Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
I think it's supposed to be mild and rainy.

Things that make me happy: 
Having a completely clean and decluttered house.

Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson


What's on my TV today: 
Secret Life of the American Teenager on Netflix.


On the menu for dinner:
My husband requested Bierocks, but I don't believe I have everything we need and he has the car, so I'm thinking sweet and sour pork chops with rice and steamed veggies.


On my To Do List:

Laundry

Dinner

Dusting
Clean the glass
Wrap Sydney's presents


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:

I've been really bad and haven't been cooking lately.  We've been so busy cleaning out the mess that was our junk rooms and are now our garage and office, that we've not been cooking.

In the craft basket:
Nothing at the moment, but I think I'm going to work on things for the kids rooms.


Looking forward to this week:
My baby girl is turning 1 on Wednesday.


Tips and Tricks:
I don't think I have one again this week.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest-Favorite Children's Books
Who doesn't love Children's books?!?!  I get worn out on reading the same books over and over again so I'm always looking for more.

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




Lesson learned the past few days:
Don't put off decluttering.  The mess just multiplies.

On my mind:
Getting ready for Sydney's birthday and relaxing after a few weeks of hardcore organizing in the house.

I agree with the decluttering! I can't stand a cluttered house. So if I just do things through out the day it gets done sooner.

I hope your little one has a great 1st birthday :)

   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...

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...
