Happy Homemaker Monday

Well, I missed last week, but I am back now!!!!



The Weather:::
Today is supposed to be about 45 degrees today, and 30s and 40s all week long.

Right now I am: 
Taking a quick break before fixing lunch, sitting on our comfy couch.

Thinking:
I have so much to do today to get this house back in order.

On my reading pile:::
The Widow of Larkspur Inn by Lawanna Blackwell, and Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder

On my tv:::
I really need to get all caught up on Downton Abbey.

Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::
The Nerd Nest - My Funny Valentine As I read this, I laughed my hiney off!  


Something fun to share:::
Rylie turned one last week and we threw her a big birthday party on Saturday with the whole family.  Instead of the stress from making my own cake for the party.  We went out to eat and ordered a cake from a friend.  She did an amazing job.  It tasted delicious and looked wonderful!





On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Tacos
Tuesday - Sweet and sour pork with broccoli, pineapple, and rice
Wednesday - Lemon chicken with oregano green beans, scalloped potatoes, and brussels sprouts
Thursday -  Chili
Friday - Butternut squash ravioli with marinara, and salad
Saturday - KC
Sunday - KC

On my to do list:::
Laundry, lots and lots of laundry
Sweep the kitchen
Dust
Clean the glass

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Some crochet pot holders and an embroidered wall hanging.

Homemaking Tips:::
I don't really have anything at this moment.

Looking around the house:::
Rylie is sleeping soundly in her playpen, Ben and Sydney are cleaning their playroom.  The dishwasher is running and there are baskets of laundry in the hallway waiting for me to wash, or fold and put away.  The oven is preheating so I can reheat some leftover pizza.  I'm trying to use my microwave less and less.

 From the camera:::

Our first Ash Wednesday.  

 


On my prayer list:::
Nobody specific, just those that need it.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. ~ Mark 11:23

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...
