The calm before the Disneyland
Just cleaning at Grandma’s & getting a few decors out
I kinda love these jars. A snapshot of my girls at the moment. Noelle learning how to crochet & Gwinna is collecting plastic straws for her Tia Stephanie because the paper ones make her crazy.
Journal presentation. Ha. Feeling like a fraud but shared what I know, why I am grateful I have done it & the reality of getting into the habit. Twill only happen if you have a great WHY.
LOVE my built in Thai dates with Gwinna during GCYA! She took that lovely picture of me focused on enjoying every bit of my spring rolls ❤

“It was our wedding day … I told my wife please don’t kill my ffiiiisssh”
I crack up
“Im good at writing songs. I should be a lyricist.”

Sia in the sunshine, scootering. BEST.
My calm & happy place. Kitty on my lap, crocheting with my French fairytale Chateau show on.

I cannot find TC:( by the temple by myself today. The landscaping here..and at every temple truly is flawless. It is constantly being worked on too though. There were men last time picking out the brown petals of flowers as we walked around. Something to be said about the immeasurable peace I feel here & definitely the perfection in the mowed grass, beautifully shaped bushes & well trimmed trees attributes to it. A constant work in progress. Consistently maintained as is true with most things in life. Especially us. Of course my mortal mind goes to my organizing / purging journey over the years. It has never and willl never be able to cease but I have found joy in the load, joy in the constant movement & action of making sure my family is at peace in our home. Being here gives me revitalized energy, strength & excitement to stay on top of these things… feeling like I could definitely be better at staying on top of a well “pruned” scripture study session each day as a family. Setting a time works for me. I thrive in that but I need to be more easy going with it since we are busier in our day to day now. When we are all together it takes minutes to create stability and some spiritual fortification for them. Must do this more regularly.
Cleanliness allows peace for me. It allows room for me to think & ponder & really be free in my time with myself, my prayers between me & my God.
Goodness I am so grateful for the my many many flaws that He continually forgives me of . My many many times I fail and come up so short & lacking. I am so grateful .. gong in his talk said something about Him offering us joyfully, all He has. For that I can never be grateful enough. Michael is such a good example in doing this for others he really does offer freely, and joyously all he has to others.
It will only bring him spiritual strength, closer to Father & make our relationship stronger. Not one negative thing about freely, fully, joyfully giving of what you have. Only blessings to fall from heaven for it.
“God is ready with great compassion to welcome us, joyfully offering the best He has.”

Me & Gwinna did a quick couple hours of shopping when I came home from the temple. She made some “aesthetic” videos of all the goods in antique stores and we found this Star Wars book for Sia. I need to note here that after Disneyland Sia decided she needs to watch all of the Star Wars movies! It has been so fun to hear her reactions to all of them! She is on the ones with Rey now and trying to figure out if she would rather be her or Padme for Halloween this year:)
Scripture study & purging of the girls drawers (kon Mari method way) with the kitty so happy to be with us. Also need to note Michael has recently discovered Mr. Beast videos and cant stop buying his chocolate for us all:) Dark chocolate with sea salt wins.
Summer quilt made by Michaels cute client Jacquie & these lego creations made by my Sia.
Hairs cut……
Ant Lili sent this to me and Noelle quickly set it as her ipad background. In love.
Apparently we are hoarders … puzzles & games!
Putting away the love month.
