Happy Homemaker Monday



As I look outside my window:::
Everything is covered in white, and it's so cold.  
 
Right now I am::: 
Relaxing on the couch and watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
 
Thinking and pondering:::
Money... I'm so nervous about how much the van is going to cost when we pick it up from the shop tonight.  Also, Rylie's birthday.
  
On my bedside table:::
I've not been great about reading again... I'm still working on Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason
 
On my tv tonight:::
Well right now, trashy reality TV.  As for tonight, I'm not sure, but maybe some The Following.

Listening to:::
Rylie's laughing as she chases the cat back and forth across the living room.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
My crochet mood blanket and a heart bunting for over the fireplace.

My simple pleasure:::
Spending time with my family.  Not doing anything specific.  Maybe just watching a movie or playing a game, or even just sitting down for dinner together.

Lesson learned the past week:::  
I'm still working on it, but PATIENCE!

Looking around the house:::
The house is pretty clean from the work Shawn and I put in this weekend.  Shawn is at work, Ben is at school, Sydney is laying on the couch not feeling too good and Rylie is playing with her Little People village in the corner of the living room.

From the camera:::


Prayer List:::
My husband for safe travels this week.  Myself to calm down a little, since I'm over stressed.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

You mood blanket is beautiful. I wish I could crochet like you and Sandra. I do not seem to have the patience to work on it. Quilting has become my thing recently.

Have a great week. I pray your van repairs were not too expensive.

Hope you're having a good week so far :)

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.
