Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Hot and humid.  Pretty much miserable to be outside in.

Things that make me happy: 
Getting a decent night's sleep.  Especially when Sydney stays in her bed all night.  

Book I'm reading: 
Sliding into Home by Kendra Wilkinson
What's on my TV today: 
Tonight, The Closer and Part 1 of the Real Housewives of New York Reunion

On the menu for dinner:
Pancakes

On my To Do List:
I've gotten pretty much everything done.
Make beds
Stay cool

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
It's been so hot that my cooking has been kept at an easy few recipes that don't heat up the house, but there are plenty of yummy looking recipes I'd like to try.

In the craft basket:
Hoping to get my old doll house from my family soon and I'm going to start making fun things for it.  The kids will have a blast.
Looking forward to this week:
Getting a new schedule hammered out so we aren't staying up so late!
Tips and Tricks: 
I can't think of anything off the top of my head today.

My favorite blog post this week: 
I have gotten way behind on reading blogs.  I'll try to catch up for next week.

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


Lesson learned the past few days: 
There will always be people that disappoint you.  Don't let them bring you down.  Just be thankful for what you do have and worry about yourself and your family.

On my mind:
Car trouble!  It's the worst.  I'm hoping that whatever is wrong with my car is an easy fix.

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...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
