{It's been so long since I have linked up. :( I have missed this journal and you all so much! Thank you Sue for creating this. I am hoping to not miss any more.}
In my life this week...
We enjoyed some my laid back fun. We started the week, on Sunday, with a sleepover at our house that resulted in some much needed mommy hang out time when it was time to pick up. We then just hung out the rest of the week. It was glorious to do nothing honestly. My husband and I enjoyed a trip the dentist on Wednesday and last night there was a birthday party to attend. As well as some adult hang out time with friends. Where I should add the kids did fantastic together even though we left around 10pm.
We have also been working on reorganizing all over our house and gearing up for next school year. Working on our budget and cash envelope system as well.
It's been an awesome week.
My favorite thing this week was...
That we completed even all of our Science mini-books as review. Even though we finished school last week we wanted a quick refresher before we gave a little brain break.
So ready for the break now. ;)
I'm reading...
I am reading Candace Cameron Bure's new book Reshaping It All. I am loving it so far but really I wish I had more down time to just curl up and get lost in it.
I'm cooking...
Ummm.... Tonight I am making Fish Tacos. The last 2 weeks I did not stick to my meal plan whatsoever but am hope full for these next too. I plan on posting my planner tomorrow.
I am grateful for...
Honestly as corny as it may sound... my family. There is just something about this week that has seemed to take the ordinary "I'm grateful for them" to new exciting heights. I guess you could say it has just been a period of wonderful growth for us as God revealed more of his will for us this week. A renewing love and appreciation all the way around.
A photo, link, or quote to share...
This week since I didn't pick up my camera at all, except for my Sweet Shot, I have a quote to share that struck me this week.
"Sometimes God redeems your story by surrounding you with people who need to hear your past so it doesn't become their future." - Jon Acuff {a member of the Dave Ramsey Team}
I have found this to be so true in our own story. Such true true words.
Hope you have had a fantastic Summer so far!!

Thank you so much for leaving a comment on my site! I'm hoping that I can get my act together to organize my home and classroom before we begin school again in August. BTW, I love your location description and your "little feet" on your Blogger profile! I'm glad to see that you're planning to link-up to Sue's meme. I love it too!

sounds like a really nice week at your house :) Funny, we just started the cash envelope system this month. I was doing ok with it, but dh is a linear/engineer guy, very neat and all those envelopes finally got to him. We switched last week to small notebooks with a page for each envelope and we minus out what we've used. it was kind of funny to watch him squirm with the chaos!
The book Reshaping it all caught my eye on your sidebar, I'm going to click over and check it out. I hope you do a review when you are done!
