Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... Hot and humid today, but it looks like it may be a little cooler later this week.




Right now I am....Watching about the royal baby and on the phone with my mom.

Thinking....About how much I still have to do around the house.  Coming back from vacation is hard.

On my reading pile....The Duggars: 20 and Counting! and The First American Cookbook

On my TV.....Desperate Housewives, and I was also on Baby watch

What I found while surfing the net....Nothing at the moment.  I've been busy working on chores all day and I just got home from vacation yesterday.

On the menu for this week....I have no menu at this point for the week.  I need to come up with one, but just haven't planned that far ahead.  I don't even know what I'm cooking for dinner yet and it's 3:40.

On my to do list....
Finish laundry
Clean the counters in the kitchen
Vacuum
Clean the kitchen floor
Bake cookies

In the craft basket....I'm hoping to get to work on my granny square blanket at some point this evening.  

Looking forward to this week....Getting back into the swing of things since vacation.  

Looking around the house....The kids are resting in their beds and I'm sitting in a clean living room (well except for the floor which needs vacuuming and maybe a good carpet cleaning) while Desperate Housewives is on the TV.  The washer, dryer, and dishwasher are running.  I have candles burning above the kitchen sink, on the fireplace mantel, and on the dresser in my bedroom.  The house smells amazing.

From the camera....




On my prayer list.....
Anyone who needs it right now...

Bible verse, Devotional....
Do not hate hard work;  work was assigned by God.  Ben Sira 7:15

Vacation is wonderful, but coming back is always a bummer LOL The worst part for me is unpacking and knowing I have tons of laundry etc. Ugh!

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 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
