Happy Friday! I'm looking forward to the weekend and the craziness that is about to unleash itself in my house and we tear rooms apart to put them back together again. Ah, the home makeover.

Anyway, it's Friday and that means it's the perfect time to kick back with Kailani of An Island Life and participate in a simple question/answer meme. Hop over to her sight for the linky and the official rules.

This week's question is:

When you feel like life is just going crazy around you, how do you find a moment to steal away and what do you do in that moment?

My answer:

I usually look forward to nap time or the hubster's return from work. Then, I lock myself in my bedroom with a good pair of headphones or I take a looooooooooong shower.

Have a great weekend!!

Aloha Friday ~ Crazy Much?

...give yourself a chance to breathe. 

That is, I need to give myself a bit of a breather. I'll be trying to keep up with emails and work on a few posts here and there. For the most part though, I'll be...breathing...surrounding myself with the giggles of my kids and getting some rest for the next few days or so. 

Until then...

Sometimes You Just Have To...

We're BIG 'OL TobyMac fans here in this house. Obviously, when I heard this song was a free download on iTunes, I jumped over and snatched it up. I've been jamming it ever since.

Go ahead and hit "play" to listen to the song while you read the rest of the post. There's no video to watch with it. ;)

That brings me to my "news".

I'm closing up the laptop and taking a break from blogging for a bit. Not forever long, though. I just want to enjoy time with my family and end the year on a great note. 

For us, Christmas is one of the greatest stories to rejoice in together. Alex is starting to wrap his brain around "baby Jesus" coming to earth and he's very excited about it. We've had conversations, stories, and play time and will be wrapping it up with Christmas Eve service at our church with family. Afterward, I'll be hosting dinner for the family {wish me luck} and enjoying my time with them. 

I may get a post or two up next week but I'll be playing that by ear. 

For now, I'm gonna dash. I have things to get ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in our home. 

I pray you have a blessed and Merry Christmas. Hug your family, count your blessings, and think on the gift we were all given that very first Noel. :)
