Happy Homemaker Monday

We welcomed the first day of Spring with a fresh layer of snow...

{weather outside:}

Although we got a good couple of inches overnight, I am happy to report that the sun is shining and the temperature is expected to reach 50 degrees so we should be seeing green again by this afternoon.

{around my home:}

My oldest son is playing dragon vs. t-rex at my feet, my middle son is riding on the rocking horse and my youngest son is nursing. We are enjoying the aroma of cinnamon from our Quinoa & Pecan Granola baking in the oven at the moment and it's pretty much heavenly. The white snow and the bright sunshine are making our living room particularly bright this morning. My little home is in desperate need of some straightening up, dish washing, and laundry folding but isn't that always the case on Monday morning, especially after a particularly busy weekend?

{verse:}

Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped; rather, made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

- Philippians 2:5 - 11
