The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, September 12, 2016

Looking out my window … the sky looks like my son described a similar day recently, “It looks like someone took a single color and painted the whole sky with it.”

I am thinking … about the rest of our day – piano lessons, grocery store, and dinner without Daddy.

I am thankful … that my husband is able to serve our church as he does.

One of my favorite things … hearing my kids read aloud to one another.

I am wearing … olive drab khaki shorts and a magenta 3/4 sleeve peasant style blouse. I might wear my orange tennies when I go out …

I am creating … a grocery list on the menu plan I made last week.

Done!! Five weeks of menus until our next break week. Now to do some lesson plans. #homeshoolrealities #simplifiedorganization #simplifiedpantry #menuplans #functionalnotflashyforms

I am caught up listening to the At Home with Sally podcasts. I’m confused if that’s the end or if they’re on hiatus. Sally sounded done, Kristen sounded like a break.  We’ll see.

I am hoping … to accomplish the plan I put together last week for the next five weeks. It is going to take a lot of patience, hard work, and consistency. I hope it works out.

I am learning … about adding delight and fun in natural ways into my homeschool. A podcast. A blog post. Both very much worth your time.

In my kitchen … I made box mac and cheese for lunch. Yum.

In the school room … we started a new biography of Lilias Trotter and I enjoyed it very much.

A moment from my day … on our way to church yesterday
