I sent the two littlest boys to the bathroom to wash their hands while I prepared lunch.
Two minutes later, Charlie came running out of there, shouting, “MAAAAMAAAA! Levi’s not washing his hands in a proper fashion!”
You see, they really do listen to us when we say something!

Just a Snippet from My Day…

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/8/08
Hello, Friends! I can’t believe it’s Monday again. I have so many things I want to post here on my blog this week—thoughts, recipes, photos. Hopefully I’ll get around to it all.
For now, it’s time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook!
Outside My Window…It is brutally humid. Oh, how I miss those northern autumns!
I am [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/1/08
Hello, Friends! As you see, I’ve pretty much finished remodeling my blog. It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, and though it was a definite challenge at times, it was really fun!
It’s Monday again; time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook.
Outside My Window…It’s unbearably hot and humid. [...]

Blog Remodel!
Since I can’t remodel my house, I think I’ll remodel my blog instead!
Seriously, though…..I’ve been blogging for 9-1/2 months, and I’m kind of getting tired of the same-old/same-old look of my blog. All that green. The font, which is rather small and hard to read (and which I cannot change without changing the [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, August 25, 2008
Outside My Window…Tropical Storm Fay has left a complete mess in its wake. Our yard is a disaster—branches down, whole trees down (pictures to follow in a later post). Technically, it’s over. But it isn’t over. Even as I type this, the sky is dark. It’s thundering again—we already had [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, August 18, 2008
Outside my window…It’s gray and drizzly. Tropical Storm Fay “might could” (as they say in North Carolina) hit us later this week.
I am thinking…About giving up the Internet—shutting down this blog, closing my e-mail account. The web can be both a blessing and a curse. One makes friends and wastes time, receives [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, August 11, 2008
Outside My Window…The sun is rising on another blue-sky day (and I imagine it will be a hot one!). The squirrels, cardinals, and bluejays that normally frequent our yard aren’t around yet—perhaps they’re making the rounds and are still over at the neighbors’! I see I have a bunch of cherry tomatoes to [...]

A Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, August 4, 2008
Outside My Window…The sky is the lightest gray you can imagine—nearly white. I can’t tell if it’s going to rain or not.
I am thinking…About how I long to live out my Catholic faith in a simple, joyful way—and about how emotionally exhausting it can be to try to do so when it [...]

Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, July 28, 2008
Outside My Window…It’s a bright, blue-sky day. Out on the back porch, I see that the last of the kitchen garden produce is ripening (tomatoes, peppers); the marigolds are looking cheerful as ever.
I am thinking…About how much work there is to do! My parents are visiting us, and [...]

Gotta Love These
Yesterday I found this one-word meme at a few different blogs (including Margaret’s and Roxanne’s), and I couldn’t resist the challenge. Let’s face it: It’s an easy way to do a post without having to think too hard!
1. Where is your cell phone? Bookshelf
2. Your significant other? Working
3. Your [...]
