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!

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. 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. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
