A nice relaxing weekend.

We had a really nice relaxing time at our house this weekend.  It was nice, because last week I was extremely unmotivated and exhausted.  Maybe it will give me the nice jump start to this week I needed.  Today will be full of errands before work, so no time for a craft with Ben before I work this evening.  I should be going in a little early though so maybe when I come home we'll have time.

Saturday, we laid around, watched Ben's movie - Cars (he's an addict) and played with toys.


















Later in the afternoon Shawn's parents came over and we ate chili, rotel cheese dip, and chicken dip.  We watched Cars again.  They hadn't seen it and because Ben loves it, we all watched it together.  After they left, Shawn, Ben and I made chocolate chip cookies together.

































































































The cookies came out super yummy and I got to use my new cookie dough scoop I got for Christmas.

Sunday, we laid around, took a nice nap as a family and got a lot done around the house.  I wish I could take credit for most of it, but I can't.  My husband was a cleaning machine!  He cleaned both of the bathrooms, and swept and mopped the kitchen floor.  I got all caught up on laundry.

It was a really wonderful weekend.  Also, Maya has been enjoying the snow, but because of the cold temperatures we haven't really been letting her spend a lot of time outside.  Here's a picture to leave you all with.  We jokingly call this her cocaine nose.

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...
