Women are like lionesses at the gate of the home. . . . She guards that gate, and things matter to that family if they matter to her. . . . Sisters, you are each like the lioness at the gate. This means that there has to be some prioritizing. I was taught years ago that when our priorities are out of order, we lose power. If we need power and influence to carry out our mission, then our priorities have to be straight.

Big Girl Bed

We have been BUSY! Michael took the whole week off work for Thanksgiving so we could paint, build, sand, and otherwise take over our house with projects. We have been exhausted, but feel very productive. Here's a shot of our garage, aka "Michael's paint workshop" - this is how it's looked since Monday:Not on my published to-do list, but something I've been working on for 2 months now, was finding a cute pink and green bedding set for Shaelyn's bed that will match the room the girls will soon share. My search either found cute pink and green sets that only came in a twin size, were WAY too expensive, or had some kind of character on them (think Disney princesses...). I finally came upon this cute little set at Kohl's and was so excited to put it on Shaelyn's bed. I think she likes her new pink, flowery, big girl bed too!






Here's the big reveal. Shaelyn is excited both about Grandma & Grandpa being here AND about her new bed. I think it's safe to say she's excited...
