To hang or not to hang...

I saw a post not long ago about hanging clothes out on the line instead of putting them in the dryer. Well it got me thinking and talking with some friends. Now that I will be home (only 19 days left) I think this is something I might do. With Summer coming(feels like its here already) I know the electric bill is going up with the AC running all the time so I figure this might cut back on the bill ~ yes I know not enough to compensate for the extra time on the AC but it should help. I have been asking my hubby for a couple months for the clothes line and here it is. He is a contractor and everything he builds is the best that he can make it ~ hence the anchors tying it down. I don't think it is going anywhere for awhile.

In-ten-tion-al-ly

adverb : intentionally, deliberately, on purpose, purposefully, knowingly, wittingly, consciously, in full awareness Intentionally That is my word for 2015. A word that requires action. To live with intention; on purpose! To purposefully go about my days. No longer moving from one task to another just because it needs to be done. But to work towards an overall goal while doing those same tasks. The goal with intention and purposeful living? To be purposeful in the role God has called me to. To be deliberate in sharing my faith. To be diligent in pouring over the scriptures. To be intentional when it comes to loving (RESPECTING) my husband. To be purposeful in teaching my children and training them in righteousness. To make decisions according to knowledge, not flippantly or because that is what I am 'expected' to do. (Especially not because that is what I am expected to do.) To consciously create an atmosphere in our home that nurtures love, joy and contentment. ...

Dream and have Courage

I walked down to the marsh today to see what my crazy dog was barking at. Instead of that, I found where my kiddos have made "their spot". They have carried all the cut offs and extra pieces from other projects and started a tree house pile. I imagine they have been sitting in these little blue chairs. Sitting, looking up at this big, beautiful oak and dreaming about the great tree house that they are talking their daddy into building. Planing it all out in their minds. Little minds that think big grand plans. Fun plans. The kind of plans that I think too often adults forget to have. Or at least I know I don't take the time for. And I know I don't take the time needed to make these plans come to be. There is always the immediate. The things that have to happen. All of the daily tasks that need to be checked off the list. This was a reminder for me today. While there are a lot of things that need to be done, I need to chip away at the big, grand plans t...

Manic Monday:Our Day in pics

Raw and real : The highlights of our day. Trying to transition to 1 nap a day. It's a little rough. Hubby pressure washed the house over the weekend. I wanted to add a little beauty to the clean. Picked up the flowers and soil and then used cans I had saved and some spray paint from who knows what still kicking around. Can't help but to keep looking at them. I love the colors! Working on an order. I love pink and grey together. Someone thought they needed some color. I didn't agree! Almost clean. Summer is almost here. If you look really closely you will see two black bugs (yes on the black shovel, but they are there). He was very proud of them! A clean shower. Well sort of. I can't get this clean for anything. Any tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated. Seems we were productive. In many ways we were. School was worked on. Many projects completed. However there are dishes in the sink tonight and dirty floors throughout. But, I am grateful that so much was...
