The Weather:::
It's cold and we still have snow all over the ground from last week, and tonight through Wednesday we are supposed to get more.  I'm actually kind of excited!

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch, snuggling Sydney and sniffling away.

Thinking:
About how much I need to do today, but would much rather get some rest.

On my reading pile:::
The Widow of Larkspur Inn by Lawanna Blackwell, and Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder  We've not been real good about reading lately.  Not the big books anyway.

On my tv::: 
Ripper Street 
Tonight is also the new Bones and Monday Mornings

Favorite Blog post this week (mine or other):::
I'm not sure.  I haven't had a lot of opportunity for blog reading.

Something fun to share:::
Yesterday I got to meet the Archbishop.  Just a really great experience.



On the menu for this week:::
This week may be a bit tricky as I have groceries to get us to, possibly through Wednesday night.
Monday - Tangy BBQ chicken, scalloped potatoes, "fried corn", zucchini casserole
Tuesday - Hamburger steak with sweet onions and brown gravy, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies
Wednesday - Pizza/or Chicken burgers

Laundry
Sweep the kitchen floor 
Lots of picking up

Getting ready to do a little embroidery.

Homemaking Tips:::
I don't have anything this week

Looking around the house:::
I can hear the tv in the kids room and in the living room.  Rylie is sitting next to me eating crackers and the big kids are watching Phineas and Ferb in their beds.  There are blankets and books on the living room and laundry piled up in the hallway to be washed.

 From the camera:::




On my prayer list:::
My mother-in-law who isn't feeling well and also everyone who has to travel or work in the snow that will be hitting us soon.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. ~ Luke 6:36

I love your picture. I've never been in snow. Whenever I see a picture of snow I just want to go and see what it's like.

Aww! When it snows here, we get a lot of people that complain but for my family, we love it. My husband is able to work from home, they call off school, so my son doesn't need to go, and I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't have a job to go to outside of the home. We can just sit inside and enjoy except when we are able to go outside and play in it.

Great picture, I didn't know you had bangs, they look adorable :)

Hope the sniffling goes away and no one is sick at your house.

Have a great week Liz :)

Potato Soup

By
During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
