Daybook - Advent. But First Let It Snow!

Outside My Window - cloudy. All the leaves from our maple tree are now bagged on the curb awaiting city pick-up.  We spent most of the weekend tidying up the yard for the season.  Finishing up the rest of the backyard today and then I can truly say "let it snow!"  It's supposed to snow tomorrow.

I'm Listening To - the usual morning silence to temper my jumping-off-the-walls mood. Morning person + excitement over my sister's arrival + happiness over a clean house + so many blessings = a very happy Monday. And I've only had a cup of coffee.  Silence is definitely a cure to my morning obnoxiousness hahaha.


The Week Ahead - see equation above!  Did I say my sister is coming from Texas!?  I can't wait!  So lots of family time and getting hyped about our race.  She will get a taste of what it is to run in cold weather not usually seen in her neck of the woods.  Oh yeah, my brother-in-law will be here too.  He is the best brother-in-law in the planet. Now I'm in trouble with all the other ones hahaha.  Actually, I am very blessed with great in-laws. Love you all, if you're reading this.

What's Cooking -  I can't even think about cooking this early.  My fridge is stocked so there will be cooking, just haven't gotten around to figuring it all out.

Homeschool Is Cool - I think there shouldn't be any school in the Fall.  I am digging up old material for Advent.  We love our Advent traditions.  Speaking of which, there's only 20 days 'til then. Do you have candles ready? I got my usual at Hobby Lobby.


Prayers - I re-started my monthly novena offerings through the Seraphic Mass Association.  It's part of a devotion I have to Blessed Solanus Casey.  I wrote about him in 2014 here - https://bottledponderings.blogspot.com/2014/10/pondering-face-of-holiness.html

What I'm Reading - this was a present I bought for my husband a few Christmases ago and now I get to read it -

I'm Thankful For - what am I not thankful for?!  I have a very blessed life.  Despite all the trials and tribulations along the way I cannot begin to tell you how faithful God has been to me.

Great Nature -  Lots of yardwork











On my next post let's talk about Christmas! My heart is ready.
