Happy Homemaker Monday

I'm a little late posting this today.  I got up, and got right to work since I wasn't sure what time we'd be heading to the doctor for my sick kiddo today.


The Weather:::
Right now, it is 49 degrees.

Right now I am: 
Getting up to get bread dough started.

Thinking:
I'm exhausted and a nap would have been nice.  Maybe an early bed time instead.       

On my reading pile:::
Still not reading anything at the moment.

On my tv:::
Maybe some Doctor Who later...

Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::

The Nerd Nest - Finish  She talks about how she and her husband set a mantra for the year and stick to it.  Really admirable and something I'm thinking about doing.

Something fun to share:::
My sister led me to this fun blog a few weeks ago.  I've been so enjoying it.  She's so crafty and creative and has and adorable little family.

Upstairs Bathroom

Dishes

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
About to knock out an apron if I get an hour or two, and last night I started a hexagon blanket.

Homemaking Tips:::
I don't really have a tip this week except this really cute idea for Simmering Scents from Sandra's blog .  I got crazy making all kinds of fun creations yesterday and love how good they make my house smell.

Looking around the house:::
Rylie is napping in her carseat and the kids are resting in their beds.  I'm sitting at the kitchen table and the bread machine is kneading away while I look at the open dishwasher about to put the clean dishes away.

From the camera:::

Poor Ben was so upset about not being able to blow his Grandpa's candles all by himself.  Kids get so upset over the silliest things sometimes.






On my prayer list:::
Anyone at the moment who needs it.

Bible verse, Devotional:::

We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us.  God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. ~ 1 John 4:16

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

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...
