The Family Farm

Jan. 10, 2006

borrowing an idea from an online friend

My friend Leslie posted about the changes that her husband, Ray, had decided to make for their family's Saturdays. You can read about that here...

 

Walking on the Road Less Traveled

 

I was telling Daddy L about the things they are doing and he just thought that was an AWESOME idea! What is so great was that I didn't *ask* him if we could do it...I was just telling him about the things that I had been reading on the blogs I read.

 

So, he said that this Saturday we are going to be following a similar plan. I'm very excited about it because this is something that I have wanted to do for years...probably since reading the Little House series to my boys when they were much younger. It just sounded so *logical* to me...

 

Sundays can be so hectic. It always seems like someone ends up in a bad mood...even several someones...and most of the time Mama is the main one! Of course we all know about the trickle down effect...and the old saying "When Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" Ain't that the truth!!

 

So, this coming Saturday we are going to spend the day preparing our meals for Sunday, picking out and preparing our clothes, making sure the house is clean and we are in bed at decent hours, and maybe even playing some praise music (though around here it will more than likely include a banjo, fiddle, and mandolin).

 

I'm really excited to see the difference it will make!
