Someday...

Someday I'm gonna be good at life.

Someday I am going to update this blog with recent pictures which mean that...

Someday I am going to upload my camera pics to my computer in a timely fashion.

Someday I am going to catch up on all my reading and read a whole bunch of books for fun. Truthfully I'm trying that this year and I'm enjoying it, but I still have the pressure of needing to get books read to write a review about them.

Someday I will laugh at myself and how easily disturbed I got over the smallest little details that didn't matter anyway.

Someday I will enjoy having my children not take naps. Or will I?

Someday I will be caught up on all my hobbies and I will be at a loss for what to do. Okay, I'm already laughing at that big fat lie.

Someday I will love being disturbed in the middle of a project or a chapter or nothing and will gladly go run an errand for someone.






































Someday I will make supper without settling one fight.

Someday I will look back and grow nostalgic over the times my children were young.

Someday I will wonder why did I make it so hard? Why did I grow so frustrated? It was just cream cheese dip they dumped on the floor.

Someday I will climb up the stairs all by myself whether I want to or not.

Someday I might be asking to go with Amber instead of vice versa.

Someday I want my children to come to me with their big questions and decisions and thoughts.

Someday I hope that my children look at me as one of their best friends, their confidante.

Someday I'm gonna be that perfect mother who happily spreads out all the pains and glue and the glitter and says, let's have at it.

Someday may never come, but I have today and today is what someday is made of. So today I will try to be a bit more patient, a bit more loving. Today I will enjoy nap time because I am exhausted from the morning's activities. But today, I will settle that fight, break up that pinching session, and clean up one more mess because today is a gift that I have been given and today is a day I want to treasure.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers

The Swindler's Daughter by Stephania H. McGee

  Lillian is raised by her "widowed" mother who wants Lillian to marry slightly above her station so as to secure a good future for both Lillian and her mother.  But then the unexpected happens and Lillian is left the inheritance of her father who has only just now died. She travels to Dawsonville where she is confronted with secrets and a whole new life. She is given community, family, friendships and acceptance, something she has never had before.  It was a fun light read, but I can't say I gained any huge inspiration from it. It was pretty fluffy. Of course, there was Jonah battling his own things and struggling to come to terms with the way his own life was turning out. So you know the end of all that, but on the way there there was some danger and some twists and turns in the plot which added to the story.  I received this book from Revell and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.
