Happy Homemaker Monday





The weather:::
This weekend was chilly and rainy. Today is the same. I think it's actually supposed to be this way all week long.


On my reading pile:::
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. I've been devouring her books lately. I love how light and fun they are.


Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
I didn't really watch any movies or shows this weekend. I watched KU basketball, when my Jayhawks lost, but that was pretty much it. 


On my TV:::
I can't wait to watch the new season of Grace and Frankie. Hopefully I'll have some time for that today, but I'm not counting on it.


On the menu for this week:::

Monday
Shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, and cucumber and onions in vinegar

Tuesday
Oven tacos with rice and beans

Wednesday
Chicken potpie soup w/ rosemary biscuits

Thursday 
30 minute skillet lasagna with broccoli and asparagus

Friday 
Sesame noodles, honey soy shrimp, roasted broccoli

Saturday

Sunday



On my to do list:::
Monday - Grocery delivery should be here between 10-11am. Housework, editing, Sydney and Rylie dance class, Ben's clay class, Sydney's soccer practice
Tuesday - Housework, editing, Ben's soccer practice
Wednesday - Ben and Sydney marathon club, Ben's drawing class
Thursday - Ben's soccer practice
Friday - Housework


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't been working on anything lately. Need to work on Ben's upholstered headboard for his bed. Also took a break from my crochet virus blanket until I can go pickup more yarn.


Looking around the house:::
The kitchen needs some light pick up. The kids rooms are disasters but those will have to wait until tomorrow as tonight there is not time. I have plenty of laundry that needs tending to though, and dusting and glass cleaning as well as floor cleaning.  


From the camera:::
Yesterday, the kids had a friend's birthday party at a local park. It was so beautiful out there with the colorful trees.


What I'm wearing today:::
I've got a pair of dark blue jeggings, a white blouse with small navy blue designs all over it, my light blue crystal tear drop necklace and this morning when I went out had on my black and grey rainboots.




One of my simple pleasures:::
I can't think of anything new today. I'm a simple girl. My simple pleasures usually consist of nothingness. Just snuggles, watching tv, reading, maybe playing games with family and friends.


Bible verse, Devotional::: 
Today, it's not religious, it's not in depth, but sometimes I just need to hear it and know I can't be alone in this. After the week I had last week, yup, this needed to be heard and felt.

The blooming trees are pretty aren't they? I was sorry to see KU lose as well although we didn't watch it. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

We're excited about Grace and Frankie too but it's been so long since we watched the show, we backed up to Season 2 to make sure we're current and didn't miss anything. Where do you shop that delivers your groceries? I need to shop there! You look lovely in your photo - have a great week!
Pamela, I don't know if you come back and check on the comments, but I was going to tell you that I shop at Hy-vee. They do delivery or store pickup here, as well as regular shopping. I love it.
