Sometimes when you are feeling overwhelmed you just need to step back and relax.  I have had trouble getting back into homemaker only mode.  I just stepped back and enjoyed the time with my family.  I put aside everything I wanted to do and focused on what I had to do.

Some straightening up that needs to be attended to.  Piles of boots and winter clothing.

Galatians 1:3-5
"Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,  who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,  to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."

hi Jen, thanks for stopping by my blog today... We love Cracker barrel in this neck of the woods... we can always rely on a high standard of dining there. We actually always stop at the newbrugh bridge Exit in NY on our way to see our daughter at the Cracker barrel there. hahahah, Happy new year and God bless!

yes, definitely keeping the fire fighter families in my prayers right now ... along with so many who are grieving.
I like your advice for homemaking tips: I definitely forget to just STOP, RELAX,and reevaluate sometimes ... it sure beats getting all frustrated.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Keeping them all in our prayers, what a horrible tragedy :(

I have learned to stop and take a step back, you have to if you want to keep your sanity as a homemaker :)

Happy New Year Jen, Matt, Katrina, Hannah and Andrew :)
