Happy Homemaker Monday





The weather:::
This weekend was chilly and rainy. Today is the same. I think it's actually supposed to be this way all week long.


On my reading pile:::
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. I've been devouring her books lately. I love how light and fun they are.


Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
I didn't really watch any movies or shows this weekend. I watched KU basketball, when my Jayhawks lost, but that was pretty much it. 


On my TV:::
I can't wait to watch the new season of Grace and Frankie. Hopefully I'll have some time for that today, but I'm not counting on it.


On the menu for this week:::

Monday
Shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, and cucumber and onions in vinegar

Tuesday
Oven tacos with rice and beans

Wednesday
Chicken potpie soup w/ rosemary biscuits

Thursday 
30 minute skillet lasagna with broccoli and asparagus

Friday 
Sesame noodles, honey soy shrimp, roasted broccoli

Saturday

Sunday



On my to do list:::
Monday - Grocery delivery should be here between 10-11am. Housework, editing, Sydney and Rylie dance class, Ben's clay class, Sydney's soccer practice
Tuesday - Housework, editing, Ben's soccer practice
Wednesday - Ben and Sydney marathon club, Ben's drawing class
Thursday - Ben's soccer practice
Friday - Housework


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't been working on anything lately. Need to work on Ben's upholstered headboard for his bed. Also took a break from my crochet virus blanket until I can go pickup more yarn.


Looking around the house:::
The kitchen needs some light pick up. The kids rooms are disasters but those will have to wait until tomorrow as tonight there is not time. I have plenty of laundry that needs tending to though, and dusting and glass cleaning as well as floor cleaning.  


From the camera:::
Yesterday, the kids had a friend's birthday party at a local park. It was so beautiful out there with the colorful trees.


What I'm wearing today:::
I've got a pair of dark blue jeggings, a white blouse with small navy blue designs all over it, my light blue crystal tear drop necklace and this morning when I went out had on my black and grey rainboots.




One of my simple pleasures:::
I can't think of anything new today. I'm a simple girl. My simple pleasures usually consist of nothingness. Just snuggles, watching tv, reading, maybe playing games with family and friends.


Bible verse, Devotional::: 
Today, it's not religious, it's not in depth, but sometimes I just need to hear it and know I can't be alone in this. After the week I had last week, yup, this needed to be heard and felt.

The blooming trees are pretty aren't they? I was sorry to see KU lose as well although we didn't watch it. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

We're excited about Grace and Frankie too but it's been so long since we watched the show, we backed up to Season 2 to make sure we're current and didn't miss anything. Where do you shop that delivers your groceries? I need to shop there! You look lovely in your photo - have a great week!
Pamela, I don't know if you come back and check on the comments, but I was going to tell you that I shop at Hy-vee. They do delivery or store pickup here, as well as regular shopping. I love it.

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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

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...
