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.

Sunday - 

On my to do list:::

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

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....
