{ Happy Homemaker Monday }



The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold, gloomy, but I absolutely love it :)


Things that make me happy:  
My husband


Book I'm reading:
The Betrayal by Diane Noble.  I was sent the book for review and have just started it but really enjoying it so far, has anyone read The Brides of Gabriel series?  This is #2.


What's on my TV today:  
I have absolutely no idea.



On the menu for dinner:

On my To Do List:
Won't even bother changing this list, I have exactly the same things going on today LOL
Homeschooling
Sweep and mop

Quick French Dip Sandwiches

In the craft basket:
Lots of Christmas gifts and crazily enough I'm adding a few more today......I've obviously lost my mind.


Looking forward to this week:
Getting that one step closer to Christmas.  I plan on watching a lot of Christmas movies which finishing up some Christmas gifts.


Tips and Tricks:

Lesson learned the past few days:
To trust my instincts, to stop doing something that is out of my comfort zone just because others are fine with it.  If  I'M not feeling it, then I shouldn't be doing it.  Right?


On my mind:
Gifts, crafts, planning, doing


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
