Hearts for home is a weekly meme hosted by Gae from Cherished Hearts at Home.

In today’s busy and aggressive society mothers at home are not given much encouragement to be committed to their role in being home.
In my weekly 'Hearts for Home' post I am encouraging myself and others to commit to thinking about what 4-6 things we can do each week to bring our thoughts, prayers and actions to keeping our 'Hearts for Home'.
Here is my list for the week:
1: Reading each day with Tom, Amelia and Christopher. We get so wrapped up in the day to day running that I don't take enough time for this.
2: doing the washing every morning and not leaving it till the afternoon.
3: Going out with Steve for a coffee on our own.
4: checking on the children's jobs and giving them guidance without shouting when they have not done them properly.
5: Making some pumpkin choc chip muffins and pumpkin bread from the pumpkin that I puree.

OH boy! Perhaps you could take one or two of those delicious muffins with you when you go for coffee, ha ha!!
I especially like your goal in #4...thank you for the inspiration.
UMMMM~ Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and hot tea! Sounds soooo good! Cathy
That is beautiful. I totally agree we don't get the support to 'just' be a mum. I read a great article on the Apron ministry and I found that really inspiring. If i find the link I'll send it to you.

I found it :)
Thanks Tracy. I will have to read it tomorrow though. I need to go to bed now.
Dear Therese,
Why is it we find it so hard to find time to read, I certainly can't work it out.
Wow going out for coffee. How often do you do that?
do you make pumpkin soup too. Great soup weather here at the moment.
God Bless
Gae,
Usually we aim for going out once a week without children. Most times it ends up being fortnightly though.
We have had a lot of pumpkin soup this winter.
