Happy Homemaker Monday

 happyhomemakermonday

The weather:::
It's been warm and cloudy here lately. 

Right now I am:::
Sitting at the kitchen counter typing this post, waiting on the grocery delivery, and talking to Ben while he does the breakfast dishes.

On my reading pile:::
I just finished The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena and now I'm reading The Status of All Things by Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke.

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
Saturday night movie night we watched The Conjuring (I'd previously seen 1/3 of the movie and have seen the sequel) and The Aviator (I've already seen it) and then yesterday while folding laundry we watched a little Planet Earth 2 about animals in major cities. Last night, of course, was Game of Thrones which Shawn and I try to never miss.

On my TV:::
I'm hoping to finish Ozark this week. Maybe...

On my to do list:::
Kitchen......Pick up counter tops Sydney will vacuum and I will mop.
Laundry.....I've got about 1 load to wash, a load in the dryer and one in the basket to fold and put away, and the kids new school clothes to de-tag.
House......The girls are going to dust, Ben's going to wipe down bathrooms, I'll clean the glass and the kids will vacuum their rooms.
School..... Getting everything ready for the kids new school year.  Ben and Syd start 4th and 2nd grade on Wednesday and Rylie starts kindergarten on Friday. Scottie doesn't start preschool for another couple of weeks. I have meetings with Ben and Syd's teachers this afternoon.


What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Nothing at the moment, but still hoping to jump back into my virus stitch blanket.

Looking around the house:::
Ben has finished doing dishes and is playing on the switch next to me at the kitchen counter. The girls are running around the house playing some pretend game where Scottie is a puppy (her favorite thing to pretend to be) and poor Duchess is laying on the couch looking annoyed that they are being so loud and disturbing her sleep. Shawn is at work in the office. We moved furniture around in the basement yesterday making it feel much more cozy. I'm much happier with it already.


From the camera:::

My beautiful babies on our last adventure before school starting this week.




What I'm wearing today:::
Jean shorts and a white and navy blouse with a pair of nude colored sandals.  

One of my simple pleasures:::
Sunday afternoons at home with the family. We did nothing but fold laundry together and watch nature documentaries together but it's my favorite thing. 

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

In honor of the kids going back to school this week.

My girls go back to school next Tuesday. We've begun "training". Early to bed, early to rise. They are NOT liking it :)

Have a great week!

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.
