The weather in my neck of the woods:
It's in the 40s today and quite cloudy.  I'm excited for the rain that we are supposed to get tomorrow.

Things that make me happy: 
A good night of sleep.
Book I'm reading: 
I'm just starting Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

What's on my TV today: 
The Closer and Rizoli and Isles tonight
As for today, last night's All American Muslim.

On the menu for dinner:
We have been busy and haven't gotten our grocery shopping done so tonight we are ordering pizza and picking up some food from the grocery store to get us through payday on Thursday.

On my To Do List:
Fold and put away laundry
Dishes
Vacuum and scrub floors

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I haven't been very adventurous lately.  I've been cooking the same things we normally eat.  I'll have to figure out some way to mix it up.  I'm wanting to make a beef stew or something though.

In the craft basket:
Christmas gifts.

Looking forward to this week:
Hopefully getting my energy back. (I know this is doubtful)

Tips and Tricks: 
I can't think of anything off the top of my head again today.

My favorite blog post this week: 
I unfortunately haven't had time to read many of them.  I really need to catch up.

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


Lesson learned the past few days: 
You cannot control other people's actions, you can only control your reactions to them.

On my mind:
Getting into the "Christmas spirit."

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
