Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
It's snowy and cold.  I'm so ready for winter to be over.  

Things that make me happy: 
Getting sleep, which I haven't gotten in a few days.


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 Season 2


On the menu for dinner:
I'm not exactly sure since we are doing a family get together.  What ever it is, I'm sure it will be tasty.

On my To Do List:

Laundry
Dusting
Clean the glass
Make the beds
Make brownies to go with dinner



New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:

I've been dying to try Chicken Potpie


In the craft basket:
I'm trying to come up with something for my daughter's side of the room.


Looking forward to this week:
Hopefully warm weather so we can go to the park and get the rest of our flower bulbs planted


Tips and Tricks:
This may be obvious to some people but I didn't know this.  To help ease a fever in a child, get a washcloth wet with somewhat cold water and softly wipe their head, face, and neck with it.  Last night, Sydney had a fever.  We gave her tylenol and got no result but my husband said he remembered his parents doing this thing with the washcloth to his sister when she would get sick.  We tried it and it worked almost immediately.  The fever broke and she was asleep in no time.


My favorite blog post this week: 

Spaulding Family - Joy  She wrote a great post about letting go and leaving what you can't control to God and it was definitely inspiring.  While I don't consider myself a religious person, I'm definitely a spiritual person and think this is something that most people could use to help them in tough times.



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




Lesson learned the past few days:
I don't know if I really learned a lesson...  I'm sure I did, but I just can't think of what it was.

On my mind:
Taking a nap!  Haha!

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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

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...
