Yesterday we shopped all day! This year I'm trying to only go grocery shopping once a month. It seems to free up a lot of time. It feels great to have a year's supply of essentials like wheat and beans. It feels terrific to have at least a month's supply of vegetables, fruits, meats, salsa, household supplies, and such. It was a big day! I'm so grateful we have our finances set up so we can shop in one big day. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed us with enough money for food, clothes, and supplies. It costs a lot to raise these little ones, but I feel Heavenly Father helping us. I'm grateful for the blessings of paying our tithes and fast offerings. The windows of heaven have truly opened for us.
This morning I washed windows and walls, put away laundry, cleaned, and baked. I'm ready for a nap. I believe a nap gives you the power of two mornings. It keeps me going strong into the evening. I'm a nicer mom when I take a nap. Of course, now that I'm not expecting or nursing I don't need a nap everyday or more than 20 minutes, but I still like to freshen up. I used to feel guilty for napping, but now I realize it actually increases my productivity, energy, and emotional stability. Your best self might be eluding you on the other side of a nap.
