Happy Homemaker Monday





The weather in my neck of the woods:
Hot and humid with some pretty scary storms at night.

Things that make me happy: 
Spending time with my family.

Book I'm reading: 
Uncharted TerriTori by Tori Spelling.
What's on my TV today: 
Secret Life of a Teenager, Real Housewives of OC, and a little Downton Abbey with my husband before bed, I'm sure.  
Right now, It's Complicated.  It's my absolute, all time favorite movie!

On the menu for dinner:
Tortellini Salad

On my To Do List:
Laundry

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
I'm dying to try a Jalapeno popper grilled cheese sandwich.  May make some for dinner at some point this week.

In the craft basket:
Nothing at the moment, but hoping to start something soon.

Looking forward to this week:
Hopefully getting rid of the massive amounts of mosquitoes we have in the back yard so we can spend some time playing out there.  If anyone has any tricks for this, please help!

Tips and Tricks: 
Sadly, I have nothing today.

My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest - Jake On Parenting
I know I like to their blog some what often, but to see a dad feel this way about his children makes my heart melt.  Seriously, they are such an adorable family.

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



Lesson learned the past few days: 
Some people can be small minded and lack respect for other people's opinions and feelings.  Don't waste your time on these people, even when they make you really angry, because they will never change.  You can only change the way you react to them, and it takes to much energy to be angry.
On my mind:
Enjoying the summer, and spending time with my family.

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...

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 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
