blog reading.

Hi Friends.

Melissa here again. Got your tea? A few minutes?

Ok. Let's go!

Most mornings start with a little blog reading. Some like to read books. As I said before I'm not much of a book reader, although I am reading a few books. But as for blogs, I'd like to share a little of what I'm reading on the world wide web.

The Day I Decided To Stop Eating Kale

Smarter Each Day

If you know me well you know I eat fairly healthy. 

And I try to avoid processed foods & fake sugars. 

I also cannot go without dark chocolate and Chai tea for more than a few hours day.

 I really enjoyed her perspective on the heath food trends. 

I've been there. 

I once avoided sugar for 3 months during a pregnancy. 

Do we really drive ourselves nuts sometimes?

Why do we do that to ourselves? 

I mean there is a balance of course. 

And... 

I do eat Kale/Spinach in my smoothies. ;)

This Should Be Your First Though When You Take Your Kids Shopping

Mommy's Me Time

I absolutely love Amber's blog. 

It's been a super encouragement during my nutty amazing days with the littles. 

Yesterday we actually ventured out, I know shocking!

And I went grocery shopping, and I took my three littles.  

Even more shocking!

And it wasn't super crazy. 

It's all about perspective Ladies!

 It really is. 

How to Serve Your Spouse

Simply Clarke

Serving our Husband's is a toughie sometimes.  

Especially with a not complaining/selfless attitude.

And I've been recently convicted about how I need to change.

My own husband, not to put him on a pedestal, knows how to serve. 

And wholeheartedly. 

Sometimes I wish I had that kind of drive. 

And serving my husband is vital. 

Very vital!

I love Marquis's blog Scripture Entries. 

She does them often, and they are oh so beautifully written. 

She is also pregnant with her first baby, a girl, and due very soon. 

Yay!

Dressers Around the House

The Nester

I read Myquillyn's (don't you just adore her name?) book The Nesting Place. 

If you haven't and love decorating a home, or just own one and need to decorate it, this one is for you. 

You can get the book here. 

I literally read it in like 2 days. 

It's that good.

The Simplified Organizer

Emily Ley

Emily Ley's blog is excellent too. 

Mainly because I love the simplified lifestyle. 

But I had to post the link to her planner. 

Isn't it gorgeous?

It may be my first official Homeschool purchase for the next year,

 since Ashlyn will be in First Grade, ahh! 

(that was an excited "ahh" mixed with a 'I have no idea what I'm getting into "ahh"')

Thanks for following along.

It's been fun!
