Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and lots of snow!


Things that make me happy: 
The snow!  I don't have to go out in it, so we can sit and watch it from inside where we are nice and cozy warm.



Book I'm reading:
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: 
Probably lots of old Will and Grace.

On the menu for dinner:
Chicken tacos with Mango avocado salsa


On my To Do List:LaundryGet chicken going in the crockpot


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
My delicious mac and cheese.


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


Looking forward to this week:
Family time and a more relaxed week.


Tips and Tricks:
Hmm...  I can't really think of any today.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest - Happy Birthday Eliza


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





Lesson learned the past few days:
Don't assume the negative.  It just stresses you and everyone else around you out.  If things turn out to be negative, then deal with it at that time, but maybe they aren't and you stressed for no reason.



On my mind:
Fixing lunch and watching a movie with the kids.

It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board.

It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
