Mom’s Summer List

16 Wednesday May 2012

Alicia over at La Famille has been doing a Happy Day Challenge for 9 weeks. I have been reading the posts along the way, but I haven’t participated in any of her challenges before today. I remember last summer she created a Summer List of different things she wanted to accomplish in the summer. Her challenge for this week was to create our own lists.

I have been thinking about doing this with my girls, but decided I needed to join in and make a list just for me. So here it is. Just a few things that I want to do this summer.

School is out for the summer next week. My summer vacation begins on Monday with a 21 hour bus trip to Knoxville, TN with my Destination Imagination Team of 7 Fifth Graders. As soon as I get home I have 5 days to wash clothes and pack up my entire family for a summer trip to Orlando.

I hope to start my list during my traveling. I can’t wait for summer.

School is Almost Out for the Summer

We only have one week of school left. The kids are not officially released until Tuesday, May 22nd, but those last two days are full of fun.

Life has been a whirlwind since I went back to work in August after being a stay-at-home mom for 5 1/2 years. It has had its ups and downs. It has had its blessings and its disappointments. But overall, it has been a great year.

I look forward to the upcoming summer break. The girls and I are making a list of the things we want to do in the short break before summer is over and school begins again.

One of the things I am looking forward to most is reading the Bible in 90 Days. I have felt so out of the loop during my blog writing break and I am excited to join some of my favorite blog friends on this journey.

The Bible in 90 Days summer session begins on May 27th, Memorial Day through Labor Day. It is a great time of year for me to join in while school is out for the summer.

There have been no words here in this blog space for over five months. I look forward to sitting quietly with my Bible and letting His Word sink into my soul. I hope that He will lead me to write again.
