A Simple Recap of the Week So Far

 Hello Friends!

Happy Thursday! This week is moving right along.

Tuesday night we had our weekly family dinner and I surprised the kids with a little treat to celebrate the upcoming babies (due in December and January). Collin and Morgan are having another boy and Ted and Alex will be bringing their 4th girl into the family (they also have 1 boy) and we couldn't be more excited!


I bought them each a little outfit for their newborns-to-come and set out these blue and pink cupcakes for dessert. We are all getting excited to have two more babies in the family.

Wednesday I spent much of the morning working on new-house tasks, such as paperwork, roofing estimates and communicating with my realtor. I did a few loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen and made a big pan of chicken enchiladas for lunch. 


Banjo - our very spoiled dog
He's an old man now, so he likes to lounge most of the day. 

Wednesday there was a heat advisory outside. Though the temps were in the 90's, the heat index was in the 100's. At 7:15 pm, it still felt like 99 degrees outside. It's hot!

This heat makes me feel like joining Banjo for an afternoon nap, but instead I watched a few episodes of Gilmore Girls and folded laundry to keep myself awake. 

In the evening, when David gets home from work, we will watch old episodes of the tv show FAMILY, which was on in the 70's. Last night we watched one of those and sat and recapped our day. 

I made myself a fruit smoothie and had some almonds for dinner. David had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I guess we'll eat the rest of the enchiladas today. 

I have a few errands to run today and most likely, more decisions about house stuff will come up. I'm feeling a little bit out of it right now, around this house. With the prospect of a new house on the horizon, I'm at a creative standstill around here. I'm actually looking forward to having more space to decorate and organize in the future.

Well, I'm off to find breakfast. My sister says I need more protein in my meals, so the question is always "What to eat today?" I've always said that if I could have any kind of hired help around the house, it would be a professional chef. Wouldn't that be the dream?

What kind of help would you choose? Chef, housekeeper, lawn guy? Leave me a comment with your dream helper choice. Inquiring minds want to know 😉

In the meantime, have a great Thursday! Remember, focus on today and let God handle tomorrow!

Until Next Time...
Blessings!

  1. What a fun gathering to celebrate two more babies! In our house we are on baby watch today. Our daughter is having a C-section in about an hour!
    I think it's exciting and a little overwhelming to think about a new house.
    I would choose someone to clean for me. :)

  2. Congratulations on your growing family...what fun to have the babies/cousins close together! Will be fun for years to come!! Cute cupcakes:) I have to say if I had a daily professional, it would be someone to do my hair and make-up each morning!! That would so make my day!! Daily professional...I'd be happy if I looked decent once a week!!

    1. Jennifer, that's one professional I've never thought about! But how glamorous and fun that would be! Come to think of it, maybe a hairdresser would be nice to have :)

  3. We have a hired lawn guy -- just about a necessity here in hot, humid Florida, and as retirees. A house cleaner would be nice .....

    Those cupcakes look great!

    1. We have had a lawn guy before and it was the best! I don't know how they work in this heat.

  4. Yummy looking cupcakes - how fun on the new babies coming.
    Did you find another house already? Did I miss that?
    Stay cool!

  5. I'm so glad to hear that the Lord has inclined your heart toward moving! Isn't it amazing when He does that kind of thing for us? I don't ever want to get over the awe and wonder that God is to me daily. I love your question at the end; if I could have help in my house, it would be for someone to just vacuum and mop all the floors. I would also LOVE to hire someone to pain the house for me, but that's not going to happen, so I'd better get a move on soon. 🤣

    1. Mopping and painting are two things I never look forward to. Might be worth a try, now that you're working full time :)

  6. Sounds like a good week (minus the hot). Lol It's been cool and rainy here and I'm soaking it up right now. The cupcakes are so sweet and how fun to dream on more Little ahead! I hear you about help in some areas. I think I'd choose someone to do laundry and clean the bathrooms! Lol 😜
    Blessings on your weekend. xo

    1. Hi Carrie :) Someone to clean the bathrooms would be great!

  7. Definitely a housekeeper. If I never had to clean another bathroom again, that would be ok with me! :) Good luck with all your decisions. I've been thinking about you 😊

    1. Thank you Danielle :) Little by little, everything is coming together.

  8. I would want a housekeeper if I could find one that actually cleans and doesn't just fluff the place up. Failing that, a personal chef would be great if they cleaned up after themselves.
