Bible Basket!









Hey guys!

The other day I was scrolling through Pinterest and I came across a Pin that piqued my curiosity. 
It was titled The Sanity Saving Tactic of Keeping a Bible Book Basket. I clicked on it, interested in finding out what she had in her basket. I read the accompanying article and was immediately convicted. You see, when I read my Bible, it is usually when all the kids are not around and generally it stays in my room. The reason I felt convicted is because the whole idea of keeping a Bible Book Basket is so that you can read and study the Bible wherever you are in the house. I have a lot of little eyes watching me for most of the day, but I wasn't thinking of them. Our littlest lil munchkin especially copies everything that we do. He watches as we interact with each other, as we cook dinner, and as we worship our Creator. He knows as soon as I put any worship music on, he comes running in to put his little hands up and sings his lil heart out to Jesus. He may not know why he is doing it yet, but some day in the future he will. So if they are watching our every move, what are we teaching them? I want them to grow up seeing us as parents, as good examples as Christians. How are they supposed to get that, if we are not letting them see us read and study the Word?
So I hunted around the house for a nice basket I could use, but didn't find any :( But that did mean I could go and try to find a nice inexpensive (we are trying to save for our holiday at Christmas so our budget was pretty low) basket I could use for my Bible Book Basket. I ended up finding this box for under $10. So when I got home I wasted no time in filling it with all the stuff! 

Here is what I put in it:

4 different translations of the Bible 
(I have a Passion Translation, a NIV study Bible, an Amplified Bible and an NIV Through the Bible as it happened version)

My Starting/Ending your day right devotional by Joyce Meyer

My 365 day journal from Kikki K

Stormie Omartian's Power of a Praying Parent and Woman

Fierce Faith by Alli Worthington (A study we are doing for our Women's Ministry)

Pens

Highlighters

Ruler

I will also be adding a study notebook as I am starting to verse map. I have noticed that while I read the Bible almost daily, studying scripture is not my strong suit so I will be working on changing my habits and including this in my everyday routines. 

I hope you liked seeing my Bible Book Basket!

Thanks for reading!

Organising School Uniforms

Hey Guys! When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us! For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms.  Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks.  So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections. We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first! Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs.  BB has pink. Knox has blue. TJ has purple. Liss has white.  Mum has black.  Yes, they are all mixed up at ...

Day in the life

Hey Everyone! As a busy mum of 4, I am pretty much on the go all day. So I just thought, maybe, I would share what one day is like for me. Before I get out of bed in the morning, I like to read one chapter in Proverbs. Proverbs is such a good way of making sure I am reading God's Word daily because it has 31 chapters - a chapter for each day of the month. This way, while I am going through my morning routine, I have something godly running through my brain instead of the chaos of whatever I have on that day.  Next up is coffee... after making sure my teenage son is up and getting ready for the day. I am super lucky because my Mum also lives with us and she gets up a little bit before me and has my coffee ready and waiting for me! While I drink my coffee, the news is generally on in the background. Because my kids are all older, pretty much all I have to do is make sure they are waking up when they are supposed to. Although, one of my children needs a bit more support in getting rea...

My Top 10 Cookbooks!

Hey Guys! You all know I am a mumma of a large family, so I kinda have to have a few favourite cookbooks, right? I do have quite a few cookbooks and websites that I pull from when I am meal planning, particularly when I get stuck with making the same meals over and over (it happens... I am far from perfect guys...).  Some of these are for thermomix recipes specifically, (my goal for the year is to use my thermomix more) while others are just general cookbooks. So lets get into it! 1. Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. This is the cookbook you get with your Thermomix and it has basic recipes and hints and tips to get used to your thermomix. My mum's favourite recipe in this is the custard.  2. Mamabake Cookbook. This is the cookbook I reach for when I have a lot of busy days where I will not have time to cook. There is a lot of slowcooker dump recipes in there that my family love and don't break the budget. 3. Once a Month Cooking by the Stay at Home...
