Happy Homemaker Monday - April 9, 2018

Today I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
and all the sweet ladies of 
Happy Homemaking Monday!

Good evening, Sweet Ladies! 💗 

As you can see, I'm getting a really late start on today's post. My husband and I had a lovely three night/four day stay in Branson, Missouri where we attended the 2018 Branson Victory Campaign at Faith Life Church.

While in Branson we visited a couple of nature centers and hiked several trails.

We also visited The Butterfly Palace! 🦋

exhibit. What a beautiful and amazing experience!
We got home yesterday afternoon and, this morning, I had stuff to do in Lamar, so, technically, I'm just now getting started on my day here. As you can imagine, I'm beat, but I'm determined to get this post out before I move on to anything else. So, let's get started...shall we? 😊

Right now I am...

...sitting down with a nice cup of hot tea and a slice of homemade pizza while I try to settle myself down, collect my thoughts, and work on this post. 

On the breakfast plate...

This morning I had cottage cheese on toast, two Cuties, and a steaming hot cup of Twining's Irish Breakfast tea. 

The weather...

At the moment it is sunny and 54 degrees, but the clouds are moving in and there's a chance of rain. The past week has been all over the place...sunny and warm with temperatures near 70 degrees one day, then rain, ice and/or snow and temperatures below freezing the next. This up and down pattern is supposed to continue throughout the foreseeable future as far as anyone seems to be able to tell. 🌞☔⛄
On my reading pile...

In addition to daily Scripture reading, I'm still reading Following God's Plan For Your Life by Kenneth E. Hagin (am on the last chapter) and The Shepherd of the Hills by Harold Bell Wright.


 On the menu this week...

Monday -  homemade pizza
Tuesday - taco soup
Wednesday - turkey cutlets, baked potatoes, and cabbage steaks
Thursday - chicken ranch salad
Friday - grilled salmon, baked sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli and cauliflower
Saturday - ham and beans with cornbread
Sunday - leftovers

On my 'to do' list...

- Monday - Take a friend shopping, plan the week ahead, do my weekly "home blessing", laundry
- Tuesday - Doctor appointment
- Wednesday - ?
- Thursday - Work (school group)
- Friday - Work (homeschool program)
- Saturday - Work
- Sunday - Church; work in the afternoon (back to summer hours)

In the craft basket...


Nothing at the moment

Looking forward to this week...

Getting some rest and getting things back on track in the area of diet

Well, Ladies, that's it for this week! I pray that each and every one of you have a blessed and beautiful week ahead!

Until Next Time...
