New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
I'm finally going to make Sandra's Banana Jam.  I'm hoping to do that today.

In the garden::::
My strawberries are growing like crazy.  That's all the fruit or veggies we have this year.  The house we moved into seems to have some Irises and Lilies planted outside as well as an amazing amount of mint. It smells so good.

Favorite photo from the camera::::



Homemaking Tip::::
Before you start prepping for cooking a meal, fill the kitchen sink halfway with soapy hot water, and put all of your dirty measuring cups, mixing bowls, etc in the water as you use them.  It shortens the clean up time by a lot which is my least favorite part of cooking.

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::
I don't have one this week.  I just haven't had a lot of time for blog reading lately but I'm hoping to jump right in today.

Praying for::::
Right now just praying for friends and family.

Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::
Be strong and courageous.  Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.  He will not leave you or forsake you. ~ Deuteronomy 31:6

Your weather sounds good. We supposed to get up to 106 today, Lord help me. LOL Might as well go on back to Arizona.

Hope you have an awesome day, and let me know if you try the jam and how you like it :)

I am so sad I didn't get to plant strawberry plants this year. I am going to plant them next year no matter what!

I've heard that Kidnapped for Christ was pretty good but haven't gotten the chance to stop and watch it.

Hope you have a great week.

Haha, cooking is my least favourite part of...cooking! But you are right, filling a bowl with water and washing as you go does make the whole thing a lot easier. x

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.
