 The weather.....


Right now I am....
Snuggling with my girls on the couch and watching Disney Junior.
   

Thinking....
I could really use a nice mocha.  Haha!  I'll be making one in a moment or two.

On my reading pile....
I just picked up Swimming to Elba by Silvia Avallone at the library, so I need to get started on that, also I have a couple of chapters of Little House in the Big Woods left to read to the kids, because I've been slacking and then we want to start Charlotte's Web since the next couple of Little House books were already checked out at the library.

On my TV.....
I need to watch Downton Abbey season 3 and get that DVD to my mother-in-law so she can watch it.  Also, new Call the Midwife from last night.

Blog hopping (newly discovered blog)....
I wasn't able to read any blogs last week.  Not even my favorites, so I have some catching up to do.

On the menu for this week....
Monday:  Cheesy Spaghetti bake
Tuesday:  Henry Ts (out to eat)
Wednesday:  Slow cooker Creamy ranch house porkchops and roasted veggies
Thursday:  Baked chicken
Friday:  
Saturday:  
Sunday:  


On my to do list....
Laundry
Dishes

In the craft basket....
I haven't been working on anything and I've really been itching for a project.  I might start searching blogs for some fun crafting ideas....

Looking forward to this week....
Shawn coming home on Wednesday.  I miss him too much.

 Looking around the house....
Ben has his Star Wars toys scattered all over the living room floor and is playing loudly with them while he and the girls watch Sofia The First on Disney.  I have laundry that needs my attention in the hallway, some dirty to be washed, some clean to be folded, and some folded to be put away.  There is a few dishes in the sink that need to go into the dishwasher once I unload the clean dishes that are already in it.

From the camera....
Ben with his art work at his school art fair.



On my prayer list.....
The victims and their families from all the horrible things that have happened this last week.  Also, my husband as he travels this week.

 Bible verse, Devotional....
Many are the plans of the human heart, but it is the decision of the Lord that endures. ~ Proverbs 20:21

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.
