It's been a busy day here at the Vandewater house; Brynna "crawling" everywhere, Grant and I making lots of applesauce, and getting my "to do" list done.
Yes, I've made myself a weekly "to do" list, it's the only way I can get everything done. It is divided into days and then each chore that needs to be done is planned out for the entire week. I also made a monthly meal calendar, it's so much easier to look at the calendar, know what I need for groceries and then, know what is for dinner every night. No more stressing at 5:00 trying to decide what's for dinner.
Anyway, back to the applesauce...here are some pictures.
Yummy! I have been studying the "Proverbs 31 Woman" lately (Proverbs 31:10-31). It really makes me feel like I am fulfilling my God given duties as wife and mother when I am busy around the house. I know the motivation for getting everything done is not of myself, but from God...and for that I am very thankful!
"She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness."
Proverbs 31:27

Okay, you need to stop putting up posts like this, you're making us other SAHMs look bad! Wade told me about your lists. I eat the bread of idleness, oops! :)
Seriously, good for you. I hope that someday I will have the motivation to be on top of things. I too find myself scrambling for what to make for dinner when I could so easily have it planned out.
Hey...I have been a SAHM for almost 3 1/2 years, if you were already as proficient as me, I'd be in trouble!!!
You'll get there...you've only been a Mom for 5 months, don't be too hard on yourself :)
