Happy Homemaker Monday

I really have been MIA for a couple of weeks.  We've had a lot going on in our home.  We've been under the weather for a couple of weeks as well.  Finally, I think we are getting better and things are getting in order for us.

  
The Weather:::

A little warmer this week than the past week or so.  Maybe we'll be able to get out and enjoy Halloween trick-r-treating on Thursday!




Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the couch while I watch the today show and enjoy a cup of English Breakfast Tea. 

Thinking:::
About how to prepare this pork loin for dinner.  After some research, I think I've come up with a good idea to create a yummy dinner. 

On my reading pile:::
I'm finally going to start Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner. She is my favorite author after all.
Also, Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible.  You should see my cookbooks.  Post its hanging out everywhere "pinning" recipes I can't wait to try, and little notes in the margins when I do try them.  I am a cookbook junky!

On my tv:::
I'm not really sure at this moment.  If the kids allow, then I may get some Walking Dead in, but the kids have to be occupied elsewhere.  Other than that, I'm not sure.  Maybe I'll finally take the opportunity today to get caught up on Downton Abbey.

On the menu for this week:::

Monday - Apricot Glazed Pork Loin, Roasted Veggies, and Homemade bread
Tuesday - Chili and Cornbread  
Wednesday - Pizza
Thursday - Going out for my neices birthday 
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Carve pumpkins with the kids


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't had a chance to do much, although I'm dying to get back to my Granny square blanket, maybe work on a couple of scarves for Sydney and my niece, Langston, and some aprons. 

Looking around the house:::
My house is actually pretty clean.  There are a few toys in the living room to be picked up and a basket of laundry waiting to be washed in the hallway.  The dishwasher is running in the kitchen, the dryer is running.  The girls are both watching Special Agent Oso on their iPads.  I'm so excited to not have a ton of cleaning to do, and to not feel bogged down by chores and a mess.  I can actually enjoy my home.

From the camera::: 
Shawn had been gone all day visiting his uncle a few hours away.  He came home and the kids were so excited.  They all picked Halloween books for him to read to them before bed.



On my prayer list:::
My husband's family as they begin to heal from the passing of Shawn's Grandma.  

Bible verse, Devotional:::

and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us. ~ Romans 5:5

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...

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...
