This....

is what I'm doing at this very moment:
listening to Jewel (Pieces of You) and menu-planning.
Oh, there is also a cup of coffee involved. And three sleeping children.
Maybe four, but you never really know what this "fourth" one's sleep/wake status is these days.

It smells like Christmas in our house- thank you apple butter cooking away in the crockpot!

This is what I'm trying to do, at all moments:
- Teach children though own actions (it is way harder than it sounds)
- Be content in current situation (I think I need a bigger house, but I don't)
- Move, think, act slowly (keeps chaos at bay)
