Though we've been on spring break, I haven't really taken a break from work until yesterday.
Before that, I sorted and organized four children's clothing, which resulted in 11 garbage bags filled with out grown clothing {2 for attic storage, 7 for various friends and charity organizations, and 2 for the trash}; and purged and rearranged the back room, which we use for homeschooling.
It has been all work and no play for this momma.
That ended yesterday morning.
The day was filled with creativity and play. To be truthful, there's not much to show for the day. No grand result or major project completed, except for the smile on my face and a more rested posture.
It was a good day, and a good way to spend part of spring break.
Today, the fun continues with an online party. The Ultimate Blog Party 2013 has begun, and like last year, I decided to participate. This party is a great way to mingle and find a few new-to-me and wonderful-to-read blogs. So, in that spirit, if you are visiting from The Ultimate Blog Party,
Welcome to my online space!
As my About Page says:
"This blog is a journal of sorts, a place where I record thoughts, pictures, and the life that surrounds me. With our family and our plethora of activities, the days are never predictable. You may find anything and everything here, but what I really hope you see is God's grace shining through our lives and yours."

It's nice to meet you! Visiting from the UBP, my first time participating. I have a very young blog (but have had four previous blogs so I've walked the block a few times :) I too love photography and teach my four children at home. I'm a wannabe for sure! Blessings.
