Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Yesterday it was 90 degrees, today it's much cooler, but still comfortable.

Things that make me happy: 
Snuggling with my babies.


Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
I haven't gotten much reading done in the past few weeks.

What's on my TV today: 
I have to catch up on some shows from this weekend.  The Real Housewives of Orange County and Sister wives to be specific.


On the menu for dinner:
Maybe Taco Soup.  I haven't gotten to the grocery store yet and don't think I'll be going today either.

On my To Do List:

Laundry
Make the beds
Floors
Glass
Dusting

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:

General Tso's Sauce - It's extremely spicy!  We grilled some chicken and made some lightly steamed veggies and rice and drizzled the sauce over the top.  


In the craft basket:
Nothing really, but I do have some DIY projects.  


Looking forward to this week:
Playing outside with the kiddos.


Tips and Tricks:
When looking for what apps you need on your phone, google "What apps should I have for and android phone" or iphone.  You'll be amazed at how easy some of these apps can make your life.  Especially since some of them, you may not have even thought of.


My favorite blog post this week: 
I unfortunately don't have one this week.  I've gotten behind on my blogging.



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




Lesson learned the past few days:
Sometimes, it's ok to push your children out of their comfort zone.  Ben has been riding in the same car seat since he was 9 or 10 months old.  Sydney was in desperate need of that car seat and he was really too big for it.  He was terrified of his booster seat.  By terrified, I mean screaming and crying and getting sick to his stomach at just the mention of trying the seat.  This weekend we decided to just bite the bullet and push him into it.  I had to hold his hand, the first 2 trips and then after that, it's been easy sailing.  Sometimes you have to push them into doing things they don't want to do if it will benefit them.


On my mind:
Family time!  We had so much fun yesterday just spending the day together as a family.  We need to do it more.

   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...
