Sometimes when I feel the urge to blog I want to empty out all of my feelings and then sometimes I just want to share what I am thinking! The last 2 weeks I have been a stay-at-home-momma and I am loving it (enter the McDonald's theme song). Since I have been home I have enjoyed keeping our home clean and our family some what organized but I have also been thinking about some of my favorite things that I have not been able to stop and fully enjoy since I was working.
So...the first of many, I'm sure...
Brannon's Top 10 Favorite Things (today...there will be new favorite at any time without notice)
10. Quiet...do you hear that? NO! Because there is nothing to hear...at my house. I love the laughter, chatter and even the crying and whining and screams of my children but to just have quiet is wonderful. I get to reflect and just be in praise to the Lord for the moment of quiet...and the times that are not quiet.
9. A clean home! It's so nice to have the time to clean our home when my children are at preschool! When I was working I had to clean when I was home and my sweet son, Mason would say "Mommy, you always need to clean...but I want you to play legos with me!" So I would stop cleaning to play legos and then it would seem like the mess would get bigger since I decided to play instead of clean. But today...the house is clean and I can play WHATEVER Mason and Annie want to play when they get home!
8. Supper plans! I am so excited about knowing what is for dinner before everyone in my family says "Mom...what's for dinner? I am SOOOO starving". I have our meals planned for pretty much the next week or so! It's so nice to eat a planned meal! It makes me feel like a better mom and...we stay out of the McDonald's drive through a lot more!
7. I heart The Pioneer Woman's blog and recipe book! I can't seem to get enough of her! I feel like if she was in South Carolina that we would be instant BFFs! I just love her! Check her out http://thepioneerwoman.com/
6. Hot pink nail polish! I bought it for Annie and we have gotten much use out of it! It makes me feel all girly!
5. Short hair! My short hair cut was kind of an accident...but 3 days after the "chop" I found myself falling in love with my new do. Now, I can't seem to grow my hair long but I am SO ok with that! I heart short hair!
4. Proverbs 31 Ministries! I love checking my email to see my daily devotion that encourages me to be that Proverbs 31 woman that we all wish we could be. The devotions are so real and I can relate to just about every one of them in my own life and walk with the Lord. It's such a wonderful way to start my morning on the right foot!
3 & 2. Mason & Annie! Duh! They are my little sweethearts and everyday they say things that just make my heart melt! Today when I was getting Annie out of her carseat she said...and I quote "Mommy, you are the prettiest best girl ever". I mean...what in the world? She is just the sweetest thing EVER! Mason is in a stage where he makes it very clear that he does NOT want a kiss when I drop him off at school...so this morning he said "Mom, just a hug, ok?" And so I sadly agreed and gave him a big hug...right before he pulled away to run as fast as he could away from me and in to his classroom...I stole a kiss from his forehead!!! He laughed and said "Aw man, you got me" as if I had shot him on the battle field! I am just thankful he laughed and did not get mad at me for embarassing him in front of all the bookbags that were in the hall to see me kiss my baby boy! LOL
1. Being Mrs. Matt Edmonds! I love being married! Ever since I knew what a wedding was I wanted to be married. Once I grew up and knew that a wedding meant that you had to love the same person till you DIED...I took it a little more seriously...and started praying for the man that God designed for me. But I have to say...the last 6 years have been wonderful! We have been through many ups and a couple of downs...but with each "down" I just got excited because I knew that God had big plans for us to grow closer as a couple and closer to Him! I am a strong believer that God provides hardships to make you stronger for other seasons of life that are to come. If you give Him the glory and hand the problem over to Him...He will reward you with happier days and the vision and guideance to deal with other issues perfectly.
Praising God from whom all blessings flow!!!!!!!!!!!!
