Welcome to my weekly post, Daybook Online Journal here at The Littlest Way. This is a post 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 and cleaning and learning…These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life; and I want to remember them. I would love to read your Daybook Online Journal, just leave it in the comments section below. You can use my prompts or make up your own to include items important to you; mine change depending on season and circumstance.

Pondering…
I’m pondering the value other people place on what we do and does it matter? I mean, we know what we do, should we have to defend it to others who may not understand or trivialize it? I don’t think so.
Listening to…
Paul Cardell as I write.
Reading…
My large print Bible
The Way of Trust and Love
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know the impact this book is making on me right now.
Divine Mercy for Moms
Besides the fact I’m kind of an emotional mess right now as I finish writing our Bible Study and Journal, this book almost made me weep (and I don’t use that word) from the introduction by Fr. Michael Gaitley from 33 Days to Morning Glory and Consoling the Heart of Jesus.
“I hope you will read this book and help save the world. We need you, Catholic moms! From your often overlooked love, God will grant us extraordinary gifts of grace in the present time of mercy.”
Fr. Michael Gaitley
Bible Journaling…
Have you seen these Bible Tabs from Lacy at Catholic Icing? They are adorable! Each one is in a shape that represents something from that Book of the Bible.
Around the House…
Veronica sorted through summer clothes for me this past week…sigh. It’s not as hard as it was when I had a bunch of littles. The hard part right now is washing the winter gear and getting it stored. Plus, we had BIG bedroom cleaning on Friday…yeah, my laundry is sight right now!
Saving Money…
I’m going to write a post on how we paid off our house in six years. Someone asked on Instagram for a short explanation. The short answer is we said “No” to a lot of things a lot of the time.

What Is a THM diet?
Jenny says
Trim Healthy Mama http://amzn.to/28Lh08q It’s not really a diet as it is a healthy way of eating good fats and healthy carbs, but not necessarily together to keep your blood sugar stable.
Ellen says
Wishing I had a printer!!
Thank you as always,Miss Jenny,for taking care of us too!
Jenny says
Totally my pleasure…all for the glory of God!
Katie says
Happy “No more mortgage payments!” Enjoying your posts as always.
Jenny says
Thank you so much!!
Michelle says
You stop it right now! I must have those tabs! Lol. No really.
Baby cows. Sigh. Baby anything. Sigh.
I’m inspired by your Ramsey fruits. The modern times of instant everything doesn’t help my natural inclinations. Fast then Feast, rather than Feast then Headache. (according to Bishop Sheen) What matters more is the knowledge that I cannot rid myself of my defects, but only God can. Of course, I don’t stop trying.
Thanking God for mass on Sunday with everyone. Long story ~ good day.
A beautiful backyard with plenty of singing birds, foliage and yes, even weeds.
Recovery from surgery.
After my recent healing, I felt so good about my worth (finally) that I was blinded to my faults and sins for a short time. Thanking God for revealing them slowly and kindly.
Well, I’m getting a little hyper in the reading dept. I have too many books started. Now, I recently noticed a book club on The Life of Christ, by Fulton Sheen and so I’m giving that a try since it’s been collecting dust by way of intimidation.
Another one that is lining up with all that God has done in me is called: Be Healed: A Guide to Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life, by Bob Schuchts, Mark Toups Like me, Bob was a child of a devastating divorce (aren’t they all?) and his witness is very powerful so far.
Eating: I’ve been falling off the THM wagon a little too often. Except sugar since I’m an addict and I don’t want to go back there.
Praying for my children. I notice that I pray more for them as they grow older and when things don’t seem to be going so well. I want to pray always.
