Saturday Salutes ~ Grumpy Moms, Organizing, and the Books I Read in March

March 30, 2019 by Tracey 4 Comments

I didn’t share any videos last Saturday, so I thought I’d link a couple today. These two performances are from my daughters’ fine arts competition earlier this month.

This is my younger daughter’s sacred piano solo. She got 3rd place.

This is one of two songs their high school choir sang. They received first place.

Here are a few good posts I found this week.

MaryEllen shares 5 Reasons You’re a Grumpy Mom (And What You Can Do About Them!)

Sarah has a comprehensive post on Organizing Essentials – A Guide to Organizing Everything You Own.

Read about how to Create a Christ-Centered Home at Creative Home Keeper.

Elizabeth has 21 Cute and Easy Easter Treats for Kids.

It’s almost strawberry season here, and these Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Cups look like a great way to use some of those strawberries!

I didn’t finish as many books as I thought I would in March. Part of the reason is that I’m re-reading Heaven by Randy Alcorn and it is loooong.

I did read two books, both fiction, and the first one is also a re-read.

Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss is a book that I enjoy more each time I read it. I always see some new truth that didn’t stand out to me before. I’ve read this book multiple times, and it’s an all-time favorite of mine for sure!

I also enjoyed The Book of Hours by Davis Bunn. It was a very entertaining read.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    WHOA!!!!! That piano solo was only 3rd place?!?!?! I am blown away! What a gift!!!

    Of course, I think the choir performance is beautiful!

    Re: “Grumpy Mom” – I am definitely at my worst when I’m overwhelmed!!!

    I need to save the “Organizing Essentials” post for when we move! (BTW – I’m stepping out in faith & posting publicly about building the house soon. I’ll email you. 👍)

      Yes, she was a little disappointed because she placed 1st last year, but one of the guys who finished ahead of her is PHENOMENAL!!!! As in he has won and placed at the National level. But he’s a senior, so at least she won’t be competing against him next year 😉

      Look forward to hearing more about the house and following along with your move. Prayers from SC, my friend!!!

    What beautiful music your daughter makes!

    I found some good tips in “Grumpy Mom,” and those strawberry trifles look scrumptious!

      Thank you 🙂 I’ve just started seeing more strawberries in the stores here this week, and now my younger daughter wants to make chocolate-dipped strawberries.
