Happy Homemaker Monday



The Weather:::
It's supposed to be amazing weather.  60s and 70s all week. 

Right now I am: 
Feeding Rylie her Peach Oatmeal Bananas and sipping orange juice.

Thinking:
I have soooooo much to do this week.  

On my reading pile:::
I haven't actually read a book for myself in weeks.  I have some I'd love to read, but no time this week to start them.  For now, it's going to have to be things like Rapunzel and LaLaLoopsy, and whatever other books the kids choose for me to read to them.

On my tv:::
I'm not sure... I need to find something though, since I'll be crafting a good chunk of the day.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Sweet and Sour pork chops
Tuesday - Bourbon chicken and rice
Wednesday - Takeout from somewhere.
Thursday - Thanksgiving 
Friday -  
Saturday -  
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Grocery shopping 
crafting
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Finally finish my fireplace banner, and a nursing cover up

Homemaking Tips:::
Add a dash of salt to a vase of water for fresh flowers.  I don't know why, but for some reason, this helps the flowers live a little longer.

Looking around the house:::
I have piles upon piles of laundry to fold and put away.  My kitchen table is stacked with my current projects.  The big kids are playing in the play room with their blocks, while I feed Rylie and type this up.  We're listening to holiday music.  Yes, Christmas music.  It's my favorite time of year, and between the cooking, crafting, and cleaning I have to do, it helps me stay motivated.

From the camera:::


On my prayer list:::
Anyone who needs one.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. Matthew 6:21

We are listening to Christmas music as well. I agree it helps with the motivation.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

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

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...

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...
