I like the idea of Inspiration Monday.
Monday’s often get the short end of the stick
But they are fraught with potential!

I’m determined to have the most inspirational and productive week ever! My three girls head back to school after two weeks off tomorrow and I’ve just found out I’m no longer required for Jury duty. Having cancelled all of my work for two weeks thinking I would be at Jury duty I know have time on my hands to play catch up.
My to do list is looking rather overwhelming.

You’re welcome June! Thanks for your inspiring post!
I have to tell you how much I am enjoying your site! I also have a cat which looks so much like yours, that I almost fell off my chair. Is your cat a Maine Coon? My cat’s name is Grey (Oddly enough). Thank you as well for hosting the link party. I really appreciate all the work that goes into doing that correctly. I’d love it if you’d stop by my blog and take a gander. I will look forward to seeing you there! http://www.kneadedcreations.com. Have a blessed week! Deb @ Kneaded Creations

There is always so much great inspiration here, it’s a real pleasure to visit 🙂 Thank you for hosting. This week I’ve shared a post on how clutter isn’t just a lot of stuff in the hopes of inspiring others to work through it as I have. Have a lovely week!
So many things I can say about today’s post 🙂
Thank you for sharing an old & familiar song. I so needed to hear it & sing with it, several times already this morning! Just beautiful!
I also reviewed Bake Thru The Bible. It was a great cookbook to do with children. Have shared it with several young moms already. It was nice to see it mentioned here as well.
Thank you for hosting a wonderful linkup each week!
Happy Columbus Day!
