Happy Homemaker Monday

Hello!  Hope this afternoon finds everyone well.  I've been so busy today with the big kids' dentist appointments, and playing and crafting with the little girls.

The weather.....
We had amazing weather all weekend and now it's so cold.  It's about 34 degrees right now and the windchill is near 0. This morning, it was snowing like crazy, but it didn't amount to anything.  I think it's supposed to only get colder by the end of the week.

Right now I am....
Sitting on the couch cuddled up with Scotland and Rylie, watching Frozen for the bajillionth time.

Thinking....
About everything that I have to get done this tonight, and then this week to get ready for the kids valentine's parties and then Rylie's birthday party on Saturday at Chuck E Cheese.

On my TV.....
Right now, Frozen, but later and this week, Fixer Upper and Property Brothers and who knows what else.

On the menu for this week....
I'm working on my grocery delivery right now.
Monday - Savory Beef & Noodles
Tuesday - Mac 'n' Cheese soup and bread
Wednesday - Grilled cheese and Tomato soup
Thursday - Husband's delight pasta
Friday - Waffles and eggs 

On my to do list....
A load of Laundry
vacuuming
Sydney's dance
Ben's clay class
cook dinner
dishes
Help the kids with their valentine's boxes
Help with homework and listen to the kids reading
Put in a grocery delivery for tomorrow morning.
And on top of it all, Scottie's decided to potty train.

  
In the craft basket....
My corner to corner blanket
Hand made Valentine's from Rylie and Scotland to each other, Ben and Sydney, and grandparents

Looking forward to this week....
Getting everything done so we can enjoy Ben and Sydney's class Valentine's parties on Friday, Rylie's birthday party of Saturday, and Rylie's birthday on Sunday.

Looking around the house....
The house is probably the cleanest it has been in weeks and it makes me so happy.  Maya is laying at my feet.  The girls are up singing and dancing "Let it go" with the movie.

From the camera....
Took Sydney out for a mommy daughter date this weekend.  We got our finger and toe nails done together.  It was a nice time.


On my prayer list.....
My dear friend who lost her father a couple of weeks ago, not even one week after having her baby.  

Bible verse, Devotional....

Whew! It seems like you have a lot on your plate! Prayers to your friend, I lost my father while I was pregnant with my youngest son. It is tough to experience the joy of a baby and the grief of losing a parent at the same time. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Sounds like you have a busy week ahead. Your inspirational is PERFECT advice. I love that picture too. I hope you have a great week.
Wow it does sound like a busy week ahead Lady! Hope the party goes great - and not matter what remember to "Let it Go!" Lol!!

Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week Liz!! xoxo

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.
