Today is the perfect day to try something new. But what? It's rainy and cool outside today, so it's bound to be an indoor day for the most part. Three of my girls are still lounging in their jammies and have been paying very close attention to Babar and Sponge Bob. My tiniest is having her morning nap and I'm not even jealous. My coffee is delicious and the house is kinda tidy. The laundry needs my love and attention, so that will be a bit of a time filler for me...but I need something else. Something I haven't yet tried.
I LOVE the Internet. Love it! If you are stuck in the house being held hostage by uncooperative weather, then the Internet is the perfect tool to get your butt moving. I have a website that I visit regularly; Mennonite Girls can Cook. It's a blog that I follow that offers tons of recipes, and better than that, they are all recipes from the Mennonite culture. My Gram is Mennonite and has made a huge majority of these recipes for her family and they are some of my favorite meals from when I was a kid. What a fantastic way to spend a rainy day, making comfort food that reminds you of your childhood. That could be something I do today, a new recipe.
Another site I check as often as I can; flylady.com. Basically the most in depth and comprehensive website on house cleaning and organizing I've come across. The only issue there is that any ideas or inspiration I gain from this site will inevitably lead to cleaning. Nothing new and interesting about that. So nope. Not today.
Time to research! I feel like building something. That may be because I have a ton of shingles parked in my drive patiently waiting for a weekend installation. I feel stagnant and useless when I am surrounded by building material and I am doing nothing with them. Gotta do something to use some of these materials and better my home. This could be an interesting direction to take.
I'm off to find inspiration and motivation to better my home, my day, and my spirit. I'll keep you posted!
