Happy Homemaker Monday


Happy Homemaker Monday

I missed last week due to technical difficulties, but I'm back this week!  Hope every one had a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day.

The weather.....
Getting warmer again.




Right now I am....
Sitting on the couch, watching Will and Grace with the girls, while Ben watches videos on his iPad.
 
Thinking....
I am just exhausted today.  This weekend was so much fun, but it was gone too fast!

On my reading pile....
Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.  I'm reading it to my kids.  I haven't read it since I was a kid.  

On my TV.....
Will and Grace for now.  Sydney is obsessed with Will and Grace and I have always loved it.  It kind of makes me proud.  Later, fingers crossed that I will finally get the chance to watch Season 3 of Downton Abbey.

What I found while surfing the net....
Great Girls Your Daughter Should Know  It's a great blog post about books and the inspiring female characters in them that every little girl should become acquainted with instead of the Bella in Twilight type.  I'm working my way through this list with my kids.

On the menu for this week....
Monday: Crunchy Beef Casserole
Tuesday: Pizza
Wednesday: Lemon Pork Chops with Mustard Sauce
Thursday: Chicken Thighs with Carrots and Potatoes
Friday: Out to eat
Saturday: Out to eat for Torren's Birthday
Sunday:
On my to do list....
Laundry
Kitchen floor
Dishes

In the craft basket....
Granny Square Blanket

Looking forward to this week....
Ben's last week of school.  I'm a little sad about it, because he loves it so much and I get to go to his school and socialize with his classmates parents.  There are some really amazing, nice, smart women there, but I'm also excited about having him home all summer so we can do lots of other fun things.

Looking around the house....
The kids are playing and making messes.  I have a load of laundry to be folded waiting in the hallway.  There are a few dishes in the sink, and piles of junk on the kitchen table in need of being put away.  

From the camera....



On my prayer list.....
Sandra and her family while they wait for their news to tell them what their future holds.
My husband for safe travels later this week.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Hi, I've just popped by via Sandra :) I love Will & Grace too, such a hilarious show!

The blog post you link to is so great, my little girl is still too young to worry at the moment but I definitely want her to know female characters that are not the 'Bella type' as she gets older!

Have a lovely week :)

Potato Soup

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. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
