Happy Homemaker Monday

HHM



The weather in my neck of the woods:
It appears that today is supposed to be wonderful.  I may take the kids out to the park.  



Things that make me happy: 
Spending all day with the kids for summer break.  Don't get me wrong, sometimes they drive me nutty, but even then, I love getting to be with them.

Menu for this week:
M- Creamed Chip Beef on toast
T- Pizza
W- Chicken curry with rice
Th- Sweet and Sour Pork chops
F-

What's on my TV today: 
I'm watching some vlogs right now as I type this up.

Looking around the house:
My bedroom is a complete tip, I really need to do some work in here. We bought a new shelf for the kitchen, so the kitchen is actually looking quite nice.  Also, last week I completely redid the kids playroom.  I mean, new shelving and toy buckets. It looks so nice in there and the kids can actually put their toys away so much easier.

On my To Do List:

Laundry
Take the kids out to the park
Syd- dance tonight

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Nothing new really.  I did just buy a new cookbook but have been so busy I haven't had time to completely look through it.

In the craft basket:
Nothing at the moment but I've been promising the girls banners with their names on them for over their beds.  I need to get that done.  Also, I'm dying to get back crocheting again.

Looking forward to this week:
Just the usual. Sydney has dance tonight, Ben has baseball practice tomorrow, movie night pizza party (our typical when Shawn is out of town) on Tuesday evening. Shawn comes home on Wednesday and may have a softball game on Thursday evening.  Daddy daughter dance on Friday, and then Ben's baseball game on Saturday morning.

Tips and Tricks:
I can't really think of anything off the top of my head.

My favorite blog post this week: 
I don't have any, haven't had a chance to read anything.

Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
Nothing new at the moment.  We've been quite busy.

No words needed (favorite photo or picture):


Lesson learned the past few days:
Hmmm... I can't think of anything even though I'm sure I learned a lot.  I learn something new every day.

On my mind:
Just that I'm exhausted.  I need a weekend to recover from my weekend, yet I'd just pack that full of activities as well.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

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.
