great pleasure in sharing both the ups and the downs along with the recipes, renovations, and crafts… it’s the deciding of what to share and how to share it that causes me to get a little tongue-tied.
But seriously, do pictures like this even need words? Maybe a caption like “if you keep the Cheerios out of the reach of an 18 month-old rover they will not be spilled”.
But when you discover that said 18 month-old loves to sit quietly at a table looking at books, making car and animal sounds you will forget about the 238,932 Cheerios that were spilled.
Despite minor earthly irritations this week, all in all, it was a good week. A week that started last weekend with an all-adult dinner with friends, good food, and good conversation… and was followed by resuming our small group on Monday night, more dinner and fellowship on Tuesday night with friends, resuming CBS {Community Bible Study} on Wednesday which I’ve decided I need in my life for accountability, and we ended the week, yesterday, with the girls having some friends over to play. Our week was full…
Our week was also, thankfully, accompanied by warmer weather which allowed for a little treasure hunting in the dirt patch that refuses to grow grass in our front yard.
In other news, I am excited about participating in Craft Hope for Haiti and contributing to their ETSY shop… check it out… fabulous donations from artsy/crafty folks and ALL proceeds will benefit Doctors Without Borders in Haiti! I’m still trying to decide what I will donate… and I’ll keep you posted on that. I also encourage you to get involved as well– either by shopping there or contributing. You don’t have to have an etsy shop to participate— they take care of everything for you! All you have to do is make and donate your handmade craft! Or shop there with the confidence of knowing that your money is benefiting the Haitians in need!
See y’all soon with another recipe… happy weekend to you!
