Happy Homemaker Monday



The Weather:::
It's supposed to be amazing weather.  60s and 70s all week. 

Right now I am: 
Feeding Rylie her Peach Oatmeal Bananas and sipping orange juice.

Thinking:
I have soooooo much to do this week.  

On my reading pile:::
I haven't actually read a book for myself in weeks.  I have some I'd love to read, but no time this week to start them.  For now, it's going to have to be things like Rapunzel and LaLaLoopsy, and whatever other books the kids choose for me to read to them.

On my tv:::
I'm not sure... I need to find something though, since I'll be crafting a good chunk of the day.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Sweet and Sour pork chops
Tuesday - Bourbon chicken and rice
Wednesday - Takeout from somewhere.
Thursday - Thanksgiving 
Friday -  
Saturday -  
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Grocery shopping 
crafting
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Finally finish my fireplace banner, and a nursing cover up

Homemaking Tips:::
Add a dash of salt to a vase of water for fresh flowers.  I don't know why, but for some reason, this helps the flowers live a little longer.

Looking around the house:::
I have piles upon piles of laundry to fold and put away.  My kitchen table is stacked with my current projects.  The big kids are playing in the play room with their blocks, while I feed Rylie and type this up.  We're listening to holiday music.  Yes, Christmas music.  It's my favorite time of year, and between the cooking, crafting, and cleaning I have to do, it helps me stay motivated.

From the camera:::


On my prayer list:::
Anyone who needs one.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. Matthew 6:21

We are listening to Christmas music as well. I agree it helps with the motivation.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

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....

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