Happy Homemaker Monday!

hhm



The weather in my neck of the woods:
It's finally stopped raining but I think we are getting a little more this week.


One of my simple pleasures:
Walking barefoot in the grass


On my bedside table:
Twenties Girl
The Thirteenth Tale


On my TV:
Stargate SG1 Season 10
Stargate Atlantis


On the menu for tonight:
Flatbread Tacos


On my To Do List:
Put away laundry
Sweep and Mop floors
Dust


New Recipe I tried last week:
Chai Tea Concentrate


In the craft basket:
I don't even remember anymore, it's been ages since I've looked in there.


Looking forward to:
Being alone in the house for the day so I can get my housework done without interruptions. What is it with weekends? It's like Tornado Alley!


Homemaking Tip for this week:
Instead of using plastic wrap to cover bowls in the microwave, cover a round heatproof glass bowl with a round heatproof glass casserole cover or with an inverted heatproof glass bowl of the same size. A heat-resistant round glass pizza pan also works well, and the overhang makes removal and recovery both safe and easy.


Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
None this morning, I haven't caught up on my blog reading yet.


Favorite photo from last week:

Rain for two weeks non stop



Lesson learned the past few days:
That I'm a worrier, no matter how hard I try not to, it's just who I am and it's been one of the hardest things to overcome.


On my Prayer List:
Family and Friends


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.
Proverbs 16:32

  1. Lol, I know what you mean about 'Tornado Alley'. My house is the same too.

    I know what you mean about worrying too. It's a Mum thing, but I do think I worry far too much.

    Hugs xx

  3. We have been praying for you out there with all the rain!

    I also worry about everything! It's one of my biggest struggles as a Christian.

    Have a great day!

  4. my mom always used to say when it comes to housekeeping with people and children around "What do you expect you cant keep the area clean in a runway either"

  5. My friend has a cross stiched saying hanging in her front entry which I have loved for y-e-a-r-s - "Picking up while the children are up, is like shoveling while it's still snowing". So-o-o true!!!

    We had rain here yesterday, but tonight we are suppose to return to getting snow - which means it's HEAVY air pressures today! That's typical life in MI.

  8. I have a question... If I were to start Homemaker Mondays on my blog, what do I need to do? Do I have to use the exact same questions as you or can I tweek them a bit? I just want to make sure I do it right! I am still pretty new at being a SAHM so I don't know if I have useful tips every week. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks so much

  9. Sandra - I have been on your other blog (FBHK) several times - and just discovered this one. Its nice to know I'm not the only one: to worry, to always be cleaning up, to look forward to being alone in my house sans interruptions etc, etc. And I tried making Chai Tea concentrate for the first time this week too. So yum!
