Its amazing what you can do in a day when you set your mind to living a certain lifestyle. The kids and I went to church and then to lunch afterward (and there were no electronics at the table to keep them occupied, just a mama and her babies talking and enjoying a quiet meal in public), then when we came home there was time for chores inside and out. Brigid requested spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, and since we dont keep store bought pasta or pre-ground meat in the house I made all of it right then and there with beef from the local butcher and eggs from our own birds. It took a little bit over an hour from start to clean up (grinding the meat, making the meatballs, cooking them, making the pasta dough and cutting it, boiling it, and putting everything together), but they loved it, and I love knowing that there were no surprise ingredients or extra stuff anywhere in their food (the pasta sauce was even home made and canned by Sean and I last month). My homework for the week is done, kitchen is clean, and my littles and I can rest easy tonight to get ready for another busy week ahead. If I could go back and do anything different it would simply be to remember to drink my shakeology before church, and to not leave my coffee on the counter when we walked out the door :/
