Happy Monday! Can you believe it is February already? Time is truly flying by.



The Weather:::
It's about 40 degrees right now.  It's supposed to get quite rainy later.

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch with all 3 girls sitting around me on their iPads and I'm definitely getting a case of sensory overload. (Sydney is home sick today.  She seems fine now but had a fever all day yesterday and all night last night.)

Thinking:::
I seem to have a lot on my mind, mostly with this house buying stress.  There is just no inventory here right now, and I'm hoping this start to hit the market because I really can't wait to buy and have our own home.

Looking forward to:::
Naptime! LOL, no honestly just getting things done.  We seemed to have gotten most of the house back in order this weekend so just maybe some organizing and getting rid of things.

On my reading pile:::
Still working on Red Queen.

On my tv:::
I've been watching lots of HGTV lately.  

Things that make me happy:::
Spending time with family.  Nothing makes me happier than seeing the kids enjoying time with their grandparents and aunts and uncles.

 What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

Looking around the house:::
There are some glasses in the kitchen sink that need to be put in the dish washer, and the living room is covered in toys.  The girls are all cuddled up on the couches with their iPads while I sit in the middle of them all.  Shawn is in meetings in his office as he usually is on Monday mornings.

From the camera:::


On my prayer list:::
My good friend, who finally had her baby less than two weeks ago, but lost her father last week.

Bible verse, devotional, favorite quote:::

Potato Soup

By
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.
