Happy Homemaker Monday

I promise, I'm still alive and kicking over here.  My laptop charger bit the big one so I've been patiently waiting for a new one.  I have one now and am back.


Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
Coffee and an almond croissant blossom from Starbucks.

Looking around the house::::
My kitchen counters have piles of crap all over them that I need to go through, the table is covered in Legos, and the sink is full of dirty dishes.  My hallway is filled with piles of dirty laundry and baskets of clean laundry to fold and put away.  I have a lot to get done.  Slowly yet surely...

On today's to do list::::
Laundry.....Plenty to wash, dry, fold, and put away.
Cleaning.....My kitchen needs a complete overhaul!
Meal planning.....And making a grocery list
Dance

I love your scripture! Sometimes it is easier said than done.

I am so bad when it comes to meal planning. Its really not that hard I just always have to force myself to do it.

I hope you have a great week!
