Home Sweet Simple Home


Thursday on my homestead

Accomplished so far: Girls off to school and Sam & I to the grocery store. I love going super early when it’s just me and the “old folks”- I get in & out so much faster plus I find I am not as tempted to buy things not on my list!

Dinner is ready to be put in the crockpot and I have left over homemade rolls and salad from last night to go with it. As well as birthday cake from Mads 6th that’s got to be eaten up (since Sam’s birthday is Sunday- more cake!) Bought a GIANT jar of dill pickles @ the store for under $3 so I plan on cutting a few into spears for tonight also. I believe I was able to finish all my errands for the week including “stuff” for Sam’s birthday party. This is great for me as I am usually running to the store the day of the party for something we forgot.

Plans for this afternoon: one load of laundry and washing kitchen floor. Move at least one box of “stuff” off back porch/storage area to storage in garage. (This storage room is slated to become my new office sometime this spring.) Go thru and purge magazines. I have a pretty “light” afternoon so it looks like I’ll have some time to catch up on a few of the books I’m currently reading.

This evening: After dinner we are planning on having our weekly family meeting followed by family devotions. We have unfortunately gotten out of the habit and think it may be contributing to the steady downturn of behavior here.

We hope this will end on a good note with everyone praying together and striving to have better attitudes and better behavior (parents included!)

I hope to conclude the evening with some quiet time in my journal as well as some snuggle/quiet time with my Hubby.

Sounds like a great plan- weÂ’ll see how it all goes.

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD12- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD9- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added sweet flavor to our family.

DS5- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He's the little man and best helper around! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
