A New Adventure Begins! To be continued!

No, I'm not pregnant :-) But there is a big change that happened today! I'll you all about it later. I've been BUSY! Baking lots of bread and trying out new recipes, lots of talking with my Sweetheart about the "change", LOTS of prayer in the last few days. Looking forward to the new doors that have been opened and also learning to trust God even more for the future.
A new chapter, nay a new book.
It's a time to reflect, to take a good look.
The vision we see, what for granted we took.
There's so much more, if we allow God to write the book!
So here's to baking yummy bread, being thrifty and good with money and starting on this next adventure :-)

The Challenge~ Day 10

Ok, so I decided to accept the Homemaker's Challenge last week! It's been really good, though I have to admit I haven't been following it to a T. You see it was stressed at the beginning that you need to take it as you can, as it works for the stage or season of life you're in at that point! I'll share the reason's that I'm chosen to do things a bit differently here in a second! First though, I need to share that the start of this journey that I'm taking right now, being a homemaker, a good wife and Mama was a decision to throw away what the world wants me to be! I'm refusing to buy into the lies anymore, the lies about Motherhood, and being a stay at home wife and mother! Now that was pretty easy for me, but one thing I did realize I wasn't doing is finding out the best ways to bless my husband! Now I can tell myself, that I have enough to do.. Taking care of a baby and cooking good meals is all I need to do, I mean that should be plenty right?? No! It's been on my heart that one thing my sweet husband would REALLY like is a cleaner home, a place that's relaxing and free from clutter, a place he can walk into and drop the burdens of the work day off his shoulders and just enjoy being home. If the house is messy, he can't do that. One, because he can't get my undivided attention to talk about his day(I'm to busy being distracted by the mess). Secondly, because the mess is chaotic and very un-relaxing. Last but not least, he can't be happy and relax because I'm not happy! I know how silly is that right? I'm not happy when my home is messy, yet I don't always keep it clean! So now we get back to my first subject, why I'm not following "the plan" :-)
I'm reading the challenge everyday and when I can fit in the challenge for that day I do, but there's something else I'm doing that comes before that... Are you ready for this??? Every night for this past week I have been asking my husband what I could do the next day to bless him. Every night he tells me something that would make him very happy to see cleaned or done. One night he was sweet enough to leave me a lil list, he knows I like being to cross things off :-) Our home is getting much cleaner, I'm much more peaceful and joyful, Brad enjoys just being in our home and relaxing and I feel like a million bucks! It's so fun for me to clean in my home when I think of it being for him, for the man that I love so very much! Why has it taken me so long to change my view, I've been looking at cleaning through a dim, dirty window and it seems that it's finally clean and I can "clearly" see what I didn't see before! It's a way to bless my husband, a way to make him happy and to thank him for going to work everyday and allowing me to stay home with our son! But I think that I had to be ready for this revelation, I had to work up to this heart change as I see now that it is! I wouldn't have been able to do this before, it's been through prayer and some tears that I've come to see it this way! I wish with all my heart that I'd not been so stubborn and willful before, now my home is happier and I can feel the approval from both my husband and God. It's a wonderful feeling!

Quick note!

What have I been doing lately? My life recently has been busy, buying and selling on e-bay, hosting a Stampin' Up party, baking and selling bread, learning to cook gluten free for Brad, taking care of my lil Darling, and making my own vanilla(can't wait to try it in 4-6 months) (Got the recipe here from Heavenly Homemakers Blog! Probably one of the only times I'll ever have vodka in my home!) Now one of my biggest desires is to have a clean well organized home! I'm going to be talking about what I try and what works for me and what doesn't! That said, I'm going to start with a five minute cleanup in the kitchen while Zayden sleeps!
Oh and this past weekend, I saw a pod of Orca Whales and... Got stung by a nasty Red Jellyfish! It hurt... BAD!!

I'm going to be sharing some victories and struggles, my heartaches and tears and of course we're going to be laughing at my expense a time or two! Anyways welcome to my world as a 23 year old mother to a sweet darling lil blessing named Zayden and wife to the most amazing man in the world named Brad!
