Happy Homemaker Monday


The weather.....



Right now I am....
Watching the kids wrestle and play all over the living room, while Center Stage is on the TV.

Thinking....
About all the housework I have to do... bleh.  Mostly laundry.

On my reading pile....
Swimming to Elba.

On my TV.....
Center Stage right now... later I'm not sure.  

Blog hopping (newly discovered blog)....
Confessions of a Homeschooler  They have lots of fun recipes, homemaking tips, and lessons for kids.

On the menu for this week....
I have no idea!  The best I know is that tonight we are having pork chops...


On my to do list....
Laundry
Dishes
Picking up living room and kitchen
Menu plan and grocery list

In the craft basket....
Still nothing at the moment.

Looking forward to this week....
Gardening!!!  Tomorrow, I'm going to pick up some flowers and patio pavers.  I'm so excited.

Looking around the house....
The kids are playing all over the living room.  Rylie is everywhere and into everything today. The house is a mess with a sink full of dishes and laundry in the hallway.

From the camera....




On my prayer list.....
Sandra and her family, as they wait to hear their future.  

 Bible verse, Devotional....
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path. ~ Psalm 119:105

Thank you so much for the prayers Liz, we do so appreciate it.

It's hard being in this limbo and not knowing what to do and where to go, I am the kind of person who likes having a plan and being on top of things, so this fly by the seat of my pants is just crazy.

Hope you enjoy your gardening, can't wait to see what you grow :)

Gardening is so relaxing.
Laundry always seems never ending doesn't it?
Hope you have a good week. :)

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.
