RAndOm fUN foR the DaY

This song has made me smile way down deep. I had never heard it have you?

Crayola Doesn't Make a Color For Your Eyes.

Celebrating the fun of life today. Sometimes you just have to choose to celebrate to say THANK YOU GOD for this time in life.

off I go to take my girls to there FREE gymnastics class that they ADORE and then to help my husband bring a little life to that office of his. :)

In my west corner choosing to dance just because God is doing thing even though I don't see it all.

My new diet

Sunshine and imported M & Ms from Greece.

sigh, smile, sigh

Need I say more? 

So how should I ration them? 20 a day, 50, 75? 

Maybe instead of counting them one by one it could be more like 1 or 2 fist full. :) 

It will be my new diet for the week: a face full of sunshine and a fist full of colour pieces of chocolate.

Using what we have ...the Greece border oh so close and my fist. ;)

In my west corner...

grateful for a new day with sun and sweet love,

Becky

So what are you, a peanut or plain kind a gal?

Enjoying a "lived in" home

I am purposing to enjoy a 'lived in' home. I have cleaned less this week and spent more time reading aloud, doing puzzles, sewing, contemplating truth, listening and talking with my children, playing card games, helping a friend, praying.  As a result it is now Friday and I have yet to finish my regular cleaning or my laundry. It has been a VERY effective week. 

Tea and Streams in the Desert means:

a few moments of  inner quietness

Laundry baskets full of clean clothing  means: 

we are well clothed with the ease of cleaning them.

Keeping Isaac 'with me' means:

Being apart of his play and folding clothes is an interruption to the a yellow dump truck.

Piles of folded laundry means:

We have plenty.

Choosing to keep media time down means:

Lydia reaching for a homemade toy.

My husband gone for 7 days means:

Togetherness is a gift 

 and so are these wonderful items he brought back with him. :)

Look at these absolutely wonderful handmade Malaysian coasters.

 I love the gifts my husband buys for me...I absolutely love how well he knows me. I am deeply loved by him and I find great joy in being confident of that.

The questions I am asking myself this week:

What are the things I value? Am I living them out in my every day mundane chores and life? Are my children learning the values I (we` my husband and I) so deeply cherish in the little and big things? Am I obsessed with accomplishment or focused on purposeful living? 

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. " Rom. 12:2

In my west corner, 

Becky 

3 lira, me and some hip socks.

Saw these, bought these, feel so hip wearing these. 

3 lira, me and a pair of socks!

Happiness, ridiculous, childlike silliness, me and my socks.

Don't covet, it's a sin. ;)

With warm, fun feet in my west corner,

Becky

 delighted by a small thing..

Great Premades for for a great price

I just added my first button.  Yippee.  Anyway if you are interested in a blog design (template) this is a great worthwhile site. The template you see on my blog is from this site.  Mine is called Bold blooms. 

The premades she offers are only $6 total, great deal. She has several to pick from, with fun and chick options.  Really it is an amazing price and all the proceeds go for their upcoming adoption.~  

Blog options

It is now 1:19 am here in my little 'ol town and I have succesfully figured out that designing a blog is exhausting.  The truth is I just can't stand to blog/post if my blog doesn't look fun and inviting to me.  Call me crazy but that's the way it is. 

Well I think I will be taking a break for a few days on the design of this time eating outlet. 

Good night.
