Happy Homemaker Monday

I am super late tonight, as it is almost Tuesday now.  I spent most of the morning laying in bed with my kiddos and my afternoon at my in-laws' house, hanging out and enjoying the day and their company.

The weather.....


It's so gorgeous, I can't believe it's August in Kansas!!!

Right now I am....
Sitting in bed watching The Tigger Movie with the kiddos while they should actually be sleeping.

Thinking....
That I'm so exhausted and should be going to sleep soon.

On my reading pile....
I finally started Catering to Nobody by Diane Mott Davidson.  My mom loaned it to me a long time ago and I'm just now getting to it.  I'm also hoping to get to The End of Manners by Francesca Marciano.  My husband just read it for school and said I would like it, so I'm hoping to get that read soon.

On my TV.....
Nothing today really, as I've been out of the house most of the day.  Tonight I'm watching The Tigger Movie with the kids again...

On the menu for this week....

Monday - Left over burgers and chicken sausages
Tuesday -  Savory Beef and Noodles
Wednesday - Pizza
Thursday - Grocery Day
Friday -
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list....
I was sick to my stomach this morning and spent the afternoon in Kansas City, so the things I needed to get done today, did not get done.  Those things are top priority tomorrow.  Dishes and FOLDING LAUNDRY, as well as sweep the kitchen floor.

In the craft basket....
I haven't been working on anything lately.  I've been so busy with everything else.  I would really love to get a chance to sit down and work on my granny square blanket, and I have a paint project I'd love to work on as well.

Looking forward to this week....
Enjoying the last week of summer before school starts on the 19th.

Looking around the house....
The house is in pretty good shape, since my husband cleaned the carpets yesterday and I steam mopped the kitchen floor with moving  all the furniture.  The kids have a bed setup on the floor in my room since my husband is out of town.  I always feel better having them here with me.
  
From the camera....
Shawn was getting ready to leave for a business trip and the kids were loving him up like crazy.  All three of them are climbing on top of him but for some reason you can hardly see Sydney in this picture.

On my prayer list.....
My husband, as he travels for work.
My son, as he starts Kindergarten this week.
Sandra and her family, as they deal with wildfires, job interviews, and illness.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.  Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.  When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions. ~ Mark 11:23-25

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. Add the potatoes and minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté all of the ingredients for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and increase th
