Happy Homemaker Monday

As I look outside my window:::
It's sunny and the snow is all melting leaving the world an ugly brown.  This week it's supposed to be beautiful although I fear it will be 10 degrees again soon.
  
Right now I am::: 
Sitting on the ottoman in my living room waiting for our couches and lunch to arrive. 
 
Thinking and pondering:::
Working on the house to get it ready for the baby.  There is so much to do and no time.
  
On my bedside table:::
Have not touched my book in a week or two.  I will be hopefully doing some reading this afternoon or evening.  Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding
 
On my tv tonight:::
The Following

Listening to:::
Sydney's iPad and Rylie's snoring.

My simple pleasure:::
Organizing my calendars.  I don't know why, but I love it.  I have a day planner, a monthly pocket planner, a regular calendar on the wall, and a dry erase calendar and I try to keep all of them updated.  I love them.

Lesson learned the past week:::  
I'm still working on patience.  It will probably be a life long lesson though.

Looking around the house:::
The new couches have arrived and I'm in love.  The kitchen table is cluttered with trash and recycling from Rylie's birthday party this weekend to be put away.  Sydney and Rylie are cuddled up together watching a show on Sydney's iPad.

From the camera:::


Prayer List:::
I have a few friends I'm praying for, and anyone else who could use it.

Bible verse, Devotional:::
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His presence continually! ~ 1 Chronicles 16:11

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...

   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

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...
