Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
I think the high today is like 25 degrees.


Things that make me happy: 
When my husband helps me with the housework even though he doesn't have to.  I know that sounds bad, but last night, I was picking up the kids toys and he was doing homework at the kitchen table and he stopped just to help me.  Makes me feel good.

Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson  I'm hoping to finish it this week.  


What's on my TV today: 
Harry's Law tonight and today, gotta watch last weeks Grey's anatomy and Kennedy's home movies.


On the menu for dinner:
My Aunt Marci's Taco Soup recipe


On my To Do List:
Fold Laundry


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Hot Artichoke and Cheese Dip 
I made it for the Super bowl yesterday and it was a major hit.


In the craft basket:
More decor for the kids room.


Looking forward to this week:
Getting Ben's new big boy bed and all the kids sheets should be delivered this week as well.


Tips and Tricks:
When making a large purchase (mattress, tv, etc) ask lots of questions because you may figure out a way to lower the cost.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Domestic Wonder/Life Simplified - Potty Training Tips

She's such a wonderful person/wife/mother.  I really love her advice and learn a lot from her.


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





Lesson learned the past few days:
It's alright to have a lazy day every now and then during the week, because you probably won't get to have one on the weekend.

On my mind:
Trying to get my poor sick boy healthy and hoping he doesn't spread this virus to his sister.

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. Also, Call The Midwife, The Bible and Season 3 of Downton Abbey Blog hopping (newly discovered blog).... I don't currently have anything but I hope to soon. On the menu for this week.... 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 ...
