I have been enjoying the wonderful feeling of having balance in my life lately. We all know it when we don't have it. I know I do. And I'm so happy to have noticed that right now, I DO have it. By balanced, I mean that I don't feel that any one section of my busy life as a homeschooling mother is out weighing the other. I'm finding time for exercising, cleaning, meal planning, home schooling, praying, sewing, and resting. This is how it always should be. Now I need to figure out how to keep it this way...

I also have some fun things to share:

1) I'm so proud of my friend Toni, for doing an excellent job on her first vlog ever! You must go see her lovely self in person.

2) I have recently discovered vegan meal planning inspiration! We are not vegan, but we used to be for 15 years. So, even though we eat meat and dairy, we always enjoy a good vegan meal. Oh She Glows is definitly worth a looksie.

3) I have broken another plate! (darn that porcelain sink). Now I have a reason to pick up the next cute set of dishes I find at the thrift shop. I'm particularly looking for simple white... I think.

4) The girls have a new chore chart. This is a good one. And I am not nagging. And the house is cleaner! And the girls are not complaining. And that means I just get to eat bonbons in the afternoons.
