I found this neat idea of 7 Quick Takes from my friend Megan's blog, Sorta Crunchy, and decided to try it out myself! The host of 7 Quick Takes is Jennifer at the Conversion Diary, so go check out both of these lovely blogs!



1. I am so used to having a babysitter around (i.e. my Mom or Mother-in-Law) that I realized that I don't really know any official "babysitters" to call upon in my time of need!! (And yes, I know I am spoiled.)



2. I am kinda ticked off that our tax refund is wayyyy less than what we originally thought it would be, but I am very thankful to receive any refund at all!



3. I am taking an online class with a great Christian woman and speaker, Alyssa Avant, to help me with starting a Women's Ministry at our church. I feel really led in this direction and I am excited to follow this passion and get some help doing so! (Check out this program called Faith Leaps, which is just getting off the ground.)



4. I have been ditching the gym lately, and I am really not sure why. I have access to two great workout facilities, both provide childcare, and I just avoid it them both like the plague. I also have a Wii Fit, and it has been ages since I have set foot on that thing! I have gained weight, and basically abandoned weight watchers completely. I know I am dealing with some "blues" but I have to get some motivation going.



5. I really enjoy being apart of Extraordinary Moms group, where I was so fortunate to be included as a Mom Ambassador. I think this great group of gals has been an encouragement to me, and provided me with a wealth of knowledge and information on everything bloggy!



6. I am thinking about renting a big red container, you know the kind they use on construction sites, and remodels, to discard the remains from whatever construction has been done. I really want to purge our house of all of the extra "stuff" that clutters our lives. Okay, so I probably really won't, but the thought has crossed my mind.



7. I have really enjoyed drinking hot tea lately, I am normally a coffee kind of person, but the tea has had a really great flavor, and effect on me. I like the Vanilla Rooibos, and Chai, with a little milk and sweetener.
