Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Stormy and scary, but at least it's warm now.

Things that make me happy: 
My husband taking a super long weekend starting Thursday.

Book I'm reading:

Mommywood by Tori Spelling.

What's on my TV today: 
Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight and Glee reruns during the day.


On the menu for dinner:
Egg and bacon breakfast burritos with fruit.

On my To Do List:
Dusting
Glass

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
There are so many.  I'll have to find time to post them all.


In the craft basket:
I've been so busy that any crafts I've had, have been sitting there, waiting to be done.

Looking forward to this week:
Family time!  Spending time with my husband.


Tips and Tricks:


I've got nothing right off the top of my head.


My favorite blog post this week: 
I have sadly gotten way behind on my blog reading and am hoping to catch up in the next day or two.

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







Lesson learned the past few days: 
 
Well, today our power went out for a few hours and I think the biggest thing was that it was wonderful.  No TV or having to do laundry or vacuuming like chores that require power.  The kids and I just read and played together and it was fantastic.  I mean we do a lot with each other, but the tv is always on in the background and today I realized how much attention they really pay to me or each other when it wasn't on.  We'll be doing this everyday.

 
On my mind:
Praying for the people in Joplin, Mo, who's town was destroyed by a terrible tornado.
