What spoke to me was "guarding". Not just guarding my home, but my time. I live 30 min from town and for me to go get groceries etc, if I am not careful, can turn into an all day event. Like yesterday. <br /><br />Many errands and groceries all tied into one day left this woman of the house very tuckered out when I got home.

The Jule store was wonderful, I added an angel to my creche collection, and Mom got some lovely ornaments for her tree. <br /><br />We browsed several gift stores and in one of them they had teacups and saucers on display.

Some days it does seem difficult to accomplish much inside the home, but as you so aptly pointed out we are busy doing things to help maintain a peaceful home! Love the pillowcases!

I am a real homebody, but I remind myself that sometimes I need to get 'out and about' to refresh my children or me, to restock the fridge (it needs it now!), and so on. I do try to organize my errands so that I can do them all at one time, if possible. It's not always possible with two children 'helping' me. They are patient, though!!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403233175071026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-27096755945827481972015-06-23T16:27:57.542-07:002015-06-23T16:27:57.542-07:00The skirt combo sounds so Victoria magazine of the...The skirt combo sounds so Victoria magazine of the past with their soft styles.

All of it is part of taking care of the home and I enjoy that. I like that you take time when you are out and about. I tend to rush through my errands and never really stop to look around and take notice. I just want to get it done and get back home!
