Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and gloomy with a chance for rain.


Things that make me happy: 
When people tell me how well behaved my kids are and how cute they are.

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 can I say, I'm a slow reader...



What's on my TV today: 
Jersey Shore.

On the menu for dinner:
Chilli and corn bread


On my To Do List:
Laundry, pick up the house, grocery shopping, doctor's appointments.


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I have no idea.  I have so many to try.


In the craft basket:
I'm still working on a cute bird pillow softie.  I've been too busy to get into the sewing room.

Looking forward to this week:
My husband and I's 3 year anniversary.

Tips and Tricks:
When your child is being impatient and antsy at the grocery store, go to the floral department and see if they offer free balloons.  The grocery store I go to gives out free balloons to small children if you go ask (I was told this by a cashier) and it keeps the child out of trouble and occupied. 


My favorite blog post this week: 
Sarahkscoular - #sendskoolatothesuperbowl  
It's amazing to me what is possible when people work together.  I wish I would have gotten the chance to donate to the fund.  I may still do it, just to help with any extra fees.

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




Lesson learned the past few days:
I know I'm way late on this, but don't sweat the small stuff.  It could all be so much worse.


On my mind:
My doctor's appointment tomorrow.  I'm so super nervous.

Meagan- I used Dr. Waxman at Providence in KCK. It's the same one Shawn's family uses. She was really nice although a little strange.
Sarah- Thanks and welcome to my blog. Haha!

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...

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 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
