Looking forward to:::
Monday nights we do family dinner with Shawn's parents. It's so nice to sit down to a nice dinner together.


Looking around the house:::
It's 10am and Shawn's breakfast is still on the counter. By now it's freezing cold since it was cooked an hour ago, but since he got this new job, he works nonstop and often on video calls so I can't even run it up to him. Scottie is playing with one or two of the cats and their ball track toy thing behind me. The TV is on down in the living room but I can still hear Dakota (our new dog) sighing heavily in the living room. All the dogs need to go outside but Dakota is put on a leash and goes out front for now since Duchess isn't too accepting of her yet.

From the camera:::
We went to a Weda Skirts concert this weekend. The kids all got to dance and the music was really good.





What I'm wearing today:::
I've got on my jeggings and a grey v-neck tshirt with my Roxi slip on shoes. When I took the kids to school this morning I threw a mustard yellow sweater on, to keep warm.

One of my simple pleasures:::
Snuggling with Scottie while we watch her shows or read her books. I may see the same boring and annoying shows over and over again, or read her favorite books on repeat, but I'm trying to cherish this as much as I can. Next year she goes to kindergarten all day, and I'll be all alone at home.  

 Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::

I haven't watched superstore but the other shows you watch are in my line up so maybe I should.

I really like the verse you shared for the week. Family dinners sound super nice. It's been a long time since we've done any type of family dinner that wasn't holiday related. Hope you have a wonderful week!

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. 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
