Domesticated housewife

I don't pride myself on being a very good housewife. Don't get me wrong I try very hard but I'm not exactly what some may call "traditional". Well Thursday's I get off work early and this is what I was up to today...

First I made our bed. This rarely happens...

Then a little surprise for the hubby when we get in bed ;)

Then I started baking a cake do while it baked I did a little crafting...

Next I washed the dishes...one of my least favorite things to do.

Cake got done and I frosted it. Then decorated it...let's just say that I grossly overestimated how many baby chocolate chips I would need...

Now that all of that is done I guess I'll go for my run.

And that my friends is how I practiced being a good Mormon house wife today ;)

Simplify

Life is a Journey....lately I haven't been finding much joy in my journey. I've been so busy that I hardly slow down to enjoy all of the things that I'm doing to fill my schedule. I feel like I rush from one activity or task to the next with little time in between to actually think about or enjoy what I'm doing. After I got home from my wonderful trip to Wyoming...(Post about my trip to come) I somewhat felt let down. Depressed to be back to the daily grind of my life. A large part of that sadness comes from being homesick and from dearly missing my family. But I think that another part of it came from missing the simplicity of family life in Wyoming.
Starting today I am going to simplify. Cut back of the daily and weekly activities that keep me busy but that take me away from happiness. I need happiness and when I'm not happy I'm afraid that Scott isn't happy. So here's to simplifying and therefore finding more peace and happiness!
