Welcome to my weekly Slow Day post, inspired by Monica from The Homespun Heart. My Word for 2018 is Slow and, in the spirit of that word, I'm taking one day each week (Wednesday) off — I'll be unplugged and offline and plan to move at a slower pace, take time to do things that refresh me, and just really focus on being present and savoring the moment.
I’m posting this on Sunday instead of Saturday because I was at a Ladies’ Discipleship Retreat all this weekend (more details on that in my Peek in Our Week post which will go up tomorrow!)…
On our way to school drop-offs…
Kathrynne tied for 3rd place in the Science Fair so we got to sneak in the ceremony where they announced the winners and surprise her!
I was supposed to bring snacks to Discipleship Group. I had all these ambitions to bake something, but alas, reality sunk in and I just picked up stuff at Kroger!
We’ve been talking about Identity in our Discipleship Group right now. This week’s lesson really impacted me. You can read more of how here.
After Discipleship Group, I met a friend for lunch. Then, I came back home to take a quick nap — and then it was back to pick up kids from school and to take Silas to testing (he’s likely switching to Kaitlynn’s school next year and they needed to do admissions testing for him).
When I came home, Stephanie from Cheapskate Cook brought us a yummy dinner (how kind was that??) It meant so much to us — and I was thrilled to have some homemade bread since I haven’t made any because of the move.
Then it was off to tackle piles and piles of laundry and moving stuff.
After dinner, I met one friend at a coffee shop for dinner and then another friend for a quick hour after that (since we haven’t seen each other for a few weeks and were desperate to catch up. Sometimes, you just have to squeeze in friend time when it works! This cute coffee tree was at Starbucks!
