I have had a simply lovely week off. I am wondering to myself why I don't do this more often. Oh yeah, cause I have a job. I have cleaned my house, hung wall hangings, fixed up my front flower gardens and visited my sister-in-law. Big "wahoo" on the cleaning the house part. I had really fallen behind on that... *gross* Even though I had five whole days off, I still didn't have enough time to get everything done that I had wanted. I didn't sort through my clothes or Joshua's clothes. I've been meaning to go through my little guy's things for a while... I also didn't get my peas, lettuce or radishes planted, which I want to do real soon. Adam tilled the garden for me though, so now it's just up to me. I had wanted to have two mulch bins built, but I would need some help for that. And I need to stake up our baby fruit trees soon, before they are perpetually bent over. (Poor little trees.) Having this week off just reinforces my dream of being a stay-at-home Mom. I love it just that much. I have more time to be creative and I feel like a much better housewife if my house is actually somewhat clean. Being creative to me merely means doing what I love, like gardening or hanging random windows on my walls as decorations. That is my creative outlet... Oh and as a side note, I hope to have a yard sale real soon.

Some Time at Home
I have had a simply lovely week off. I am wondering to myself why I don't do this more often. Oh yeah, cause I have a job.

Are you selling anything good?
Hey Beth...I just saw this idea and thought you might like it.
oh nice!!!
Looks great!
I always thought it would be great to be a stay at home mom too, but it never happened. I was very grateful to be able to cut back to 2 days a week when they were very young still though. Aren't you usually part time? Fortunately you get to bring him with you most of the time. :)
It's been full time for the past two months. Although I am grateful to be able to add to the family income, I'd rather be home. Home is where my heart is.
I hope to join you for a yard sale. :)
And, I like your windows.
I Love this idea Beth!! I just wish I had more wall space.Turned out Great!!
