Questions:

{no. 1} Show us in pictures how your Summer is going so far: 






{no. 2} What is one thing you are never too busy for? Spending time with my girls.  I love to take a break each afternoon, make a fresh pot of tea, and listen to them chatter about what's going on in their lives.

{no. 3} What were you doing 30 minutes ago? I'm so happy you asked!  I was working on my first challenge from this book:



Do you want to see my first challenge?  Sure you do!  It's a create your own sundae activity:

This would be my dream sundae:  green tea ice cream, pineapple, and honey.

But since I'm trying to make healthier choices, I'll have this instead:


Pinkberry cherry yogurt, chocolate sprinkles, and strawberries


I will be working through this delightful Book of Doing.  I'll post my results from time to time.  The purpose of the book is to unlock creativity, and I really need it.  It will help me get out of my comfort zone a little, too.


{no. 4} What is the best advice you have ever received?  Hand your problem over to God and quit worrying about it!  I hardly ever follow that advice because I'm a worrier.  


{no. 5} Share some of your favorite quotes









Thank-you for hosting, Kenzie and Scriptor!

Until next time...

Blessings!

  5. I have never tried Green Tea Ice Cream... so intrigued, I'll have to find some!! :)

    I love that Disney quote too. I'm a worry-wart at heart. I need to be more aware of it, and remind myself of this quote more often!

  9. I think I need to buy that book, and not by ordering it online...noooo, I need to go to the bookstore! (I went last week and only bought for the kids and am still hurting from the experience apparently)

  14. Thank you for the quote reminders. I can very well related with worrying too. I guess its a natural tendency for every member of the female populace. :)

  18. Yes, definitely looks like a good summer. And I love those new yogurt places. I always get taro with lots of strawberries and raspberries on top. So good! Thanks for linking up.

  20. So tell us what the book about "Doing" is all about.....

    I love Greek Yogurt and I just add things to the plain ---I have found some nice recipes on Pinterest to make it different flavors like cookie dough etc. I do think it is as good as ice cream , but when I add my own stuff it is less sweet for me.

    Hey, how do you follow people now that blogger doesn't have the google reader?
