Happy Homemaker Monday

Just a quick note.  This is my 500th post!  Yay!  Alright, now on to Happy Homemaker Monday.



The Weather:::
It's starting to be more like fall around here.  I could do without the 80s but, I should complain because even that is cooler than what we were having a couple of weeks ago.



Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch watching the Today Show.

Thinking:
Hoping these lab people for our life insurance, get our messages to reschedule.  I cannot give a urine sample 2 times in 2 or so hours.  Also, I'd really like a nap.

On my reading pile:::
I haven't been reading anything, and it makes me sad.

On my tv:::
At some point today I need to try to watch Breaking Amish and The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

On the menu for this week:::
I haven't been able to plan the menu yet, so as of right now, I'm flying by the seat of my pants.  

Monday - 
Tuesday - 
Wednesday -
Thursday - 
Friday - 
Saturday -
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Pick up the living room and kitchen

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Nothing at the moment, but I'm hoping to work on some halloween decorations.

Looking around the house:::
The living room floor is littered with children toys, and the laundry basket in the hallway is overflowing with clothing for me to was.  Sydney is asleep (she's feeling a little under the weather) on the couch and Rylie is asleep in her playpen.  Morning nap time... I'm hoping to participate soon.

From the camera:::




On my prayer list:::
Anyone who needs it.  I'm praying as the needs come up.  I just can't think of any off the top of my head other than my kiddos, specifically Sydney who has been sick since Friday.

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 am trying to make this scripture in Matthew my motto, since I tend to be an anxious worrier. Hope you got to have your nap. I love naps too. Have a wonderful week.

Oh if I could only learn to not worry, I would have so much extra energy.

Hope you get a nap in and hope the pregnancy is coming along well :)

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.
