I hope you had a great weekend. For us it was good. Busy. On Saturday we decided to have a no electronics day. Which meant no internet, no video games and no television. I wanted us to focus on each other as a family instead of being consumed in tv or internet. It was good. I hope to do it again. We went to a St. Patrick's Day parade in the city and then stopped for ice cream on the way home. Yesterday I was supposed to meet some friends for breakfast but they had to cancel. I ended up coming home and crashing. I don't know what happened but I just felt so tired and worn down. While my daughter was napping I fell asleep as well. I'm so glad my husband allowed me to take the much needed nap. I felt good. Then in the evening we went to see The Lego Movie. Great movie!
Okay, okay, enough chit chat. Time for this week's Happy Homemaker Monday.
As I look outside my window:
Snow is covering the ground. Yes that's right. As soon as the snow went away more fell over night and just stopped. However the sun is shining and melting it all already. 3 days until spring ... can we please be done with snow now?
Right now I am:
Typing up this post and taking breaks as I fold towels. Waiting for more laundry to finish as well as the dishes in the dishwasher.
Thinking and pondering:
About so many things. Mostly about my husband's surgery next week. I can't believe it's one week away. There is so much to do around the house beforehand. He seems so calm about the surgery. I guess because this is something he's used to. He's been through a lot of pain and a lot of surgeries in the past. I'm also sure he's relieved to know the surgery will help ease some of the pain he's been having.
I also need to update the look of my blog. Coming soon!
I started an exercise blog which I will add the link to here soon. I've been thinking of making a separate photography page. My husband bought me a new camera for Christmas and I'm still in the process of learning it. Waiting for warmer weather to arrive so I can go outside and snap some great pictures.
On my bedside table:
My Bible ... and it's actually on the end table in my living room.
On my tv tonight:
I have no idea. It's totally up to my husband.
Listening to:
A commercial on tv and the dishwasher.
On the menu:
Tonight I am making an Irish recipe called 'Bangers and Mash' also known as sausage and potatoes. Growing up my mom always made corned beef and cabbage and I miss the tradition but my husband does not like cabbage so I make Bangers and Mash instead.
On my to do list:
Figure out dinner for the rest of the week/grocery shop
Housework
Again I say, run my daughter's clothes to my friends house, and I seriously plan to do so TOMORROW
Happening this week:
Meeting my husband for lunch tomorrow
VOTE Tuesday
Taking an out of state trip
Getting my engagement ring cleaned and inspected
Have lots of fun, fun, fun before my hubby's surgery
What I am sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating:
I just finished making a "no bake" oreo pie for dessert. I added some green food coloring for St. Patrick's Day.
My simple pleasure:
Having some quiet time.
Lesson learned the past week:
A reminder in how precious my children are and that they won't always be little so I need to treasure every moment I have with them and make the best of it.
Looking around the house:
I cleaned up the mess from the leprechaun aside from some crepe paper here and there. A basket of unfolded towels sit on the floor beside me. Toys all over the living room.
From the camera:

Prayer list:
My husband as he prepares for surgery next week. I find myself constantly praying for him.
I just found out a girl I went to high school with passed away unexpectedly last night. Praying for her family and friends. She was such a sweet girl.
Bible verse/Devotional:
"If God is for us who can be against us?" -- Romans 8:31
You doing laundry too today? It's never ending isn't it? I have a load washing, one in the dryer and a bunch still waiting to go in... *sigh*
