I have missed linking up the past couple of months. I’ve done some
traveling and just been busy and Home Sanctuary has been pushed to the side. My home has suffered as a result, so I am back and motivated! It’s been a week that I have stayed caught up and I am determined to keep going this time! I loved this task. What fun being creative in ways to create change! What was your favorite change? I even gave myself permission to change my dinner plans!
Life has been busy! Two girls in high school marching band means about 8 hours of practice a week, plus competitions (12-15 hour day on Saturdays) and weekly football games (another 6 hours). One of these same band kids also does cross country (15-20 hours a week), plus classes starting at 6:45 a.m. There is no “down time” and I can’t quite remember the last time either of these kids watched TV. 
Our Wii has more dust on it than I’d care to admit to. It is not uncommon for homework to be finished at midnight, leaving me with two girls who are slowly wearing out. The good news is that band and cross country will both end at the same time, with the state XC meet being the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It looks like our team will be participating, but the meet next Thursday will be the test. Our daughter (Kaylie) has had her best season ever and we pray she stays healthy and uninjured for the rest of the season!
I have also launched my new Etsy shop – scroll down to the next post to see some of the goodies I have for sale! If you’re in the market for a cozy baby blanket, let me know! If you don’t see one that you like, message me and let’s see what we can find! Coming soon…decorative pillowcases – a fun gift idea for all ages!
Have a blessed week!
