Happy Homemaker Monday

By
I know, it's sort of late in the day, but I'm finally getting back to my blog, and boy did I have plenty to catch up on.


The weather:::
It's so hot! High 90s all week long. I'm not looking forward to working on the yard today, or the kids' baseball and softball practices this evening.

Right now I am:::
Sitting at the kitchen counter, thinking about cleaning up from lunch and moving laundry around.

On my reading pile:::
Currently I'm reading The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg. I just finished Into The Water by Paula Hawkins which was amazing!

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
We watched Wonder Woman Saturday night, but that's about it.  We spent the rest of the weekend, at Syd's softball game, the farmers market, helping our friend with his boat at the lake, swimming, and doing yard work.

On my TV:::
Nothing currently but later I am hoping to catch the Amelia Earhart documentary, that I recorded on my DVR, at some point.

On the menu for this week:::
I don't have a lot planned. I'm working on it....

Monday 
    
Tuesday 
One pot Cheesy taco pasta
Wednesday 
Grilled chicken and veggies
Thursday 
lasagne and salad
Friday  
    
Saturday 
  
Sunday 


On my to do list:::
Pick up the kitchen (Ben will do dishes and Sydney will vacuum it)
Finish laundry - Syd's sheets are in the dryer and I have a load to move to the dryer and one more load to wash
Figure out tonight's dinner
Ben's baseball practice at 5:30
Syd's softball practice at 7:00
Have Rylie and Scottie pick up their toys so they can play at the park while the kids have practice.
Sit down and read for a minute or two.
Help Shawn spread mulch in flower beds and attempt to weed the other two we have left to take care of.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't had time to work on any of it lately and I've been longing for my yarn and crochet hooks. Maybe I'll pick back up my blanket this week.

Looking around the house:::
The house could use some picking up but it's really not too bad. The kids are loudly all playing with toys in the living room and the TV is blaring the Disney Channel. Nobody is even watching though so I could turn it off. I love how they all play together, sometimes they even get along. 

From the camera:::
My birthday isn't for another 8 days yet, but my husband got me my present early. I've wanted a bistro set for this corner since we put the offer in on our house. I love it over there. You can't tell as well from this picture but this corner is sort of hidden by the trees. I'm super in love.



What I'm wearing today:::
I'm wearing a pair of work out shorts and a navy blue t-shirt. I may change in a bit but I may not also...

One of my simple pleasures:::
Watching my kids use their imaginations while playing.


Inspirational Quote, Bible verse, anything you want to share:::

YAY so glad to see you back :) I've just been loving being back on my blog, it's grounding me in a sort of way, if that even makes sense?

Love your bistro set and your quiet corner, that is so sweet of your hubby. I know you'll have many hours quietly sitting there enjoying the fresh air.

I need to read some of these books you are reading, you always have such an interesting list going.

Hope you all have a really good 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...

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...
