Happy Homemaker Monday



The weather in my neck of the woods:
Hot and humid.  Pretty much miserable to be outside in.

Things that make me happy: 
Getting a decent night's sleep.  Especially when Sydney stays in her bed all night.  

Book I'm reading: 
Sliding into Home by Kendra Wilkinson
What's on my TV today: 
Tonight, The Closer and Part 1 of the Real Housewives of New York Reunion

On the menu for dinner:
Pancakes

On my To Do List:
I've gotten pretty much everything done.
Make beds
Stay cool

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
It's been so hot that my cooking has been kept at an easy few recipes that don't heat up the house, but there are plenty of yummy looking recipes I'd like to try.

In the craft basket:
Hoping to get my old doll house from my family soon and I'm going to start making fun things for it.  The kids will have a blast.
Looking forward to this week:
Getting a new schedule hammered out so we aren't staying up so late!
Tips and Tricks: 
I can't think of anything off the top of my head today.

My favorite blog post this week: 
I have gotten way behind on reading blogs.  I'll try to catch up for next week.

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


Lesson learned the past few days: 
There will always be people that disappoint you.  Don't let them bring you down.  Just be thankful for what you do have and worry about yourself and your family.

On my mind:
Car trouble!  It's the worst.  I'm hoping that whatever is wrong with my car is an easy fix.

Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday.
