MPM + MADM

This week we don't have a lot of extra activities, which means I hope to accomplish quite a few things on my 'house to do' list. A few of the jobs I hope to start and finish are: making a decorative hanger thingy to organize the girls hair accessories, figuring out a way and place to organize and hang my necklaces/bracelets/earnings, and sorting and organizing the basement kitchen and clearing out the basement entertainment center. We are getting rid of the entertainment center which means I need to sort DVD's, the hundreds of old country CD's we have and clean off the shelves. Shania Twain or Garth Brooks anyone? :)

Be sure to scroll past my menu for MADM.

Last Monday I talked with my children about blessing others, explaining to them that God expects us to serve those around us, regardless of their age, race, abilities... Each week, I am requiring them to go out of their way to serve someone. At times, this service will be unknown, other times it will be obvious.
I too, hope to become more aware of those around me and that the actions of my husband and I are noticeable in {my childrens'} eyes, so we can be an example to them.

My children wanted the neighbors to sled with them, which they often do. However, the neighbor children don't have water proof snow clothes. (we love our neighbors dearly, they are a wonderful family, however, they are not very receptive to borrowing things. this time, I called their mom and insisted) We dug out our extras from storage + my snow clothes and they took them along for the neighbors to wear. 3 hours in the snow=great WARM, DRY day for everyone!!
