The Joy of Womanhood

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."

-Margaret D Nadauld, YW General President

Getting Back on Track

It seems that I am having a hard time cramming everything into my days! Which basically means that my blogs have been neglected. Hopefully, now that I've got another task marked off my list, I can be better about that!

We decided to move the office downstairs, so that we could actually use it while Braxton was sleeping. And, of course, I have the great idea that I need to wash the walls, paint and get everything all situated before we can move it down there.
I was thinking this would be an easy task and wouldn't take very long... however, I did not take into account that I have a little 15-month old helper.... or the fact that I tend to sign up for more than I realize. I decided it would be really fun to have it be more of an old world style, so I did Venetian Plaster. It looks really cool, but it took forever! So needless to say, three weeks after I started, the new office is finally painted. It also didn't help that we went on vacation for a few days. It always seems to take me a little bit to get back on track with my chores..

This last weekend I did manage to get the desk and computer moved down, but now comes the great task of organizing everything.... hopefully I can accomplish that a lot quicker.

I wanted to post a picture of our nice new office, but I really don't want everyone to see the big mess that it is right now. So, when I get it all organized, I will post a picture for ya all to see!
