Happy Homemaker Monday

By

Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
I'm currently drinking my second cup of coffee and ate blueberry oatmeal for breakfast.

Right now I am:::: 
Sitting at the kitchen counter trying desperately to not to fall asleep.

The weather outside::::
It's supposed to be 70 degrees today. It's only 55 right now. 50s for the rest of the week.

Looking around the house::::
The living room and basement are covered in Christmas decorations. We're really getting excited for Christmas.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry.....I have a giant pile of laundry to get washing, and a basket or two to fold.   
Cleaning.....Run the dishwasher, take out the kitchen trash, vacuum the kitchen floor, make beds.    
Grocery Shopping.... I may just put in a grocery order. Either way, we have no food in this house.
Kids Extra Curriculars.... All 3 girls have dance this evening. It takes up the whole evening which doesn't leave much time for anything else.

Currently reading::::
I'm currently reading The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney and Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

On the TV today::::
Not sure I'll have much time for TV, so maybe just a little YouTube or Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce on Netflix

 On the menu this week::::
I have a meal plan, but truthfully, between Shawn's work, and our busy schedule this week I don't know how much will stick.

Monday - Greek Chicken and Feta Pasta with Garlic Bread  
Tuesday - Frozen Pizza
Wednesday - Quick and Easy Asparagus and Chicken Rice Pilaf with Broccoli and carrots
Thursday - Easy Italian Sausage and Bean soup with cornbread
Friday - Traditional Balsamic Beef Stew with homemade bread
Saturday - 
Sunday - 

If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::
Read or lay down for a minute or two. I feel like I barely slept last night.

New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
I have a couple of new ones I'm hoping to try this week like the Greek Chicken and Feta Pasta or the Asparagus and Chicken Rice Pilaf and the Traditional Balsamic Beef Stew.


Looking forward to this week::::
Starting the Christmas Shopping.

Favorite photo from the camera::::

I'm running quite late this week. Your tree and decorations look great! Only thing that would be better is if It's A Wonderful life was playing on the tv when you took it. Have a wonderful weekend.

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...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
