Choose Joy... Family


Ok, I know this is a weird post, but... seriously, I am choosing joy here!

I have been working on catching up on laundry all weekend, if I don't fold right out of the dryer & put it away, I swear it takes over my house & I get so overwhelmed I can't deal with it at all. That's where I am now. OVERWHELMED! So where does "Joy" fit in with all of this you ask? Well, because I have been blessed with some incredible friends that are wonderful & give me GREAT hand me downs! I rarely have to go out & buy clothes for my kids. Just in the last 2 weeks alone, I was given 5 boxes or bags of clothes for the Princess! How awesome is that?! I have another friend that has 3 bags of stuff for the 2 younger boys & then today, I was given a snow suit for Bubby & a jacket for the Princess to grow into . Oh, & yet another friend told me today that her son has outgrown some stuff & was I interested in it for Bonez!

No, this isn't a big charity case situation, it's just a matter of them not having younger kids to pass on to & the clothes being in good shape. Anyway, as much as I don't enjoy laundry, I am beyond blessed that my kids have so many clothes. I've been overwhelmed with the kindness of others lately. I love the fact that others pass on to my family & I have been doing the same in return. What a great feeling!

Hey, Conner used to have a GAP shirt just like that one! Maybe you could pass some of YOUR hand me downs my way! At last Caile would get something...
