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...

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...
