Happy Homemaker Monday


I finally got my laptop fixed and home, so now I get to join back into HHM and I couldn't be more excited!

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather.....It appears it's going to be warm, but reasonable!





Right now I am....Sitting on the couch yawning away!

Thinking....How tired I am, and I'm hoping the kids go to bed early tonight.  Also, how much I have to do before our vacation.

On my reading pile....Duggars 20 and counting!

On my TV.....Desperate Housewives

What I found while surfing the net....Nothing since I've not really had opportunities to surf.

On the menu for this week....This week is really funky as we are leaving for vacation Wednesday evening, so we are eating what we have in the fridge instead of grocery shopping and having food go bad.

Monday - Pizza
Tuesday -  Melt in your mouth chicken
Wednesday - Something pasta with groundbeef probably
Thursday - Vacation
Friday - Vacation
Saturday - Vacation
Sunday - Vacation

On my to do list....
The next two days are busy busy busy!  I have laundry and dishes to do (of course) then...
Get Ben's birth certificate from Topeka
Take Sydney to the doctor
Get Ben and Sydney enrolled in their schools
Finish packing

In the craft basket....At this moment nothing, just my blanket I haven't had the chance to work on lately.

Looking forward to this week....VACATION!  We are going to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and Table Rock Lake.

Looking around the house....It's a bit of a mess, as it usually is at this time of evening.  Toys and such are thrown about.  There is laundry waiting in the hallway to wash, and a basket already folded needing to be put away on my bed.  I have a sink full of dishes needing to be put in the dishwasher.  The girls are goofily playing together in the playpen next to me and Ben is cuddled up with me watching some lego movie on Netflix.  Our new little kitten Harley Quinn is playing in the window.


From the camera....
My three favorite things in this whole world!




On my prayer list.....
My husband's grandmother as she continues to be sick and has an appointment with an oncologist this week.

Bible verse, Devotional....
"Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.  Sufficient for a day is its own evil." Matthew 6:34

I hope you check out the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs. There's also a beautiful garden somewhere downtown there.

Thank you Debbie. I'm hoping to get as much done as possible. You have a great week also.

Cassie, I didn't remember to look for Crescent Hotel. Dang it. It looks beautiful in the photos. We'll at least have to go by and see it. We are staying at Basin Park which looks pretty amazing, but I'm not really sure what we are planning on doing while we are there. Just kind of flying by the seats of our pants. Haha!

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.
