The Things They Say

I forgot to post this a while back but thought these comments were just too good to forget:

Lily asked me, “Who’s being good?” I believe I then raised my hand and with a big smile on her face she replied,  “You’re gonna go to a special home!” I laughed as I thought this is probably the same way this conversation will go in about 50 years.

I told Clara that my laptop died. She then asked, “On the cross?”

Later that day one of the toy’s batteries died (finally). I told the girls the batteries had died and Lily excitedly declared, “Then they will go to heaven!”

And I loved the VBS song of Christ on Calvary that Lily kept singing as “Go and Tell the story of the Christ on Calorie.” It must be that new diet of hers…

Oops, I did it again….made the perfect “frappuccino” and didn’t write down the recipe. Sorry. It was good.

I used my prebrewed cold coffee concoction courtesy The Pioneer Woman, it’s nice and strong for this. (I’ve wanted to make a post just on the greatness that this new way to drink iced coffee is but haven’t gotten around to it, sorry again. Check it out though. It has been worth the effort!)

Cultivating Simplicity

Isn’t making life more “simple” something we all would like to do? Maybe. Unfortunately, some of us seem to be blessed with the ability to always make things more complicated. In an attempt to cultivate simplicity in my already complicated life, I often find myself looking for better ways to do things, whether it’s reorganizing an out of control closet or making my bread making process easier (thank you Jenny!!). I’m loving how quick and easy it is to pull a pre-made flour bag out of the freezer and dump it into the bread machine! Yay!

I think my next move will be more slow cooker meals. Genius, but this will require forethought, something my “blessed with the ability to always make things more complicated” brain doesn’t typically allow.
