Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning, or night rather since I'm getting to this so late... Oops. It's been a busy day.  Alright, lets get right to it, shall we?

Happy Homemaker Monday


The weather:::
Today was a bit rainy but the rest of this week is supposed to be quite cold.


On my reading pile:::  
Dragonfly in Amber (2nd Outlander book) by Diana Gabaldon
 

On my TV:::
I've mostly just been watching vlogs as I get my housework done but am hoping to catch an episode of Westworld with the hubby before bed.


On the menu for this week:::
Monday -  Spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
Tuesday - Beef stew and homemade bread
Wednesday - Chicken chili
Thursday - Chicken with veggies.
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 


On my to do list:::
Still to do is folding laundry.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I've got to make the name thingys to go over the girls beds.  Ben has one with his name and Scotland has one with her name, but Sydney and Rylie don't have them yet.  Their room has now officially been painted so it needs to happen. Shawn told me that is my chore for tomorrow.  Finally a fun chore. Hahaha!


Looking around the house:::
Just finished picking up, washing dishes, etc.  Have to get this giant pile of laundry folded and I can go to bed.

From the camera:::
My siblings and I on Christmas day.



Something fun to share:::
Next week, I'll be going on a short girls trip with my mom and sister.  It'll be my first time being away from my babies over night, which I'm dreading.  I'll be gone for 3 nights. My little brother is graduating from basic training with the Army National Guard.


What I'm wearing today:::
Today, I wore a pair of jeggings and a large purple sweater. Nice and comfy for a cool rainy day.


One of my simple pleasures:::
Snuggles with my littles. I think everyone can agree.  There is nothing better than cuddles from your little ones, especially as they grow bigger and too cool for their mommas.

Bible verse, Devotional:::  
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.  ~ Ecclesiastes 3:11

I'm eating a turkey bacon and gouda sandwich and drinking my venti mocha with 2 pumps of pumpkin spice. As I look outside my window::: The sun is shining so bright and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The leaves are just starting to change. We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

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.
