Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning!  I had a very productive weekend and while we had some rough patches, I'm fully ready to get into this week.  Hope this morning finds you all well and rested.


The weather outside is::::
It's incredibly frigid today!  Had to park in the lot at Ben's school and run in with him today.  By the time I was back at the car, my face burned and my hands were like ice.  At least most of this week will be 30s instead of the 20s we had all last week.  I really can't complain much, except that we barely got any snow last week.




On the breakfast plate this morning::::
So far, just a hot cup of spiced cider.  Might eat some yogurt and granola in a moment though.

As I look outside my window:::
Every thing is covered in a layer of white icy frost that won't be going away today.  Even though we have no snow, it does feel like winter is here.  The sun is shining and it's beautiful.  I'm so excited for winter to be here.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch, sipping hot spiced cider, watching the Today show on the TV.  Apparently One Direction is on.  Sydney and Rylie are singing loudly with them and dancing while Scotland is sitting in her exersaucer watching them and bouncing along.  It's something else...


As I look around the house::::
I have a couple baskets of laundry to fold and put away.  I need to vacuum and desperately need to dust.  We had a productive weekend that left most of the house incredibly clean.  Shawn even got down on his hands and knees and scrubbed the kitchen floor.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry.....I have about 2 or 3 baskets to fold and put away.
Cleaning.....I'm' planning to dust and vacuum and maybe clean the glass.
Dance.... Sydney has dance this evening clear across town.
Meeting.... Tonight, we have a parents meeting for Ben to possibly wrestle this winter.
Grocery Shopping.... We put an order in to Amazon Pantry for some non parishables, but I need to do a list maybe put in another order and get a run to the grocery store in as well.

Currently reading::::
Game of Thrones by George R R Martin
I'm also reading Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary to the kids.  They are really enjoying it and I love reading them books that I enjoyed as a child as well.

What I am creating at the moment::::

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...
