Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
It's 49 degrees right now.  I think it's going to get up into the 60s today, but also supposed to rain all day.

Things that make me happy: 
Daylight Savings Time ending

Book I'm reading: 
Cleaving by Julie Powell


What's on my TV today: 
I have no idea, maybe last weeks Grimm and Once Upon A Time.

On the menu for dinner:
I believe we are going out to a family birthday dinner  at Cinzetti's

On my To Do List:
Laundry
Bed making
Dishes
Vacuuming

 New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
My husband is always on Reddit and he recently found their food subreddit so he has been sending me all sorts of things he wants to try.  I think he wants me to make this tomorrow: For The Love of Cooking - Pumpkin cookies with cinnamon icing

In the craft basket:
I'm about to start a wall cross stitch project for the kids room and play room.

Looking forward to this week:
Hopefully getting our schedule worked out so I actually have some me time.

Tips and Tricks: 
This may be silly, but seeing as how I'm not supposed to do the vacuuming due to "light duty", when my husband does the vacuuming and then my kids immediately drop chip crumbs or something on the carpet, instead of waiting for him to come home so he vacuum again, I've discovered a lint roller works just fine cleaning up the little pieces you can't get with your hands.

My favorite blog post this week: 
I've been really bad about blog reading lately only reading about the 3 normal blogs I religiously read, however I did find a blog I'm kind of in love with IHeart Organizing.

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


Lesson learned the past few days: 
Nobody really reaps the benefits on the night you "gain an extra hour of sleep" no matter how hard you try.  It's just like setting your alarm forward so you will think it is later than it is.  It doesn't work.  You end up saying, well I can stay up an extra hour and finish this movie, or your internal clock doesn't get word of the change and wakes you up earlier than you were planning.

 On my mind:
Getting the kids on decent schedules and sticking to it, even with our busy lives.

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...

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...
