New Season

I've been thinking about how this fall feels really full and fast so I sat now to compute what  I have going on on a weekly basis. It felt good to list some things I have been intentional to cut out and feel less passionate about for activities that are closer to me heart. But I can tell at a glance that what I've added amounts to a lot more time than what I've subtracted. Since I'm an external processor I thought I'd post it here in case you care. What have you added or subtracted to your life this year? 

Subtracted:

• baking treats for Sunday School
• greeting/ usher team at church
• weekly volunteering at the kids’ school
• sending out communication emails for mom’s group

Maintained:

• tutoring 3 private students
• leading weekly Mom’s Group

Added:

• weekly Beth Moore Bible study (this is amazing)
• teaching 2 weekly preschool playgroups (these are fun)
• weekly rugby practice for Josiah
• additional transporting of kids to school
• maybe a new church . . .
• organizing of mission trip of Philippino orphans TO Hong Kong this fall 
• starting an online university program for Reading Specialist certificate

 And just because I love these photos so much, here is Josiah in his Rugby uniform. This has definitely been a fun addition for him and I can feel a little bit like an American soccer mom.
