Happy Homemaker Monday - 5/4/15

Here we are!  Another week.  Sandra changed this up a bit this week, which is totally fine with me.  The only issue is I don't have a menu planned for this week.  Gotta work on that.  I also left a few out that I didn't have answers for.  I'll get better ... I promise.  Anyway ...

The weather in my neck of the woods::
It is BEAUTIFUL!  It's as if summer has arrived early.  I LOVE IT!  

  
Things that make me happy::
(See above)  The warm weather and sunshine.  Again I say, I LOVE IT!

Menu for this week::
Oh gosh, I don't have a clue.  I don't even know what I'm making today.  I'll decide soon enough though.  

What's on my TV today::
Right now it's The Care Bears.  As you can tell my 3 year old has possession of the television right now.  

Looking around the house::
What a mess!  It seems no matter how hard I try to keep things clean this house never gets clean.  Am I the only one experiencing this?  Ugh!  I feel like I'm on my feet from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed and all I do is pick up toys, sweep dirt, pick up more toys, etc., etc, ... and by the end of the night the house is still a mess.  Why?!  

On my to do list::
Laundry, dishes, clean, vacuum, PLAY WITH THE KIDS, and all that's usual in my day to day life. 

New recipe I tried or want to try soon::
This looks good.  Maybe I'll add it to the menu this week -- http://otasteandseeblog.com/parmesan-crusted-chicken-with-bacon/

In the craft basket::
I bought lots of supplies to make jewelry.  Now I need to find the time and patience to get started.  I've tried a few things but it hasn't worked out yet.  Gotta go with another plan.  I'll figure it out and make it work! Jewelry making is a lot harder than you may think. 

Looking forward to this week::
This seems to be a quiet week compared to the rest of the month.  I don't think there is much going on except on Friday my kids and I are going to the movies with my parents to see the new Avengers movie and on Saturday my son has his first official baseball game of the season.  We also can't forget MOTHERS DAY on Sunday.  

Favorite Photo or Picture::

This picture was taken on my phone yesterday during a cub scout picnic.  I took my son and his friend on a hike on the trail.  It was fun but I couldn't keep up with these 7 year olds.  

Lesson learned the passed few days::
The feelings, regrets, emotions and experiences I go through are normal and okay.  I'm not alone. 

On my mind::
Why is it so hard for my daughter to understand what is the right amount of toilet paper to pull off?  I just got finished rolling back up a ton that she pulled down.  I know she'd clog the toilet if I didn't go in the bathroom every time she had to go. 

Devotionals, Scripture Reading::
"You got to learn how to think right before you can live right.  God has got a good plan for your life, but if you don't believe it, God's not going to be able to do it." -- Joyce Meyer

"If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." -- John 15:7
