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 this week:::
I don't believe I'll do much cooking this week, except for Thanksgiving.  We have a really crazy week ahead.

Monday - 
Tuesday - 
Wednesday - 
Thursday -Thanksgiving!!!
Friday - 
Saturday - 
Sunday -  

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Errands

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Currently I'm doing a jar cover.  Lots of little projects to break up the monotony of my granny square blanket.

My simple pleasure:::
Relaxing on the couch by the fireplace watching my morning news.

Lesson learned the past week:::
When you are stressed out and near your breaking point, hang in there. Things will get better. And then you'll find something else to be stressed about.

Looking around the house:::
Sydney and Rylie are watching the iPads.  Maya is laying on the floor snoring loudly.  I have some dishes in the sink calling to me, and plenty of laundry to catch up on.  Harley is laying next to me, keeping my leg and couch warm.

From the camera:::



On my prayer list:::
My son.  He has a minor surgery tomorrow but as I'm sure any parent can agree, it's always traumatic for us when our babies are put under anesthesia.  

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. ~Psalm 106:1

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...
