I am already seeing Doorbuster Specials for Black Friday in my inbox. Christmas commercials hit the airwaves as soon as the little goblins were tucked into bed Halloween night. That’s rushing things just a bit for me, so instead I’m working hard to adopt an attitude of gratitude each day, looking for ways I can encourage and connect with my family while I still have them here under my roof. Along with that ‘savor the moments’ mentality comes the need to plan ahead a little. That’s where tips like those shared in the post that received the most clicks is perfect timing for me. Check it out yourself – 10 Ways to Improve Your Christmas Right Now.
My featured posts this week are:
- Where Do All Those Dishes Come From? is a post by a homeschool mom who looks back over her week, sharing the funny things, the good things and the things that make you scratch your head in wonderment. (she invites you to link up with here, too!)
- Rockport Revisited – Rebuilding after Disaster is a post that gives us a first-hand view of the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and helps us put some things in life into perspective.
- How Journaling Helps Me is a post full of great ideas for the why and the how when it comes to journaling. Simple non-fussy ways you can get your thoughts and goals down on paper.
