Happy Homemaker Monday



The weather:::
Chilly and rainy. It's 40 degrees and raining as I type this and it's only supposed to get a little warmer throughout the day.

On my reading pile:::
I just finished Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella last night in bed. Today I'm starting Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher.  I haven't seen the Netflix show yet, as I decided to wait until after the book. Suicide is a super sensitive subject to me, so I'm not sure how far I will actually make it in the book or show, but I'm going to give it a try.


Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
I finished the latest season of Grace and Frankie and have been watching The Fall on Netflix. It's successfully giving me the Heebie Jebbies. I also watched the latest Grey's Anatomy.

On my TV:::
Call the Midwife
Doctor Who
The Fall

On the menu for this week:::

Monday 
Garbage burritos (breakfast burritos filled with sausage, eggs, cheese, and hash browns)
Tuesday 
Frozen Pizzas
Wednesday 
Spaghetti and garlic bread
Thursday 
Grilled Cheese, tomato soup, apple sauce, and baked beans
Friday  

Saturday 
  
Sunday 
  


On my to do list:::
Monday - Shawn's on a field trip with Sydney today. I've got a load or so of laundry to do and some floors to clean. The groceries will be here in another hour or 2. Tonight, Sydney and Rylie have dance, Ben has his clay class, and Sydney has soccer practice.
Tuesday - Picking up the house and the usual upkeep. Maybe organizing my closet if the time allows. Kids clean their rooms. In the evening, Ben has soccer practice.
Wednesday - Usual household chores, organizing the closet if I didn't get to it Tuesday. The big kids have marathon club after school and Ben has his drawing and painting class in the evening.
Thursday - The firefighters are coming to Rylie's preschool, so I'll probably stick around for that and let Scottie see too. In the evening, Ben has soccer practice.
Friday - Ben's history field trip. Shawn will be chaperoning that one as well. I need to turn in some baked good for the cakewalk during the school carnival.
Saturday - Ben, Sydney, and Rylie's soccer games, Sydney's soccer team cookout, and the school carnival.
Sunday - Power washing the deck and replacing a few parts.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::

I've not really been creating anything lately. Just working working working.


Looking around the house:::
It doesn't look too bad. The kids' rooms are trashed and I need to make my bed but other than that, it's not too shabby. The girls are playing nicely in their room, and for this minute they are getting along. Lord knows, it hasn't been that way all morning, and it probably won't continue long, so I need to crack on with anything that needs doing before they need my attention again.
  

From the camera:::
We live in such a beautiful artistic and embracing city. We love to go on walks and look for some of the gorgeous art. Last week, Rylie had the class bear and we took it downtown. While Ben and Shawn were getting their haircuts, the girls and I found this beautiful wall.



What I'm wearing today:::
I have on a pair of jeggings, a black tank top, and a cowl neck type sweatshirt. When I was taking Ben and Sydney to school this morning, I wore my rain boots, as everything is soaking wet out.

One of my simple pleasures:::
Blaring my music in the kitchen, singing and dancing, while I cook or do dishes. It's one of my absolute favorite things. 


Bible verse, Devotional:::

The Fall is SO good, I actually need to catch up on the latest season, but have watched every thing else. Definitely creepy.

I only watched an episode of Thirteen Reasons Why, seems to be the popular show right now, reminds of Making a Murder with it's popularity.

Your menu sounds good. Hope you have a great week Liz :)

Great photo! I love the idea of a class bear, how fun! Is The Fall scary? I'll have to look into it. I've been searching for a new Netflix show. My teenager watched Thirteen Reasons Why (I didn't even know it was a book until he told me)and told me about it. Personally, I decided not to watch it as I don't think I could handle 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...
