7. Being able to order online any gifts, necessities, books, school materials, etc. that I need.
8. Reading magazines on my kindle so there is less paper coming into my home (paper I would then have to sort or ‘do’ something with!).
9. Being able to sleep better at night.
10. Being able to fit into my regular jeans with help of the Bella Band!!! (No, this is not a pic of me.)

12. The thought that greenhouses will be opening up in a short couple weeks! I cannot wait to get some more color in my yard and garden.
Hi Suzie, love your posts! We were blessed with Bishop Aquila’s presence here yesterday for Confirmation & First Eucharist. No confirmands in our family but I did get to song lead!
ReplyDeleteYes it is wonderful to be able to go out now and then without looking for a sitter. I Can’t believe I have children that old already!
Dr. Pepper – I gave it up for Lent and now I am trying to have it only on the weekends but it is so good. I sneak one sometimes when I get to town during the week.
The UPS/FedEx stops at our place too often! I love shopping online whenever I need some things I can’t wait to get until I go somewhere or don’t want to waste time looking.
I have also been reading “Simplifying the Soul”. I didn’t get it finished during Lent because I’m reading it on my son’s iPod and he hid it so I wouldn’t hide it from him and neither of us could find it for a couple of weeks! It is a very good read.
That belly band looks awesome. CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!
