We were like super-family this morning. No one had to rush around to get ready, things were calm and steady. We made it to school earlier than usual and just as I was telling the boys how proud of us I was, I lifted Judah’s back pack and felt it strangely light. I had one of those Oprah “Ah-Ha!” moments only in the opposite sense.

No. Snack. In. Bag.

I recounted our morning: I had coffee, I mastered liquid eye liner (mark that down for the books), Little Gingers were fed and diapered…I really have no idea how snack got left out. Especially after mastering the liquid eyeliner…like really? That should prove the morning was on track.

You roll with the punches, go with the flow or whatever and little man got his snack in time for his morning break.

Maybe I forgot because my brain was chocked full of these:

Doily Lamp

Pipe Cleaner DIY 

Chalkboard Book 

BLT-Fried Egg and Cheese Sandwich

This article by Lisa Bloom: How to Talk to Little Girls 

This might be an actual “Ah-Ha” moment for me: Salad In a Jar 

This excerpt from this post: “I will not be judgmental. Again, this is a daily decision. Knowing Jesus, doesn’t make me holy, it just reminds me of the fact that I am as bad a sinner as any and that grace is actually amazing like the hymn says.”
