Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Very cold!  Right now it's about 30 degrees although it's supposed to get to about 40 today.  Hello heat wave.  Haha!


Things that make me happy: 
Getting the house work done nice and early!



Book I'm reading:
I'm reading two right now actually.  The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson and As Always, Julia the letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto by Joan Reardon.



What's on my TV today: 
Right now it's  the Today show, but tonight is the new episode of The Closer that I'm super excited about.


On the menu for dinner:
Spaghetti with Meatballs, salad, and homemade bread.


On my To Do List:

Get the laundry finished

Clean the kitchen floor
Clean the bathroom


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I'm dying to make chocolate croissants!



In the craft basket:
Right now, I'm working on a cute bird pillow softie.




Looking forward to this week:
Getting the whole family back on a schedule.


Tips and Tricks:
Take about 15 minutes everyday to pick up the counter tops and tables.  They seem to be our catch all areas.  Once they are picked up, I feel so much better and relaxed.


My favorite blog post this week: 
I, unfortunately, haven't been able to read any yet.


No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):







Lesson learned the past few days:
Be open to exploring new traditions.


On my mind:
Starting fresh and new on this new year.

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...

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...
