Thinking, Playing, Reading

Thinking:  My goal this school year is to do all these things-get outside, take a nap and get enough sleep at night, fresh air!, exercise and eat right.  A walk talks care of sunshine, air and exercise!

Playing:

Janey turned SEVEN, and we celebrated with a very simple birthday party which I enjoyed thoroughly because it was SIMPLE.  Her favorite gift from us were Legos-I thought I was finished with Legos in my life, but she LOVES them.  And I’ve said it before, I think they are worth every penny-concentration, step-by-step direction following, and patience.  And sorting, and neatness, and perseverance.  I (or someone around here) built the first set she got with her and then helped with the second, and now she is good to go.) . I sort of find it relaxing too, even if I am just sitting next to her “helping” (which means doing nothing but sitting next to her).  It’s quiet one-on-one time that we both treasure.

Lego Dollhouse

(Save $26 off this dollhouse…some of the Lego Friends seriesare on sale for really good prices!!!!   Doing a little early Christmas shopping myself.)

Great birthday gift to stash away:

Lego Friends Emma’s Art Stand

$12.99 save $7.00

Reading:


Prairie Fires

I am reading this right now and LOVING it.  The “real” not for children account of Laura’s life-the prairie was the simple life but NOT the easy life.  I can’t put it down.

    Last school year meant all of my kids at home still are out of the house by 6:30 so I modified my work schedule and routine to walk the dog every morning after everyone leaves. It has now just become part of the routine and I rarely miss a day, even if I can only do a shorter 1 1/2 miles vs our normal 2 1/2! Definitely get air, exercise, and usually sun! My walk often takes me around our lake and it's nice to pause and take in the beauty of the water. I listen to interesting podcasts or an audio book so its me time but exercising the dog as well!!

    Nice motivation on starting some early shopping. Would love to hear how your revamped Christmas gift giving has worked for you – something to read, wear, etc?? As my kids get older this appeals more and more…I want to give meaningful and useful gifts not just stuff!

    Definitely suggest The Honey Bus as a great read!!! I think you will love it.

    PS – you'd love Prairie Girl- the unabridged autobiography that LI Wilder wrote before the children's chapter books It never got published in her lifetime but was recently published. Amazing
