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!

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
