Happy Homemaker Monday

Ok, I've been MIA for the last couple of weeks.  Life has been full of chaos, family, and food.



The weather outside is::::
It's so cold right now.  On the school run this morning, it was 9 degrees.  



On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Naked Green machine, some pomegranate and cheese slices with crackers

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and there is a little snow on the ground from Saturday night. 

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch typing this and watching Kitchen Nightmares while I type this.  Sydney is laying on the couch watching Peppa Pig and Rylie is watching Casper cartoons in the chair.  Scottie is playing with her toys on the floor and climbing all over her Rody.  

As I look around the house::::
The house is mostly clean, except the kids playroom and the basket of folded and sorted laundry at the bottom of the stairs waiting to be put away.  Shawn and I actually fixed up our bedroom upstairs and I organized the upstairs bathroom last night.  I'm so excited to not only have an incredibly clean house but an organized house, where everything has a place.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have a load or two of laundry to do today.
Cleaning....
In the kitchen.... The dishwasher is full of clean dishes to be put away and the sink has a couple to be loaded up in the dishwasher.  The bakers rack and the freezer has some things on them that need sorting and put away.
In the living room....Vacuum   
In the bedrooms....I still need to make Sydney and Rylie's beds
Playroom....The kids need to pick up their toys and put them away
Extra curriculars.....Sydney has dance tonight and Ben has wrestling
 

Currently reading::::
Hoping to finally get a chance to read Game of Thrones.
  
On the TV today::::
Right now, Kitchen Nightmares.  I do love Gordon Ramsey.  I'm sure later there will be Peppa Pig and I'll watch some vlogs.


On the menu this week::::
Monday - Restaurant food
Tuesday - Frozen Pizzas
Wednesday - Pork tenderloin, veggies
Thursday - Tequila lime chicken fajitas
Friday - Pancakes, eggs, and bacon
Saturday - 
Sunday - 


What I am creating at the moment::::
I'm currently doing a granny square bunting for my room.  My room has felt very cold and plain for far too long. I made a painting for the wall, I have a mirror and a painting we were given for Christmas last year that I want in there also.        

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
I don't have anything at the moment, but I'd love to do some recipe reading this week.  My husband made some awesome mashed potatoes this last week.  Seriously, awesome.
 

Favorite photo from the camera::::
This is the face that wakes me up every morning before my alarm goes off.  She's a sweet as pie.

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...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
