Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
I think the high today is like 25 degrees.


Things that make me happy: 
When my husband helps me with the housework even though he doesn't have to.  I know that sounds bad, but last night, I was picking up the kids toys and he was doing homework at the kitchen table and he stopped just to help me.  Makes me feel good.

Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson  I'm hoping to finish it this week.  



What's on my TV today: 
Harry's Law tonight and today, gotta watch last weeks Grey's anatomy and Kennedy's home movies.


On the menu for dinner:
My Aunt Marci's Taco Soup recipe


On my To Do List:
Fold Laundry


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Hot Artichoke and Cheese Dip 
I made it for the Super bowl yesterday and it was a major hit.


In the craft basket:
More decor for the kids room.


Looking forward to this week:
Getting Ben's new big boy bed and all the kids sheets should be delivered this week as well.


Tips and Tricks:
When making a large purchase (mattress, tv, etc) ask lots of questions because you may figure out a way to lower the cost.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Domestic Wonder/Life Simplified - Potty Training Tips

She's such a wonderful person/wife/mother.  I really love her advice and learn a lot from her.


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





Lesson learned the past few days:
It's alright to have a lazy day every now and then during the week, because you probably won't get to have one on the weekend.

On my mind:
Trying to get my poor sick boy healthy and hoping he doesn't spread this virus to his sister.

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.
