Breakfast time ... what
Pancakes for me, my son and hubby. Scrambled eggs for my daughter.
On today's to-do list:
- Laundry
- Dishes
- Sweet/mop floor
- Vaccuum
-Figure out ideas for daughter's birthday party next weekend
- Entertain kids!!
Currently reading:
I just finished The Resolution For Women and now it's time to find a new book.
On the TV today:
Kids shows mostly. I'm trying to cut back on TV viewing and spend more time doing activities and enjoying the outdoors with the kids.
The weather outside is:
Yesterday it was cloudy and rainy but today it seems to be clearing up with only a few clouds, a chance of rain possibly and the air is warm with a breeze. It's actually really nice out. We've had quite a mild summer this year. I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood today and my son said, "I would be happy if the weather stayed like this all year." I have to agree.
On the menu this week:
Monday - ham, mashed potatoes and veggies
Tuesday - tacos and rice
Wednesday - slow cooker chicken stroganoff
That's all I have figured out for now. On Thursday my husband and father-in-law will be knocking down part of the kitchen walls to open it up a bit and I'm not sure how long that will take and if my kitchen will be easily accessible until it's done. So I'm going to have to figure something out.
If I have a few minutes to myself, I will:
Ha ha ... it's summer and my son is out of school. A few minutes to myself hardly exists this time of year but if I do catch a break I'm sure I'll find a new book to read or browse Pinterest.
New recipe I tried, or want to try this week:
Chicken stroganoff in the slow cooker. I'll be doing that on Wednesday.
In the garden:
Having a garden is just a dream right now. Maybe next year.
Favorite photo from the camera:
My almost 3 year old -- always dancing ... even when there's no music.
Homemaking tip:
I can't stand a messy house so teaching the kids to play with one thing and then put it away before getting something else has really worked well at keeping the house clean. It seems like such a simple task, and one rule most households go by, but for us it's easier said than done. Yet when the kids do follow this rule it makes housework so much easier.
Praying for:
- My dad's continued healing after shoulder surgery
- My mother's continued progress after her stroke a few years ago
-Safety for my husband and father-in-law while they demo the kitchen.
-Mental strength and wisdom for myself. I can use it these days!
Bible verse/Devotional:
I couldn't handle my kitchen not being accessible, I don't know how I would get through it LOL Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteIt's ok that you can't participate in this every week, it's perfectly understandable. :)
Have a wonderful week!
