Happy Homemaker Monday



Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
Coffee and a bagel with cream cheese.

Looking around the house::::
I need to do a few dishes, pick up a few things in the kitchen, change the litter box, and do some laundry, but really I don't have too much to do around the house.  We have made a few fun purchases to make the house a little more homey like a tray for our ottoman and placemats for the kitchen table.  I still don't feel like this is our home, it's a house we live in to get by.  This house just feels tiny and squished together and very cold.

On today's to do list::::

Laundry.....I have a couple of loads to wash, dry, and put away but not over bearing.

Cleaning.....My kitchen is pretty much all that needs it.  The dishwasher needs unloaded and reloaded.  The floor needs swept, and there is some minor picking up necessary out there.

Crocheting.....I'm working on a mat thing for the table to put our pretty fall decorations on.  I'm so excited.

Cooking....I have to make a salad for our dinner with my mom and step father tonight.  I'm thinking about a dessert as well... maybe.

Dance.... Sydney has dance this evening clear across town.

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.
