The weather:::
Snow is on the ground and some snow-globe-esqe flakes swirling around, cold and gray today.
Right now I am:::
Finishing my cup of French roast with cinnabon creamer {dreamy!}. Debating what household chore to start first.
Thinking:::
I am so thankful for my children and husband. They really do point me to Christ and I learn so much having them in my life.
On my reading pile:::
Finishing "The Hole in our Holiness" hopefully today!

What I'm creating:::
Sandra has inspired me to pick back up my crochet needles... it's not pretty, but, it's something. Working on a few "play pieces" to refresh my memory.
Homemaking tips:::
Repurpose.
We had one of those 6 cubicle storage things and two of the slats broke. Rather then tossing the whole thing out - I laid it on its side and slid it into our closet as a shoe holder. It works!
Looking around the house:::
Folding chairs and plastic cups litter the living room - remnants of a good night with friends.
WAY too many sweets and snacks left over... need a plan for them or the plan will turn into eating them all and weighing 900 lbs. :/
From the camera:::
My husband is SO creative and fun. He made these worksheets for our party guests last night. The winner won $10!
On my prayer list:::
Friends battling the loss of a sister
Pregnant friends
we desire to move... just thinking.
Bible verses, Devo:::
So appreciate the endless reminders that waiting on the Lord is always best.

We are having a kid-meal week at our house too (my husband just started a new job in another state) ... hope you have a good one!!
Glad to hear you had fun at your Super Bowl Party. Isn't it crazy how we change over the years? When I was a teen it seemed like I could eat endless sweets and types of food without feeling sick or gaining weight, and now I may as well stock my medicine cabinet with tums and pull out the treadmill before I end up weighing 300lbs. LOL
Love your re-purposing tip.
Oh I completely understand what you mean, I'm turning 39 in a few months and I can't just pig out like I used to. lol
Glad I inspired you to crochet, it's looking great already :) It's addictive, you'll find yourself constantly making things.
