A week in the life



Easter is fast approaching!
I have a busy week, started with church for palm Sunday followed by a delicious lunch and visit with my inlaws.
*side note, those in the west valley of you've never had Big Buddha you need to! So delicious. Here's the website 

Monday was school for Brielle, come home and get day chores done,

Today, Tuesday, I took my sister to the airport unexpectedly, having to deal with rush hour traffic. Got home did chores, tonight Brielle has Awana while I have a meeting about women's bible study which starts Thursday.
We did manage an at home easter egg hunt this afternoon... for some reason we cannot manage to get a good picture though...



Yes, K is pantsless... potty training 

Tomorrow, Wednesday, we have a playdate at 3 which comes after school, lunch, chores and kaitys nap. Wednesday evening I have another meeting/fellowship with other ladies from church.

Thursday Entwined (ladies  bible study) begins! I'm helping lead this spring like the fall and I'm very excited for the opportunity to serve women again.
So excited for our study it's a Beth Moore and definitely looks like a challenge (in a good way) I'll try and share what I learn as we go

Friday is good Friday so no school for Brielle, have a playdate all morning with friends at an indoor play place.
Friday evening I'm having a Facebook Usborne party.

Saturday we have a birthday party in the morning.
Then easter sunday!

And somewhere in the week I'd like to get eggs decorated and make sure the girls hear the Easter story.


Many ask (including myself) "how do you do it all?" The short answer is I don't. I do my very best to get every single thing done perfectly but let's be honest it's flawed and not perfect.
I struggle with getting stressed out when things don't go as planned but since baby #3 has joined us I think I've let a lot of it go. By the grace of God I'm more patient, slower to anger and have more self control. I'm a work in progress, far from perfect, but I've truly found having a close relationship with Jesus changes your mind. It really, really, truly does!
I've definitely noticed that while I'm doing a good job of staying in the word my attitude is better. Now, like I said, not perfect but it's much better
If you don't have the youversion bible app you NEED it. It makes quiet time/devotions/bible time whatever you want to call it it makes growing in Jesus very convenient.
This is the plan I'm working on now; Easter: The Worship Initiative http://bible.com/r/2v8

A Day In The Life;
Each day, I wake up at 530, feed baby E who isn't really ready to wake up for about 10-15 minutes. Do my daily quiet time from youversion app, Wake B get her dressed and fed. If K wakes up I get her dressed and fed other wise she stays home with daddy. While they're eating u see if E will eat more cause I don't want her screaming the whole 25 minutes to and/or from Bs school. Get home do my daily cleaning and "chores of the day", then go pick up B (I cannot WAIT for full day in the fall!) All while potty training 2 year old K and feeding E every 2 hours. That's JUST the morning! We still have lunch, homework, play,bath, bed etc. Haha 3 is chaos everyone. 2 was busy but adding a 3rd has been exceptionally challenging. But we take it one day at a time and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My husband has had paternity leave since baby E joined us back in Janaruy, hes been home 9 weeks! We are blessed that his work offers that much time and it has been so wonderful having him around to help out. There's a saying, you may have heard it, 
"absense makes the heart grow fonder"  lets just say I'm ready for the growing fonder ;) 
(Love you honey)
Thanks for reading!
