Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Warmer than it has been.  I think it's like mid to high 40s today.  


Things that make me happy: 
My kids sleeping in their very own beds and having my bed to my husband and myself.


Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson  Only a few pages left and I have The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson on standby.  


What's on my TV today: 
Harry's Law is on tonight and Season 2 of The Office on Netflix.


On the menu for dinner:
I think we're getting sushi for Valentine's Day and burgers for the kids.


On my To Do List:
Make woopie pies and cupcakes.

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:


The Dugger's Tatertot Casserole


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


Looking forward to this week:
New fabric and books should be delivered any day.  


Tips and Tricks:
There is no shame in putting your children in front of the TV if you have something you absolutely have to get done.  As long as you don't do it all day, everyday, their brains will not turn to mush.


My favorite blog post this week: 
I, sadly, have gotten very behind on my blogging, and blog reading.

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





Lesson learned the past few days:
This is pretty obvious, but while hard work isn't any fun, it's almost always rewarding.  

On my mind:
Finding a new place to live.  It's frustrating and exhausting, but I know it's the right decision.

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...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
