Happy Homemaker Monday






The Weather:::
Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though.

Right now I am:
Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor.

Thinking:
How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on.

On my reading pile:::
Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

On my tv:::
I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad.

Something fun to share:::
This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family as well over the years.  This sweet little girl turned 6 and had a gigantic party where she chose to not receive gifts but instead take donations to give to the local humane society.  Such an amazing little girl to do something so grown up.
On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Ham and Cheese sliders
Tuesday - Meat loaf and mashed potatoes
Wednesday - Chicken tacos with cilantro lime rice and beans
Thursday -  Grilled herb chicken breast with veggies and salad
Friday - Cowboy Casserole
Saturday - 
Sunday -


On my to do list:::
Laundry
Dishes
Tidying up the downstairs
Floors
Ben's Art class
Sydney's Dance class

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I started another corner to corner blanket a while ago.  If I get caught up in my video editing this week, then I should have time to work on it.  

Homemaking Tips:::
I don't have any today, but I will be going around to everybody else's blogs today and take some notes.  Hahaha

Looking around the house:::
It is a complete mess! My kids have toys covering every inch of the down stairs.  It really just makes me want to shut down instead of get motivated and clean. At least the kids are happy, right?


From the camera:::



On my prayer list:::
My husband and our family as we are unsure of what the future holds for Shawn's job.  
A very good friend of mine while she awaits the arrival of her new little baby.  She's 3 days past her due date and I'm sure getting quite antsy.

Bible verse, Devotional:::

We're having meatloaf and mashed potatoes today! I've been contemplating giving a corner to corner afghan a try. Maybe after I get a few wips finished up.

Happy Monday!

From the bottom up...a wonderful verse.
We've been in employment limbo for 7 months. It's not a comfortable position to be in. I'm praying right now that your future will be secure and that you can wait on the Lord. I'm really drooling over everyone's menus for the week!
Have a good week!

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. Add the potatoes and minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté all of the ingredients for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and increase th
