Daybook :: It’s Almost Lent
Outside my window …

| God sent us a Valentine one morning on the way to school. It came in the form of a pink and purple sunrise. Thank you, Lord! We love you, too! |
Thanking God for …
* An extra-long weekend and staying in pajamas for longer than usual
* An amazing, first-ever WINE: Catholic Women’s Conference with more than 900 women—a sold-out crowd, inspirational speakers, beautiful music, prayer, confession, laughter, Mass with the bishop and sisterhood

Thinking about …
* How I am going to get back-on-track with Whole30 today. I was gone all day on Saturday, and it was hard to follow the program. I did OK through lunch, but dinner and dessert were off program. I have to say, though, that two full weeks of eating this way has really been a blessing, and I plan to continue through Lent (at least).
* Lent! What will be my focus? I am limiting so much food as it is, I probably will focus on prayer this Lent and spiritual reading … and being more focused in my vocation. How will I encourage my children? I found this lovely FREE printable to share with them. I hope to read more with them, too. What ways can I visually make our home a reminder of this special season we will be in?
Wearing …
* Plaid PJs
* A red fleece sweatshirt
* Red slippers
Reading …
* Momnipotent by Danielle Bean. I am reading this book and accompanying study with five wonderful women. The message of this book is a must for moms! It is filled with truth and encouragement!
* I purchased several books at the conference this weekend, and so my stack of to-read books has grown even taller!
I have set a reading goal on Goodreads: 15 books in 2015. I know it’s not a lot, but I am working on small steps and being realistic in my real life. Are you on Goodreads? If so, let’s connect!
* A grocery list
* A Lenten home
* Lenten plans
* A writing schedule
On the table …
All I can say is that I really have to go to the grocery store!
Plans for the week …
* Momnipotent
* Ash Wednesday Mass
* Adoration
* Grocery shopping & cleaning
Praying for …
* my husband
* my children (by name)
* family and friends, especially those who have asked me to pray for them
* the 900+ women who attended the WINE conference, that their hearts were drawn by God’s love and sent on fire to share Him with others
I am linking up with Jenny at The Littlest Way today!

I haven't hear of those books and I AM NOT LOOKING AT THEM ON AMAZON…I'm not…I can't…really for real this time! Thanks for the link to the printable and look at all those happy women!
Several of these authors were at our women's conference, so I selected books that I'd like to read AND that I could get signed! 😉
I really had to go to the store, too, and it was snowing so hard. I could barely get the cart through the parking lot. I'm exhausted now. It's a good think it's dance night and I don't cook on dance night!
Your conference looks amazing. We have a great women's conference in February, too, and I always chicken out. There is something about the big crowd that makes me anxious. I try to catch most of it on Catholic radio!
I am off to the store today, Barbara! Thankfully, the sun is shining, even though it's very cold … Oh! You should go to your conference. I bet it is wonderful! I do end up exhausted after being around so many people, but it's worth it! At least they broadcast yours; that's great!
I have been enjoying your blog. Just added you on goodreads!
Hi Tacy! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! I will connect with you on Goodreads, too! God bless!
