{ Happy Homemaker Monday }

The weather in my neck of the woods:
We have a Heat Advisory for the next week so I'm glad I don't have to go anywhere or leave the house.  We'll be staying indoors and out of the sun's way.

Being myself and not following the masses.

Tips and Tricks:
Here is a great tip about dusting! Don't you ever get tired of dusting your TV 3 or 4 times a week? Well, here is what you do! It's simple and easy too! All you need to do is take a fabric softener sheet that has been used in your laundry and after cleaning your TV, rub it all around the area that you don't want to dust anymore! It's a guaranteed success! Instead of attracting dust, your TV repels it!




My favorite blog post this week:
Ooooh so many, I'm slowly going through my google reader and just soaking up all the goodness. 

Imagine the sound of a right royal trumpet fanfare...

Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):

No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):

Lesson learned the past few days:
That I have a lot more patience than I give myself credit for.

Crafting, Crocheting and Cooking


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

The LORD is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid?
