Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and gloomy with a chance for rain.


Things that make me happy: 
When people tell me how well behaved my kids are and how cute they are.

Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson and As Always, Julia the letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto by Joan Reardon.  What can I say, I'm a slow reader...



What's on my TV today: 
Jersey Shore.

On the menu for dinner:
Chilli and corn bread


On my To Do List:
Laundry, pick up the house, grocery shopping, doctor's appointments.


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I have no idea.  I have so many to try.


In the craft basket:
I'm still working on a cute bird pillow softie.  I've been too busy to get into the sewing room.

Looking forward to this week:
My husband and I's 3 year anniversary.

Tips and Tricks:
When your child is being impatient and antsy at the grocery store, go to the floral department and see if they offer free balloons.  The grocery store I go to gives out free balloons to small children if you go ask (I was told this by a cashier) and it keeps the child out of trouble and occupied. 


My favorite blog post this week: 
Sarahkscoular - #sendskoolatothesuperbowl  
It's amazing to me what is possible when people work together.  I wish I would have gotten the chance to donate to the fund.  I may still do it, just to help with any extra fees.

No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):




Lesson learned the past few days:
I know I'm way late on this, but don't sweat the small stuff.  It could all be so much worse.


On my mind:
My doctor's appointment tomorrow.  I'm so super nervous.

Meagan- I used Dr. Waxman at Providence in KCK. It's the same one Shawn's family uses. She was really nice although a little strange.
Sarah- Thanks and welcome to my blog. Haha!

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me. On my reading pile.... Starting a new one that I picked up last week at one of my favorite stores, Brits.  Jane Austen:  Her Life And Letters by William Austen-Leigh and  Richard Arthur Austen-Leigh On my TV..... Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday.
