Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold

Things that make me happy: 
Waking up to a clean house.


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.  Yes, still.



What's on my TV today: 
Harry's Law.  I missed last week (the pilot episode) but am super excited about tonight's.

On the menu for dinner:
Chicken and potato casserole, and steamed broccoli.


On my To Do List:
Folding laundry.



New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Banana Muffins



In the craft basket:
I think today, we may paint, but I also have some embroidery for the kids rooms I want to work on if I get the chance.


Looking forward to this week:
My organic fruit and veggies delivery.  This week we are getting some really fun veggies, I've never cooked before and don't think I've ever eaten before.


Tips and Tricks:
I don't have any at this time.

My favorite blog post this week: 
Applepocalypse - Snow + Dirt = Snirt
Her kids are so adorable that even though it sounds like they are bumming because of the weather (we are here too) you can't help but smile.
No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):




Lesson learned the past few days:
There's no need to yell when disciplining your children.  They still don't hear you and you just end up with a head ache.


On my mind:
This laundry that is taunting me.

I love your lesson learned, you are so right. Half the time you are the one that ends up frustrated and stressed.

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.

I don't really have a menu plan at the moment.  Shawn started a diet full of prepackaged meals and it's thrown my current plan ...
