So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God - 1 Corinthians 10:13
Outside My Window - snow on the ground, on the trees, on top of ornaments. It's a winter wonderland and I can't wait to go for a walk.
I'm Listening To - the swishing and gurgling of the dishwasher and the steady hum of a space heater. Our heat went out last night. Someone is coming to look at it this afternoon. Fortunately, it hasn't been very cold so we are not in danger of freezing to death. I do fear freezing the Christmas spending account if heating repair gets costly.
The Week Ahead - it's exam week people! My highschoolers are ready, able, and just done with school for the year. My homeschoolers are officially out. It's a week of cooking, baking, and decorating. Yes, decorating! We still only have outdoor decor and a tree bought last night. We got our tree from a tree lot which is not our usual. I should say I handed my card to the kids and have them walk over to the tree lot. Like I said, unusual. But as they say, when life gives you lemons, you just roll with it. And that's been the theme of my year, rolling with life and settling in to a possibly new normal.
Homeschool Is Cool - it's especially cooler this week because we are officially on Christmas break.
What's Cooking - as I sit here my kitchen smells delicious! I am slow roasting a Boston pork butt for eight hours. It just so happens that the heat of the oven is also keeping my house warm. It's a win-win both for empty tummies and cold bodies. Also, daughter and I are having a baking marathon. Her list is mostly breads and mine sweet treats. It will be so fun. I may have bought all the sale butter at Aldi. The oldest child also asked if we can have a "beef stew party" to celebrate the end of exam week. Apparently, my beef stew is legendary amongst his friends so who am I to not live up to my fame?! I would like to make beef stew for the world, it may initiate world peace. I'm pretty sure feeding teenagers a good stew is my path to saving the world 😁. The question remains though, of how much stew to make to feed a horde of athletic teenage boys. I will report next week.
Mom Treat - so I made a Christmas list, which is something I haven't done in years. I really want things this year. My consumerist heart beats once again. This heart is
Prayers - for you. You all know who you are.
