Today is Lazy Moms Day
Whether you are a lazy mom today, or just aspire to have a day off and become a lazy mom, Lazy Mom’s Day could be right up your street. Even on Mother’s Day, moms across the world cook, clean, and generally work hard to keep their households functioning. On Lazy Mom’s Day, moms are encouraged to relax, take a back seat, and simply be lazy.
I can remember when just 5 minutes of peace and quiet sounded like a little bit of heaven to me, now it’s the norm here at my house.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The time will come when winter will ask you what you were doing all summer.
Henry Clay
For many this coming weekend will be the last Hurrah of Summer. Today is the start of the Labor Day Weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate as lots have outdoor activities planned. Here at my house it will be quiet as usual. No big plans here at all.
Labor Day Weekend is usually the unofficially ending to summer. Like all good things do, this summer is nearing its end. The last days of summer present a unique opportunity to reflect on happy memories, make the most of the time that remains, and gear up for a change in routine. Instead of mowing grass, we’ll soon be raking leaves.
They say the temps this coming week will return to the hot days of summer, but it won’t be long now and they too will be a thing of the past as we head into fall and the cooler weather. Nothing ever stays the same.
The pictures today a little preview of what we’ll be seeing here by the end of the month and the beginning of next.
Have a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend.
And I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday !
PRAYER REQUEST
Please join me in praying today for a dear one that is in the hospital. Tests have been run and I’m sure more will be coming. May the dear Lord bless her with healing and guide the hands of the doctors caring for her. Amen
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s International Bacon Day
They say that everything from pancakes to pizza tastes better with bacon. BLT’s are a favorite sandwich here at my house and this salad version sounds every bit as good.
BLT Salad
6 bacon strips, cooked and diced
1 package premium romaine bagged salad
1 medium tomato, chopped
8 Monterey Jack cheese sticks, cut into cubes
1/2 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, whichever you prefer
3 Tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup croutons
Cook bacon until crisp and cut into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine salad, tomato and cheese. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper. Pour dressing over your salad or serve on the side. Sprinkle with bacon and croutons.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
There is no cure for laziness but a large family helps.
Herbert Prochnov
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4186. for the changes in the seasons, fall is beautiful
4187. for all moms, especially those in my family
4188. for bacon, it makes everything taste better
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Will say a prayer for your dear one in the hospital, hoping all the tests come back with a favorable outcome.
I like that BLT salad recipe. Sounds unique and refreshing.
I think it is always good to have a bit of a lazy time, especially busy moms deserve them here and there :)

We are having bacon in our salad for dinner tonight, too! It is called Corn Chip Salad. Saying prayer for your little one!! Have a great day, Ma!
Praying for your dear one Pam and loving the wee house at the end. I assume it is yours. How sweet. The salad sounds delicious. Happy Labor Day weekend! The end of summer for sure. I like the mom's holiday also. When the kids were growing up I would have just settled for five minutes in the bathroom without being disturbed! God bless your day! xoxo
