August Daybook

 


For Today: August 2, 2019


Looking out my window...it's a beautiful summer day!  It's warm, with a nice breeze.

I am thinking....about how to cut back on spending and save more money.  Once a week when my son Andrew comes over to visit, we are doing our budgeting together to keep each other accountable. 

I am thankful...for my son Christian.  He and I have been reading the Bible together everyday.  It's nice to have that time each day.

One of my favorite things...is listening to my kid's play instruments and sing!  Sophie is playing her Ukulele right now.  When our family gets together, someone always breaks out a guitar (or keyboard, or drums) and it brings so much joy to my soul! 

I am creating...bullet journal spreads.




I am wearing...colorful diamond patterned leggings and a long blue shirt. 

I am reading...The Homemade Housewife by Kate Singh.  I just finished Freckled: A Memoir of growing up wild in Hawaii by TW Neal -best memoir I've read in a while!

 I'm listening to...He Still Does (Miracles)Waymaker, and Here Again.

I am hoping...to go to the beach or do an overnight camping trip with all of my kids before the summer is over!

I am learning...ballet!  I've been taking adult beginner ballet classes once a week for a year now, and starting in September I'll be taking it twice a week!


In my kitchen...Christian is helping me make salsa! The pic below is what I got from the garden today!

 



In my garden...I've been getting lettuce, spinach, jalepino peppers, cilantro, basil, and large and cherry tomatoes!



In the school room...I am busy putting together Sophie's eighth grade portfolio.  She is getting ready for 9th grade! I think we are going to try something new this year. It's a free online curriculum called Easy Peasy All-in-One High School. 

A moment from my day...well from last month. We are celebrating Isaiah's 23rd birthday.
