Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning!  It's a new day and a new week.  I'm exhausted from our mini weekend holiday.  Hope this Monday morning finds everyone well.  Now, lets get on with it.


The weather outside is::::
COLD! Very cold, but it will be nice and warm later today.


On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Blueberry oatmeal with a banana, some green machine, and I'm thinking about making some coffee.

As I look outside my window:::
Everything is covered in frost.  It looks cold but beautiful.  Later today though, it will be really warm.

Right now I am::::
Sitting at the kitchen table typing up this post and eating my breakfast.
As I look around the house::::
Sydney is sitting at the table watching the Fresh Beat band on her iPad, Scottie is sleeping in her carseat on the table, and Rylie is still asleep in her bed upstairs.  The house could use a little picking up, and I still have a bag or two to unpack from this weekend.  I also have a little bit of laundry piled up from this weekend to fold and some to wash.
On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I need to fold the clothes from our weekend holiday and wash the kids sleeping bags, and our clothes from yesterday.
Cleaning....In the kitchen....Dishes, and the floor really could use some attention, so I'll be sweeping and mopping it.  Also, there are a couple bags left in the kitchen on the floor that need unpacked.
In the living room....Just need to fold up the couch blankets, put the pillows back on the couches and pick up a couple of toys.
In the bedrooms....The beds need to be made.   
In the bathrooms....Maybe a quick wipedown, but I tried to leave the house clean before we left so I wiped them all down Friday.
Grocery shopping.... I don't dare do a big trip with the kids, but I do need a few things from the shop. I also need to work on my meal plan.
Cooking.....I'm not sure yet what I'll be cooking today, but I sure will be.

On the TV today::::
I've been watching Miranda on Hulu and laughing so hard.  Miranda Hart is hysterical!  I'll probably watch some more of it today.

What I am creating at the moment::::

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.
