Goodbye lazy Sundays

Being a homeowner is great so far! It’s also a lot of hard work. 

And we haven’t even moved in yet.

Since we closed on May 7, Michael and I have spent all of our free time painting, caulking, fixing, and otherwise spending all of our small budget on getting this house move-in ready. Well, either one of those or we’ve been partying it up in Louisiana for a slightly exhausting couple of weekends of important family get-togethers. 

All what I like to call “blessed busyness” though. No complaints here. But I’m still quite glad that May is over! Until I realize how packed June is as well. And July. And August. 🙂

No more lazy Sundays for this family. At least for a little while. 

We used to have the most amazing, lazy weekends–especially Sundays. We’d wake up late, make a big, messy breakfast, and generally just do whatever we wanted, when we wanted. It was lovely. Of course, after Gabriel was born, things got a little more scheduled (especially the sleeping in part!). However, we learned how to take the “sleep when the baby sleeps” idea and work it to our advantage :). 

I’m sure there will still be lazy Sundays for us in the future, but for now, we are happy with our “blessed busyness.” If you’re bored and within 300 miles of Houston, though, please give us a call.

Hi there!

I'm Erin, a Catholic wife, speaker, writer, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, my life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
