A Woman's Work....

A woman's work is never done.

The voice is my mother's whenever I hear that phrase echo through my mind. I heard it many a time and now I know it to be 100% true.

Pardon me for a break in blogging, but since the weather broke, it seems that energy levels have increased (in the children), there are more dirty clothes and in general, this past week has been non-stop!

There are always.....

Memories to be made...

Disagreements to work out amongst each other...

(She suddenly decided she would rather not be the passenger. He cannot figure out why and is frustrated she will not cooperate. Welcome to the world of women, son. Save yourself the stress-do not attempt to understand. Just go with it and be on your merry way. And please, please do not tattle.)

Toes to tuck back in place....

Laundry on the line {saves pennies, smells like sunshine.}

Dinner to be scrounged up, dished out and put away...

"All great change in America begins around the dinner table."

-Ronald Reagan

Friends {and in this case, a related one!} to enjoy...

Swings to be swung {that may or may not be a word. I do not care either way}...


Early morning snuggles to be enjoyed...


Mantra's to be repeated...


Dessert residue to be removed...


Prospective laundry being revealed before, during and after every meal...



Parties to be planned...
Well, there is rarely a party to be planned in my world, but this week was different. Stay tuned for more on the Dutch Blitz Bonanza that was held at our home last evening. Any work that went into it paled in comparison to the fun that was had. I am grateful for the opportunity I had to whip out my untouched {for some time} love of party planning and for the number of women who, by their very presence, made the end of this week a highlight of this Spring so far!



Thank you for "stopping by" this little Coffee Cottage,
which has hardly been 'bustling' like my real life home.
