Busy February Weekends

As much as I try to keep our weekends relaxed and at home,

inevitably there are places to go,

people to meet,

and birthdays to celebrate.

This month has been no different.

Many times there are multiple activities overlapping at the same time. 

Don't get me wrong.

I don't resent having friends who invite us to things!!!!
I just love staying home all day and value that time of regrouping and refreshing

for the upcoming week. 

Of quietly waking up and enjoying unhurried mornings that are less stressful.

Even though we "homeschool,"

our children go to their co-op every morning to complete seat work

and to participate in some traditional classes.

So we are leaving our home every day.

Even though we are back and grounded by lunchtime,

it's still the momentum of getting prepared to leave,

packing supplies,

getting up and doing chores and thinking about meals

and getting out the door.
Then it's the transition of everyone returning home at the same moment

hungry and needing their space.
Weekends are my day {Saturday} to catch up on necessary baking,

meal prep, and laundry.

Sometimes I'm cool enough to get all that done during the regular weekdays

along with everything else we are doing.

But most of the time.....not.

We are so blessed with opportunities for fun

and many friends that enrich our lives!!

Thanking the Lord for our busy {and not bored} days!!
