Happy Homemaker Monday

Woo!  I feel like the last couple of weeks have been insane.  We're just adjusting to another new normal with Shawn working from home, and last week was Spring Break. Shawn had to go to Omaha for work, so the kids and I tagged along.  While he was working, we were out exploring and having fun.  We didn't have a single lazy day the entire break.




The weather outside is::::
I think it's supposed to be sort of nice today.  Not quite as warm as I would like but 50s.

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Cinnamon toast crunch, green machine, and a big cup of espresso with Italian Sweet Cream creamer.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and things are starting to turn green and bloom.  It looks like spring.

Right now I am::::
Putting up this post and getting ready to cook lunch.

As I look around the house::::
There is a pile of laundry for me to fold on the couch and the breakfast dishes in the sink. Shawn and Sydney are asleep, snuggled together on the couch for Shawn's lunch break.  Rylie and Scotland are playing in the kitchen and eating yogurt melts.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry
Cleaning
Sydney's dance
Shawn's basketball

 Currently reading::::
Just started reading the first Neverland Girls book to Sydney and I'm still trying to find time in my exhausting and busy schedule to read Game of Thrones.

On the TV today::::
So far nothing, but maybe here shortly I'll get a chance to watch something from my DVR or Stella on Hulu

On the menu this week::::

Monday - Chicken meat balls with yellow rice and veggies
Tuesday -  Pizza
Wednesday - Grilled Chicken and strawberry salad with Cherry vinaigrette and goat cheese
Thursday - Double cut grilled pork chops
Friday - We originally planned for a chicken dish here but because it's Friday and I can't eat meat it will probably be a sushi dinner.
Saturday -  
Sunday - 

What I am creating at the moment::::
Nothing  

Favorite photo from the camera::::

Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::

I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch & craved it with all 3 of my pregnancies so far! ;)

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salad sounds delicious (and very Spring-y too)!

Have a great week!

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...
