While the Cat's Away...

The mouse plays... or blogs, that is :-) I feel like I never have time to blog about all the fun little things that go on in our hectic day to day life. Michael is away for the evening (playing poker with the fam) and the boys are in bed, so now's my chance! I've got a big bowl of ice cream and a list of things I want to make note of. So let the fun begin!

First, a few days back, I was "tagged" by my dear cousin, Sarah. Here's the deal with tagging, so I gather:

The rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


However, I don't really know 6 other blogs to go to and tag. But I can do A (already completed!) and B.

Six things about me...

1. I am passionate about serving the Lord, and being a wife and mother. I could go on and on about these aspects of my life. They define who I am, and I love my role.

2. If I were to have a job outside of the home, I would want to be a Midwife, Lactation Consultant, or Doula. I am passionate about pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, and would love to be encouragement to other women in these areas.

3. I can stick my entire fist in my mouth, something I never knew was an extra special talent until I realized not many others can. Apparently, I have a big mouth!

4. Michael and I consider ourselves "quiverfull" (stemming from Psalm 127). We leave our fertility in the Lord's hands, meaning, we do not use birth control, even the "natural" kind (unless you count breastfeeding, but that's something I do regardless). Yes, we may just end up with 14+ children. We may just end up with the 4 we've been blessed with so far. We trust in God's provision and are grateful for all of the blessings He's given us.

5. I am a weirdo and enjoy scheduling. Michael thinks its an odd hobby, but I'm pretty good at it. Its fun to make an excel sheet and see how everything can line up and fit together. Not to mention, a schedule is terribly practical and can make room for so much accomplishment in a day!

6. My favorite outfit is my long brown skirt, black tank top, orange hoodie cover-up and light blue crocs. Add my baby on my back in the Ergo and three little boys in tow, and viola! There I am. I've looked and looked for an avatar like that, but just can't find one that suits. So you'll just have to use your imagination. I'd post a picture, but I'm the only one who uses a camera around these parts, so pictures OF me are rare and far between.
