Happy Homemaker Monday



Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
Coffee and a bagel with cream cheese.

Looking around the house::::
I need to do a few dishes, pick up a few things in the kitchen, change the litter box, and do some laundry, but really I don't have too much to do around the house.  We have made a few fun purchases to make the house a little more homey like a tray for our ottoman and placemats for the kitchen table.  I still don't feel like this is our home, it's a house we live in to get by.  This house just feels tiny and squished together and very cold.

On today's to do list::::

Laundry.....I have a couple of loads to wash, dry, and put away but not over bearing.

Cleaning.....My kitchen is pretty much all that needs it.  The dishwasher needs unloaded and reloaded.  The floor needs swept, and there is some minor picking up necessary out there.

Crocheting.....I'm working on a mat thing for the table to put our pretty fall decorations on.  I'm so excited.

Cooking....I have to make a salad for our dinner with my mom and step father tonight.  I'm thinking about a dessert as well... maybe.

Dance.... Sydney has dance this evening clear across town.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
