Happy Homemaker Monday



The Weather:::
Right now, it's 15 degrees.  Today it's supposed to get up to 28 degrees but by Wednesday it will be back up into the 40s and then almost 60 Friday.  This Kansas weather...

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch on my laptop watching the Today show on tv, sharing a blanket and cuddling with Sydney.  

Thinking:
I'm the luckiest mom and wife.  My kids are super sweet and snuggly today and my husband helped a lot with the housework yesterday and there isn't much to do this morning.      

On my reading pile:::
Just started Under The Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes

On my tv:::
Last weeks Grey's Anatomy and hopefully some Doctor Who Season 3.  I also promised the kids popcorn and a movie.

Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::
I'm afraid I don't have one really.

Something fun to share:::
I was poking around a little bit on pinterest, as I often do, and came across this really cool and cute blog.  My Material Life.  

On the menu for this week:::
Tomorrow is grocery day so I have to come up with my menu plan and grocery list today.
Monday - Chicken stuffing casserole, steamed veggies
Tuesday -
Wednesday -
Thursday - 
Friday -
Saturday -
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Menu and grocery list
Laundry
Dishes

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I'm still working on my hexagon blanket and I started these cute little warm compresses.

Homemaking Tips:::
I've probably said this before, but I can't stress it enough.  Make your own laundry detergent.  It is so easy, saves you money, and is so much easier on your skin.


Looking around the house:::
The house is actually in good shape this morning.  The big kids are both playing on their iPads.  Ben is playing Minecraft and Sydney is watching Austin and Ally.  Rylie is playing with toys on the floor and squealing like crazy.

From the camera:::
I just love how animated she gets over reading.




On my prayer list:::
My sister-in-law and her boyfriend for safe travels as they are on their little vacation.  
My husband, who is feeling a little under the weather.  
Any of my other friends or family who need prayers.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly be tested in every way, yet without sin. ~ Hebrews 4:15
