Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning everyone!  I suppose it's almost noon though.  Hope everyone is having an alright day.  I personally am feeling a bit under the weather.  Shawn doesn't have work today, well, because he's an unemployed bum for a day and starts his new job tomorrow.  He'll be in Boston all week, which unless you've been living under a rock for the whole winter season and particularly the last few weeks, I don't have to tell you that I'm worried about him getting in and out of Boston.  Hahaha!  Alright, lets get to it.  Here's my Happy Homemaker Monday post.



The weather outside is::::
It's so cold right now! And it appears it will be all week long...



On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Blueberry oatmeal with a banana cut up in it, half of a pear cut into slices, a plum, a glass of mighty mango juice and a cup of coffee with Italian sweet cream creamer.  A fruit filled brekky.


As I look outside my window:::
The sky is white instead of blue, the ground is mostly covered in snow and it just looks cold.


Right now I am::::
Avoiding housework, sitting at the kitchen table, listening to Sydney and Rylie bicker back and forth, while waiting on Shawn to get home from his physical.
As I look around the house::::
I have some breakfast dishes and some glasses from last night needing to go in the wash, I have a load of laundry to fold and one to throw in the dryer, as well as a load of diapers to wash. The living room blankets are all unfolded and thrown on the floor, the beds aren't made and the playroom looks as if a tornado has blown right through it.  Scottie is sleeping in her highchair so soundly next to me though. She's so sweet.


On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have a load to put away, a load in the dryer, one in the washer and a load of diapers to go in the washer.   
Cleaning....Make beds, fold the blankets in the living room, do the breakfast dishes, sweep the kitchen floor, clean the downstairs shower.
Sydney to dance
Ben to wrestling... it's his last week 
Help Shawn pack for his trip this week


Currently reading::::

On the TV today::::
Sydney has had me watching Mako Mermaids or something on Netflix with her all morning.

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.
