Because my upcoming book is about fear and we just celebrated Valentine's Day, I thought this verse appropriate for today: There is no fear in love.

So needless to say, since I can't control the weather, I'm feeling somewhat gloomy. Like an Eeyore. No offense to Eeyore, but I'd rather not be him. I'd rather be like Pooh. Or even Olaf-like.

Well it's another busy week here at the Making the Mosthousehold. To illustrate how I'm feeling right now, imagine making waffles for 4 girls (and me!
