{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 08-10-2015 }

Good morning everyone, well here we are, another Monday and ready for a whole week ahead, or at least I hope you all area.

I'm sorry this is going up a little later than usual but I've been taking it easy this morning and actually slept in, well technically I got up at 5:30am with Curt and made coffee and after he left I fell asleep on the couch.  But yeah, a little nap I would say, just been kinda busy.


Anyway, let's get going.....

On the weather front:
Beautiful morning, gorgeous weather, it's actually supposed to rain tomorrow and I'm hoping that is the only time it rains because we need to get this yard mowed and ready for the reunion. 

 
On my bedside table:
A Pattern of Lies by Charles Todd
The Ones we Trust by Kimberly Belle

Not sure, it's my birthday and I think hubby and the kids want to take me out for dinner.


On the menu for this week:
I have a few meals planned just until Wednesday, from Thursday on we are having our family reunion and there will be different things going on, but I'll try to share with you what we're planning on doing.

On my To Do List:
Nothing, I'm giving myself the day off to enjoy, I have so much to do the rest of the week but I'm allowing myself some me time today.

 
New Recipe I tried last week:
Hawaiian Bread Rolls, so good.

In the craft basket:
My blanket, haven't had a chance to do anything, but I'm hoping today my me time will mean some crocheting.
 

Looking forward to:
The family reunion, but also being done with it?  Does that make me a mean person?  I hope not.  I mean I am so looking forward to having fun and spending time with everyone, but then I remind myself there will be 20 something people in my house for 4 days and all the food and clean up etc and I cringe hahahah


Homemaking Tip for this week:
If you ever find yourself hosting a big get together, I can't stress enough the need for lists, lists and more lists.


Favorite photo from last week:

Lesson learned the past few days:
Oh my word, so many.  You know I think that we never stop learning and every single day there is something we see or hear that we had no clue about, we just have to pay attention.


On my Prayer List:
So many people, friends and family and everyone that needs it, whether it be for health, or wealth, or whatever it is that is going on in their lives.
