Welcome to My Daybook Online Journal. A weekly post here at The Littlest Way where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to, eating, cleaning, and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. My prompts may change depending on season and circumstance.

Pondering…
Listening to…
Is it ok to try to stop listening for a bit? My head is noisy right now and I’d rather just listen to the voice that says, “Trust me.”
Reading…

This is my “quantity” Bible to make sure I get the Word inside me each and every day.

Bible Reading…
I need to get back into a consistent reading plan. I’ve been reading daily, but kind of in a random way.
Around the House…
We need to each pick a room and deep clean this week. Shhhhh, don’t tell my children!
In the Kitchen…
I need to put together a good list of crockpot meals for co-op days because when we get home, we are ready for a nap! What are some of your favorite Winter crockpot meals?

Self Care
I am amazed at the changes in my ability, body, and strength just five months into working out consistently! I cannot wait to see where I am in five more months!
We’ve started a faithful regimen of Elderberry Syrup (we use this one, I just have it shipped monthly with my Amazon Prime order) and Essential Oils to help keep us healthy and well this winter.
(I used to purchase my essential oils from Amazon or Edens Garden instead of a distributor. You can read my thoughts on why here, “Where I’m From…” I’ve since decided I don’t have the time or resources to properly educate myself on using the oils to their fullest potential. That’s why I signed up with Young Living under a former Family Practice Physician.)
Friends, I started sharing on social media last week that Advent is coming December 1st. There are two options here at The Littlest Way to grow in closer friendship with Jesus this Advent. The first is a free Daily Advent Devotional for Women. You just need to be an email subscriber to get the free download. This is one of my most favorite things I’ve written! The second is to join our Online Bible Study Community. We will be reading, writing, praying, and studying the virtue of joy this December and Advent. You can get more information about our lovely online group here.

The Mississippi Roast is super easy and delish. I also do a Shredded pork roast with Dr. Pepper and BBQ Sauce.
