{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 08/10/2020 }

Good morning dear friends, and a very happy Monday.  

I am waking up this morning, as a 46 year old.  I can't believe time has gone this fast, I feel like we were just celebrating Christmas and now here we are, my birthday.  So crazy!

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was quiet but wonderful too, my husband took me to Hobby Lobby and our local Christian book store for some goodies for my birthday.  I will show you all that in a separate post, later this afternoon.

Anyway, let's get right on with our Happy Homemaker Monday.  Wishing you all a blessed week ahead!!!

♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥
 Well it's my birthday so I am feeling thankful and blessed to have reached 46 years of age.  The perimenopause symptoms are still hovering around but I am not allowing them to bother me today.


♥♥On my mind♥♥ 
New crochet projects.  By the way, I didn't forget about the crochet I wanted to sell, I have a few ready, just need to take photos and post them for you all here.


 ♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥
 Just a cup of coffee with Funfetti Creamer, will probably have some toast later this morning.

I am now in the book of Ezra in my Bible.

♥♥From the camera♥♥
 Loving my Blue Salvia.




♥♥Looking around the house♥♥ 
Kids are still asleep, hubby and I are the only ones up.  Looking through my bedroom window I can see the sun shining through the trees, bathing the backyard with yellow light.  I love early mornings.  


 ♥♥Chore I'm not looking forward to today, or this week♥♥ 
So, we just noticed yesterday that our kitchen floor seems to be wet, but it seems to be coming in from underneath.  We have to call a plumber today to come out and take a look.  I hope it isn't anything serious, we really can't afford a huge repair right now.  


 ♥♥To relax this week, I will♥♥ 
I have so many new books to read, and a lot of new yarn to start on new projects.  So excited to get that going.


  ♥♥Something I want to share♥♥  
I have so many of these saved to share.  Love watching them, especially lately, it makes me forget the current world situation and focus on simpler times.




♥♥On my prayer list♥♥
Our situation, hoping for a decision to be made.
Our country, the world, this whole covid situation.
