{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 10/12/2020 }

Good morning sweet friends.

 

It is a beautiful morning here in Texas, 60 degrees of pure bliss.  I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for this work/school week ahead.

 

I have quite a bit of school to catch up on with Nick.  Since my mother in law passed, he hasn't been feeling very well and just can't seem to concentrate on anything, so we are working on that and using this week that he will be on Fall break, to really get caught up.

 

I've been busy with crochet, knitting, reading and blogging.  If you haven't noticed, which I'm sure you have, I have managed to crank out quite a few posts this week.  Feels so good to be back on track, and I'm hoping I can continue through the end of the year and into next.

Right, let's see what is happening in our households, with another Happy Homemaker Monday.

 

♥♥The Weather♥♥ 

It is just 60 degrees so it feels amazing outside.  The rest of the week we are staying in the 60s and 70s, which means I no longer have to walk around feeling like I'm melting.

Wednesday - 93

Saturday -  78
Sunday - 79

♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥

I am feeling quite good.  Managed to sleep well, have had my coffee and am just ready to get on with my day.

 

♥♥On my mind♥♥ 

Just homeschooling, some projects I want to get done and trying to keep a running list of my to dos, so I don't forget them. 

 

 ♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥

Just had a cup of coffee with sugar cookie creamer, so good.    

♥♥Right now I am♥♥

Sitting on my bed, watching some Vlogtober videos on Youtube, and working on this post.

 

♥♥On my reading pile♥♥ 

I have so many books going at the moment.  I am still getting through Psalms in my Bible.

I am also reading Sisters of War, The Divine Revelation of Heaven and Hell and Trump's Pro Christian Accomplishments.

 

Am I the only one who reads multiple books at once?

♥♥From the camera♥♥

Hot coffee on a chilly morning.  I took this one last week, on a particularly chill morning of 39 degrees. 

♥♥Looking around the house♥♥

Both kids are still asleep, Jasmine is off today so she is making the best of it.  Curt is also off work today, so I have the whole family home.  Nothing I love more.

My bedroom curtains and windows are open, letting in the loveliest of breezes.  It is almost 8am and the sun is still working it's way up over the horizon. 

♥♥New recipe I tried last week, or one that we really enjoyed♥♥

I actually tried 2 new recipes from Plain Chicken and I've added them to the food blog, go on over and take a look.

♥♥To relax this week, I will♥♥

Read and crochet.  I made myself a crochet slipper last night and want to make the second one today, then go through my yarn and pick out some more for others. 

 ♥♥Something I want to share♥♥ 

One of my favorite youtube channels to watch, is Fairyland Cottage.  She puts out such gorgeous videos and always has great tips and tricks.  As you can tell from the title of her channel, she lives in a cottage in Ireland, and oh my goodness, how pretty it is.

She did a tour of her cottage a few days ago, so I'm sharing that here with you all.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

 

 ♥♥On my prayer list♥♥

My nephew is going to see the doctor today, to hopefully remove the cast he has on his broken leg and put a boot.  Praying for fast healing for his leg. 

Praying over our country, over our President and over the elections coming up.  No matter what happens, just remember that we are all human, and that we have to co habitate on this planet, so let's be kind to one another.
