Love this simple documentation idea from The Simple Woman's Day Book via apple likes orange:
FOR TODAY
June 21st, 2009
Outside my window...my red leaf lettuce is waiting to harvested.
I am thinking...about the content for my upcoming 3-month workshop at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Yesterday & Today & that it is just about time for bed.
I am thankful for...things we don't ask for (or think we want) but get anyway & weekends like this where the four of us are all together with no agenda other than to simply be together.
From the kitchen...ribs tonight cooked low & slow from a Paula Dean recipe (loved it) and ten small jars of freezer jam all ready to go.
I am wearing...jeans & a blue top with white stitching & no shoes.
I am creating...layouts for my column in the October issue of Creating Keepsakes.
I am going...to have some jello for dessert.
I am reading...The Three Marriages (recommended by Jen Lemen)
I am hoping...that both kids will be well enough to go to the babysitter's tomorrow so I can get some things done.
I am hearing...Chris' iphone playing Learning To Fly (Tom Petty) while he checks his email.
Around the house...there is a large pile of cloth diapers on the couch waiting to be put away.
One of my favorite things...is that Simon fell asleep across Chris' lap tonight as the three of us sat here on the couch after Anna had gone to bed. I scratched his back and he was out. I think he gets that from me - I love having my back scratched.
A few plans for the rest of the week...work tomorrow, playdate with Tricia and her kids on Tuesday, Paolo here for a visit on Wednesday, doctor's appointments on Thursday, work Friday
A picture to share...

I think Anna is really starting to look like you! If I had the time, I would do this kinda post...I guess I need more organization tips! (Oh and a babysitter! WAHM of three who is forever going on four hours of sleep...ha ha!)

I'm glad to see your couch is filled with "everyday stuff" like mine! Love that Anna is in the middle of all of it too-so cute.

I'm afraid to take pictures like this because things don't look "perfect". But this is a BEAUTIFUL shot. I can see it now.
Thanks for the courage.
This is life. This is everyday.

I love this idea and may use it too. I also have to tell you that I love that you post pictures of your daughter. She reminds me so much of my little girl (who is now 5 years old). It often makes me want another when I see sweet Anna. I even show my husband your updates about once a week. We lOve your blog!

I've been doing the simple woman's daybook for nearly a year. Planning on using them for a year in review - such an easy way to summarize our lives. Did mine this morning, nice to read yours.

I, too, have been doing the simple woman's daybook for quite a while now. I love looking back on all the Monday Musings I have written. I'm so glad I have those little glimpses into our daily life that I know I would have forgetton already if I had not written them down. I just did mine this morning and it was nice to read yours too!
