back to the basics.

personal prayer.
scriptures.
early morning journaling.
pondering. sweet beautiful quiet reflective pondering.
family prayer to start the day.
meeting the boy at the door, or even beating him home (no more fending for oneself for a bit...especially when the one is a middle school boy.  am i asking for trouble??).
homework complete and mom(me) checking more consistently.
family home evening every monday.  simple, important, nonnegotiable.
evening walks whenever possible.
only 2 nights away(mutual and bball).
family prayer to bookend the day.
grade.
pick up.
read.
personal prayer.
bed.


somewhere in there i will incorporate exercise.
for now, this list is my personal goal.
i will change.
my family will change.
i will change.

i really just looked up and thought...when did we even STOP doing these things?  how does that happen?

still hunting for the J-O-B. 
there is one waiting for me. 
i know my answer is hidden in the blessings of tithing.  just waiting for the enlightenment:)
back to the basics.

Beautiful Stephanie! We have been trying to do the same and wondering how such easy things can seem so dang hard some days! Hope you're doing well, I just love you :)
