Saturday Salutes

November 5, 2011 by Tracey 4 Comments

There’s much to ponder in What’s Your Definition of Successful Parenting at Simple Mom.

If you’re a blogger – or write in any format – you’ll want to read Jody’s post on A Writer’s Number One Enemy.

I found encouragement for myself as well as tips for helping my daughter in Sunny Side Up.

It has been a full week, but I’m thankful for the physical strength and energy to keep up with everything!  I think I’m going to sneak in a bit of Christmas shopping by myself this morning, then shiver through a fall cookout at church tonight!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Thanks again for sharing your great finds on Sat. mornings! I really look forward to them each week.

    Have fun shopping, and wishing you fun and warmth during the cookout. 🙂

    I definitely am my own worst enemy when it comes to writing ~ thank you for that encouraging and insightful link to Jody Hedlund's website. The Lord has laid something on my heart to write, that also is a passion of mine, but I've used probably every excuse she listed to put it aside. Posts on writing have been popping up all over the place in front of me lately. My heart is burdened, and I think I need to make some time to put the pencil to paper.

    Have a great day ~ sounds fun (shopping and a cookout)!! Will there be apple cider or hot cocoa at the cookout? =)

    Katie,

    I'm sure there will be coffee, although I don't drink it. There will also be a big bonfire, so we'll all be pulling our chairs in close! 😉

    I was able to get a good number of Christmas presents bought this morning, for which I'm very thankful. I've always been conflicted about having/letting the girls write out a "Christmas list" as I never want to encourage any sense of entitlement, but only gratitude for whatever they may receive.

    However, this year I have let them list some items they would like for birthdays (both in December) and Christmas in order to be able to communicate with grandparents, etc., gifts that they are interested in. I have to admit that it is making the shopping easier as I know exactly where to go and what to buy. They will get a few things from their lists and a few additional items. With homeschooling, they're always with me, so I tried to take advantage of the time by myself this morning!
