Amanda MaguireMore PostsI HEART Mondays!

I’ve got to tell you how much I love Mondays! And today is no exception, I slept in until 9am. I cooked breakfast for my family, my HUSBAND got the kids ready and we all went to Disneyland for a few hours. The kids fell asleep on the way home, we snuck them into bed, and had 2 hours to ourselves! Tonight we will have dinner at a little Mexican restaurant down the street, my HUSBAND will give the kids a bath, we will watch Mr. Rogers together and then the kids will go to sleep…AND THEN…I will get to watch The Bachelor (I love The Bachelor, don’t hate). What a day, I love Mondays! This is the wonderful perk of having a YP spouse, he has to work all weekend, but I feel like we really make the most of having a weekday as a day off. No one is around any of the places we go, and most friends and family have to work, so we don’t share our time on this day very often. It truly is a sacred day in our home.

I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m bragging. I’m just really excited and hope, hope, hope each one of you has a sacred day with your family. Sometimes I think it’s what keeps me alive.

What do some of your day offs (“sacred days”) look like? What are some of your favorite ways to spend time with your family, husband and all?

Amanda MaguireMore PostsMy WIFE is a Youth Pastor

Recently I have been receiving comments about where the guys should go if their wife is in ministry. Well, I never intended for this site to be just for women, but I think guys desire a different kind of forum to discuss their needs and issues. A great guy, John Snyder, just started a blog for the men. If you’re a guy, I’m not kicking you out by any means! You just might want to read it from another man’s perspective, something I cannot give you.
If you are the YP and a woman, pass it along to your husband.
Enjoy!
