Where's the Love? Wednesday {3.2.11}

What I'm loving...

Max's raspy voice...even though I'm not loving the cold that's causing it.

Can't close his mouth if he wants to breath

Trying to act happy

Max's new favorite activities - clapping, waving and standing...kind of.

Max's new sounds...even if they do sound a little like dada.

This blog about food and this blog about counting your blessings - even in a storm

A book about the Holy Spirit

and a book about thanking God in everything

Thoughts of spring and going on walks with my husband and a stroller...and our growing-too-quickly baby in the stroller.

My sister not leaving me hanging and adding a link to my last Where's the Love? post.  Love you, Betsy!

Tuesday's Treasure

Today's treasure is Serving His Children in Masese, Uganda.  Their mission is to "serve food to the hungry, hope to the hopeless and rest to the weary.  To be a place of refuge, love and encouragement where hope is not just given but becomes a lifestyle." 

They have a feeding program, medical program and a malnutrition rehabilitation program.  Please watch this video to learn how God is using this organization to be His hands and feet.

Motivation

My friend, Abby, introduced me to a website that has a daily cleaning schedule that you can download for cheap.  I started it in the fall of last year and slowly got away from following this super easy schedule.  

I am not a motivated person.  I'm very content with putting things off - sorry Wes.  In this season of my life my work is my husband, my boy and my home...and some occasional cakes.  I want to do it well and right now I don't feel like I'm doing too hot.

So with spring on it's way...wishful thinking I know...I have a renewed desire to work harder at the job God has given me.  

This is my Monday chore list.

Change dishcloth/towel

Change hand towels in bathrooms

Inventory refrigerator contents and
plan meals around leftovers

Vacuum main/public rooms
on 1st floor

Replenish toilet paper in bathrooms

Clean toilets

Clean jewelry

I just purchased this book.

and I'm going to do this.

"She senses the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day."  Proverbs 31: 18 (the Message)

Where's the Love? Wednesday {2.23.11}

This is what I"m loving this week.

Max's cheek and thumb get majorly chapped from sucking his thumb A LOT.  Aquaphor works wonders.

Seriously - if Max could have only one toy, it would be these things.  He never gets bored with them. 

Peek-a Who? is Max's favorite book of choice.  He chooses it every time.  I'm not kidding - if I hold up this book and any other book, he always grabs for this one.  If I make an executive decision to read another book, he is always looking around to see where this book is.

I found this easy recipe for hummus.  Perfect snack w/ veggies and crackers.

This is my favorite blog right now.  God has definitely given her a gift of writing.  Check it out and be encouraged.

My good friend, Rachel,  asked me to make a cake for her grandpa's 89th birthday.  Loved making it for my friend and for her sweet grandpa.   

Nothing says Grandpa like plaid, right?

 I heard this in church on Sunday.  "God has always wanted his people to live differently because of their heart for Him." (not to earn His love.  So glad I don't have to earn anything.  I'd be in big trouble.)

My boy is clapping and it makes me smile.
