The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ 5 October  

Posted by domestic.blizz in


For Today...


Outside my window... it is overcast and starting to turn a little cool. Seem to be having a bit of a cooler week weather wise this week after the warmer temperatures we have become used to.

I am thinking... about how many weeks there are left between now and Christmas and how far the money needs to stretch to meet all our expenses.

I am thankful for... each new day and the opportunities that it presents. This year is just whizzing by so fast. Kyle is due to start school next year and I am enjoying every moment of his remaining time at home.

From the kitchen... I an on the search for a chocolate chip cookie recipe. Does anyone have one to share?

I am wearing... a blue embroidered top and denim capris.

I am reading... Daddy's Little Matchmaker by Roz Denny Fox.

I am remembering... Kyle's younger days as I look through some of his photos in his photo album with him.

I am hoping... to come up with some ideas to make some Christmas cards. Fast running out of time to get creative.

I am creating... a clutter free desk. Things seem to be piling up on it and I need to get it cleaned off. Can't think creative thoughts while being surrounded by clutter.

On my mind... Zac only have 5 more weeks off school before they break for the summer school holidays. Wondering where Zac might be able to apply to put his name down for a part time job.

Noticing that... the grass has dried up and turned brown. Won't need to worry about having to mow the lawn for a while. if we are in for another long, dry summer.

Pondering these words... Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. - John Wooden

Around the house... there is Thomas the Tank Engine train set sprawled all over the lounge floor. Kyle loves nothing better than tipping over last piece out on to the floor before he can start playing with it.

One of my favourite things... a clean and tidy kitchen bench to greet me each morning.

From my picture journal...

Zac loves his wrestling and was beside himself with excitement to receive the complete Summerslam Anthology for his birthday.

The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ 28 September

For Today...

Outside my window... it is a hot and sunny day which is a great start to another new week.

I am thinking... about what this week might have in store for us all. Zac is eagerly awaiting Saturday as it is his birthday and he will be turning 16.

I am thankful for... Daryl going to the doctor to have his eye checked out and find that it isn't something that requires surgery and will hopefully fix itself with time.

From the kitchen... I am desperate for tempting food ideas for Kyle. There is so little variety in his diet and it is so hard to try and tempt him with new foods to try. If it involves a lot of chewing then he doesn't even want to attempt it.

I am wearing... a navy t-shirt and denim shorts.

I am reading... The Quilter's Homecoming by Jennifer Chiaverini. Have enjoyed this series of books. If only I could quilt myself. I would love to own a hand stitched quilt.

I am hoping... that Zac has a fantastic day at Dreamworld on Saturday.

I am creating... a list of things to organise for Zac's birthday.

I am praying... that it won't be much longer before Kyle is fully toilet trained.

Around the house... we are having trouble with Kyle at the moment with his toilet training and hoping that it won't take too long for a break through. At night time lately when he is in bed reading his books before lights out we find out he is doing otherwise. He has taken to wanting to paint his bedroom walls with his poos. Not quite sure how to prevent this from happening. Open to any and all suggestions.

One of my favourite things... making sure our bills are all paid.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Not too many plans for this week. It is Zac's birthday on Saturday and he has arranged to go to Dreamworld with a couple of his friends.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...


Kyle must be looking forward the temperatures getting hotter and hotter this summer so he is coming up with creative ways to help keep himself cool. LOL....
