Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and Rainy

Things that make me happy: 
Family time!

Book I'm reading:
Hoda: How I survived war zones, bad hair, cancer and Kathie Lee. by Hoda Kotb  I love it.  You'll be just sitting down to read and next thing you know, you've read 50 pages.  Don't forget the tissue for this read.  She's an amazing woman and shares a lot of ups and downs, personal and professional.

What's on my TV today: 
Tonight is Bethenny Ever After and Secret Life of the American Teenager.  Today, I need to watch this weekend's Mob Wives.


On the menu for dinner:
Taco Soup and corn bread

On my To Do List:
Vacuuming
Sweeping
Dusting
Glass

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Nothing at the moment.


In the craft basket:
I haven't gotten anything started yet so probably about the same as last week. 


Looking forward to this week:
Maybe some time to relax.  I believe Mom's wedding reception is on Saturday so I'm looking forward to a chance on catching up with some old family and friends.


Tips and Tricks:
I unfortunately have nothing today.


My favorite blog post this week: 
I haven't had the chance to do much blog reading since my lap top died.  Now I have to sneak away when I can into the office and use the desk top in there.


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



Hahah! This is my husband and I when we were about 16.



Lesson learned the past few days:
Back up your hard drive!  I'm so scared that all of my photos are gone.  They were all on my laptop and now, I'm in limbo...

On my mind:
I have so much on my mind today.  Nothing really serious, just the normal.  My book I'm reading, cooking dinner, the housework I have to do, etc, but it's got my stomach in knots.

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   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...
