Simple Woman's Daybook- Jan. 13

Outside my window...a beautiful winter day. Partly cloudy sky, birds flying, the trees look beautiful covered in fresh snow

I am listening to...CNN coverage of the earthquake in Haiti. It is so heartbreaking and overwhelming

I am wearing...comfy sweats and wrapped in a blanky. It is the kids nap time right now, so I am having some downtime too. Who cares if the bathrooms are dirty right??LOL

I am thankful for...my family and all that we have. I am so thankful that my husband works so hard everyday so that I can stay home and raise our kids. I am so lucky that we live in a nice house and never have to worry that me might be hungry or unsafe. We are blessed with everything we could possibly need.

I am reading... A world without end- Ken Follett. I really like reading books that take place in the middle ages.

From the kitchen...I got a great deal on shrimp so I have been making stir-frys, risotto, and pastas. YUM!

I am thinking...about the poor Haitian people suffering after the massive earthquake. I am praying for them and wondering what I can do to help.

I am getting ready to create...pillowcases for my bed and aprons for the kids and I with my new sewing machine. I just have to find the time to set it up and figure it out!

Towards rhythm and beauty...we are having a great day today and are working on lots of art projects. The kids did a finger painting today.

I am hoping and praying...for all the people in Haiti and everyone affected by the earthquake

Around the house...I should really clean the bathrooms!!

One of my favorite things...enjoying the everyday moments with my children.

A few plans for the rest of the week... playgroup tomorrow and hopefully some more nature walks.

A picture thought I'm sharing...

This is the aftermath of a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old finger painting!!!!
