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 ...

Back into Monthly Meal Planning!

Hey guys!!! I am so happy to announce that I am getting back into the swing of things in regards to monthly meal planning! I have implemented a tip I have heard a hundred times over and decided to put certain types of meals on certain days. So Sunday for me is Something New Sunday and I am not making any plans for that, just if we find a recipe we want to try out that month, Sunday is the day to do that. I am also keeping Fridays as Noodle and or pasta because that is what works for my family. Our Fridays have become even more busy now that my daughter has gymnastics on from 3.30 - 5.30pm.  So here is the basic lay out for the week.

Taking a stab at FREEZER COOKING!

Hey Guys! One of my favourite things to watch on YouTube is (obviously) meal planning and freezer cooking videos. I love these videos because they give me inspiration in the kitchen... and without it, I tend to do the same set of meals over and over. I'm not sure why I have not been able to get into the routine of doing freezer meals on a regular basis, however this time around, it has been relatively simple and no pressure. One of my favourite YouTubers to watch on the topic of freezer cooking is Jamerill's Large Family Table . She has put together a few packs with a bunch of large family style freezer cooking meals and they are amazing! Check it out by following the link to her YouTube channel and she has the link on her page. Some of the recipes I have been able to make for the freezer meals include: Banana Bread (3 loaves) Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan (can't wait to try this on the weekend) Slow Cooker Broccoli and Beef (this was a big winner with the kids -...
