Monday.



I was 12 weeks into my pregnancy yesterday.
I'm officially in my second trimester now. :)

I need to go shopping for new pants. and new shirts.
and a new purse...a purse is very important for pregnancy you know.

We tapped the sugar maple tree in our front yard....I've spent the day boiling sap.
My house is steamy and smells like we're about to eat pancakes.

It was 63 degrees today...but very, very windy.
When it gets warm in northern Illinois....it gets windy. Welcome to March/April.

We've decided to take spring break this week.
It was a rash decision...which is fine because I want to get my house back in order and organized.
I feel like I've spent the past few weeks napping..oh wait, I have!

I don't live in NYC, but I thought this list was fun to read.

I washed blankets today that have been in the laundry pile since February...
...see! I told you I needed to get my house in order!

I've eaten one too many chocolate chip pecan cookies today.

How true this is.  It's so easy to care more about what people think than what God thinks.

Hope your week is off to a good start.
Happy Monday.

  1. Beautiful 12 weeks along you! I laughed to hear how important purses were for a maternity wardrobe ;) Happy Spring! And yes, always seeking to fear God, and care about what He thinks. The other is too easy.
