::The Simple Woman's...Daybook::
Outside My Window...
There are some green buds on the trees which means that sugaring season is over. Yesterday, we spotted the first robin running across the grass, cocking his ear to the ground. Spring has definitely arrived!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am thinking...how grateful I am for each of these little ones that call me Mama. One with recently pierced ears. :)
I am thankful for...big sisters who like to do little baby's hair, some new pretty things for the bedroom, packages that come in the mail :)
From the learning rooms...
We no longer have a room set aside for learning and lessons. We do most of it at the dining room table these days. :) Minn of the Mississippi has been fun. We've had a lot of opportunity to study geography, turtles and numerous other fun topics.
From the kitchen...
lots of fresh produce, a pot of vegetable barley soup made this weekend.

I am wearing...
tan cargo pants, a pink hooded sweatshirt, running shoes, silver jewelry.

I am creating...
menus, chore charts, an entirely fresh and updated home management binder.
I am going...
to the grocery store this afternoon to stock up for the week. I've been mainly eating a raw diet for the last ten days or so which really makes eating simple for me but has completely diminished my desire to cook for the rest of the family.

I am reading...
about how to construct a rabbit hutch and a compost bin.

On my mind...
the soapmaking process, where to acquire bees and all the equipment needed to keep them, whether or not to buy laying hens.

Around the house...
have farmed out many of the chores (that weren't getting done regularly) to the boys who have stepped up to the plate nicely. It's nice to see things shape up a little bit around here a bit. Still lots to do after moving last year during pregnancy and having a new baby. Tess is eight months old now and I am just beginning to get my bearings straight.

One of my favorite things...
Polish Pottery bubble mugs. :)
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
There is much to be done in the next few days. Family is arriving from Virginia on Thursday, Ben is leaving for D.C. on Thursday and he also makes his Confirmation next week.
