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

By
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...

   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 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
