Happy Homemaker Monday

By


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

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...
