Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
I think it's supposed to be mild and rainy.

Things that make me happy: 
Having a completely clean and decluttered house.

Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson


What's on my TV today: 
Secret Life of the American Teenager on Netflix.


On the menu for dinner:
My husband requested Bierocks, but I don't believe I have everything we need and he has the car, so I'm thinking sweet and sour pork chops with rice and steamed veggies.


On my To Do List:

Laundry

Dinner

Dusting
Clean the glass
Wrap Sydney's presents


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:

I've been really bad and haven't been cooking lately.  We've been so busy cleaning out the mess that was our junk rooms and are now our garage and office, that we've not been cooking.

In the craft basket:
Nothing at the moment, but I think I'm going to work on things for the kids rooms.


Looking forward to this week:
My baby girl is turning 1 on Wednesday.


Tips and Tricks:
I don't think I have one again this week.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest-Favorite Children's Books
Who doesn't love Children's books?!?!  I get worn out on reading the same books over and over again so I'm always looking for more.

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




Lesson learned the past few days:
Don't put off decluttering.  The mess just multiplies.

On my mind:
Getting ready for Sydney's birthday and relaxing after a few weeks of hardcore organizing in the house.

I agree with the decluttering! I can't stand a cluttered house. So if I just do things through out the day it gets done sooner.

I hope your little one has a great 1st birthday :)

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.
