Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold

Things that make me happy: 
Waking up to a clean house.


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.  Yes, still.



What's on my TV today: 
Harry's Law.  I missed last week (the pilot episode) but am super excited about tonight's.

On the menu for dinner:
Chicken and potato casserole, and steamed broccoli.


On my To Do List:
Folding laundry.



New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Banana Muffins



In the craft basket:
I think today, we may paint, but I also have some embroidery for the kids rooms I want to work on if I get the chance.


Looking forward to this week:
My organic fruit and veggies delivery.  This week we are getting some really fun veggies, I've never cooked before and don't think I've ever eaten before.


Tips and Tricks:
I don't have any at this time.

My favorite blog post this week: 
Applepocalypse - Snow + Dirt = Snirt
Her kids are so adorable that even though it sounds like they are bumming because of the weather (we are here too) you can't help but smile.
No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):




Lesson learned the past few days:
There's no need to yell when disciplining your children.  They still don't hear you and you just end up with a head ache.


On my mind:
This laundry that is taunting me.

I love your lesson learned, you are so right. Half the time you are the one that ends up frustrated and stressed.

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
