OK, I'm quite late today but better late than never right? Hope today finds everyone well.  I'm also working on an update and really want to do a day in the life post tomorrow.


The weather outside is::::
Cold! Very cold!  I think the high today is 28 but it appears that it's supposed to be 40s the rest of this week. 

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
A delicious but cold coffee and a pear.  I wanted eggs but my morning got away from me.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and it's somewhat lying to me, because it looks like it should be nice enough to play outside but when you step out, the wind is so cold it burns.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch watching Peppa Pig with my kids.
As I look around the house::::
I have a basket of laundry begging to be folded on the chair next to me and a little picking up to do in the kitchen.  We also have a giant box of Christmas decorations in middle of the kitchen to pick up.
On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have one more load in the dryer but about two loads and the hang drying to fold.
Cleaning.... Cleaning up the kitchen.  I've done a ton of dishes and picking up already today since we bought new plates, silver wear and pots and pans.
Errands.... Have to run by the bank to pay rent and run by the milk store.
Cooking.....Hopefully my delivery will get here in time for dinner.  If not we'll be making eggs or grilled cheese and tomato soup.
Dance.... Sydney has dance at 5:30
Wrestling.... Ben has wrestling at 6:00

Currently reading::::
I still haven't had much opportunity to read and am only about 100 pages into the first Game of Thrones book.  It really is pitiful of me...
On the TV today::::
Apparently just Peppa Pig as that is all that's been on since we woke up this morning.
On the menu this week::::
Monday - Taco Soup and cornbread
Tuesday - Pork chops, mac and cheese, and veggies
Wednesday - Chicken enchiladas with green sauce
Thursday - Spaghetti with meat sauce and bread
Friday - Pancakes, bacon and eggs
Saturday - 
Sunday - 
What I am creating at the moment::::
I wanted to make a new Doctor Who ornament to go with my Tardis.
New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
Nothing new at the moment.
Favorite photo from the camera::::
 


Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::

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...

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
