Happy Homemaker Monday



As I look outside my window:::
It's 15 degrees out right now.  It's seriously cold, and I'm not digging it.  Especially after the 60 some degree day we had yesterday.

Right now I am::: 
I'm taking a moment to sit down on the couch before picking up Ben from school.

Thinking and pondering:::
Getting prepared for the baby.  Coming up with a name and getting everything ready as well as Rylie and Sydney's birthdays before the baby gets here and then the out of state wedding a month after the baby is born that we will be attending.  I'm stressing!
 
On my bedside table:::
Bridget Jones the Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding.  I'm rereading it so that I can read the new one.
 
On my tv tonight:::
I'm not really sure at the moment.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

My simple pleasure:::

Cooking in my kitchen when it's already clean.  

Lesson learned the past week:::  
Oh, there is so much, I'm just having a hard time following these learned lessons.

Looking around the house:::
The house is full chaos. The girls have toys everywhere that they will be picking up shortly.

From the camera:::


 

Prayer List:::
My family as we go through this fun yet stressful time.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
I don't have one today, although I should work on that.

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.
