5 Things I'm Loving This Week

1. This Picture of My Kids

These three got themselves up, dressed, washed their hair, fixed it, fed themselves, and got themselves out the door for early service with Jesse at church last week - all on their own! Which meant I ended up having a completely quiet morning all to myself to read and pray and then met them at church for the second service!

Moms of littles: hang in there. I know that it feels like the day will never come when you won't be overwhelmed with changing and bathing and dressing and feeding little people, but the day will come soon when that will all be a memory of the past. And you'll look at your kids and wonder how on earth they grew up and became so self-sufficient!

2. Fun New About My New Book

So, I kind of had a big week last week… not only did I launch my new book, Money-Making Mom, but I also got some very fun and unexpected news related to the book:

3. Thought-Provoking Books

Speaking of books, I finished two different books this past week that I just loved and that really challenged and inspired me - Rising Strong by Brene Brown and Breaking Busy by Alli Worthington. I'll be scoping more about both of these this coming week.

You can see snippets of what I gleaned from quotes I posted on my Instagram feed recently.

4. Your Money-Making Mom Pictures on Social Media

Oh my goodness! I am just loving all of the pictures you all are posting on social media with my book. Honestly, it's a humbling and surreal thing for others to be holding and reading a book that you wrote.

And I just cannot believe that there are already 173 reviews on Amazon!! The way you all have been cheerleading and championing me in this book launch just floors and touches me so much. Thank you for proving, once again, that I have the best readers on the planet. You mean the world to me!

5. My Husband's Kindness to Shop for Me

I posted this on Instagram earlier this week:

How I shop…

Step 1: Make a list of what I need to buy.

Step 2: Text said list to @jessepaine with photos of ideas of what I'm sort of thinking.

Step 3: Sit at home in my comfy pants and comfy chair and get blogging work done while @jessepaine texts me pictures of Silas holding up various items that fit my list criteria.

Step 4: Have a phone call with @jessepaine to decide on the final picks.

Step 5: Try on clothes at home. Be very, very grateful that my husband loves shopping. Celebrate the fact that I stayed out of stores yet another day.

The End.
