Happy Homemaker Monday


As I look outside my window:::
It's 72 degrees and cloudy.  They are saying it could rain today.  I'd be ok with that.

Right now I am::: 
Finishing a cup of coffee, typing this up, and watching last nights Return to Amish. 

Thinking and pondering:::

What I am creating:::

My blanket.  I'm getting so close to being done.


My simple pleasure:::
Cleaning.  I'm not talking about picking up, but I'm talking real, get in there, deep cleaning. 

Homemaking tips::: 
To get rid of stains from coffee or tea in your mugs, make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice. Put the paste onto the stain and let sit for a while then rinse. (I also use this for stains on my counter tops.)

Looking around the house:::
My house is clean except for the corner where Rylie's toys stay in the living room.  I can't wait to move and not have them in the living room anymore.  Ben and Sydney are laying on the floor behind the couch, by the kitchen watching shows on their iPads.  Rylie, who isn't feeling well, is laying on the couch watching Adventure Time and coughing like crazy.  Scotland, is cuddled up in her boppy on the couch next to me, taking a nap.

From the camera:::
Playing with bubble guns outside.



Prayer List:::
My sister.  My husband as he travels.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

Hi Liz,

Sounds like another busy week and weekend! I remember all the weekends when the kids were in elementary school going to birthday parties in between sports and dance!! They went to a small Catholic elementary/middle school and only had classes with 12 or so kids in them in each grade - we all went to everyone's birthday parties! So much fun - like an extended family. I didn't know you were moving, good for you! Hope it all goes smoothly, eventually all those boxed get unpacked, and if they don't get unpacked then you probably don't need the things inside them, lol. You'll probably end up purging things like Sandra is doing. Have a great week - my school year is winding down, looking forward to hanging out this summer with my friends and family.
Take Care,
Mindy

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me. On my reading pile.... Starting a new one that I picked up last week at one of my favorite stores, Brits.  Jane Austen:  Her Life And Letters by William Austen-Leigh and  Richard Arthur Austen-Leigh On my TV..... Everything from my DVR since we are switching cable providers and will be losing our current DVRs on Wednesday. Also, Call The Midwife, The Bible and Season 3 of Downton Abbey Blog hopping (newly discovered blog).... I don't currently have anything but I hope to soon. On the menu for this week.... I don't really have a menu plan at the moment.  Shawn started a diet full of prepackaged meals and it's thrown my current plan ...
