Joining in this week's Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind around here and will continue to be for the next month or so. We went from possibly having one child headed to college this fall to having both our oldest children headed to two different colleges a week apart. So, a lot of big changes around here.
The Weather:
Today is gorgeous out, sunny and in the 80's. The humidity has finally broken a bit; at least for a couple days.
Outside my Window:
Sunny & green. The bunnies and groundhogs have been very active today. We have a mulberry tree and the fallen berries attract many little critters.Right Now I am:
Blogging, chatting with my oldest girlie.
Thinking and Pondering:
Oh...so much; from what needs to be done in the next few weeks to how this week will go.
Podcasts I'm listening to this week:
Hoping to catch up on Inside the Pastors' Study
Also listening to Cultivate by Kelly Minter
My kids also enjoy Adventures of the Starkeepers from Elevation Church.

Last week we took a daytrip to an aquarium a couple hours away. We really like this aquarium because there are indoor and outdoor exhibits. The kids really enjoyed the sea lion show.
Highlight from Last week:
This past week was Vacation Bible School at our church. It's always a lot of fun to see all the kids having such a great time learning Truths from God's Word.Bible Verse/Devotional Quote:
This verse is such an encouragement. We may not know what our future holds but God does and His plans are wonderful, faithful and sure.
Kids preparing to go away to college
Logistics of other kids staying with family members.
Wisdom for parenting.
I hope it all goes well with your children and their college decisions! I will have to checkout that Podcast. my husband is a Pastor so we like to hear other pastors, especially in a casual setting! VBS is always a blessing, but also always very busy! I hope you have a wonderful week and get some rest in with all the busy things going on!
