Good morning everyone, hope you've had a blessed weekend.
As always, I start my weeks praying for a blessed week, not just for me and my family but for you all as well. I am starting 4 weeks of busy days, as Jasmine begins her driving school this evening. I need to figure out how I'm going to do all this driving back and forth, and make dinner and fit it all in, but I know God will help me get it all sorted.
Right, let's see what is going on in today's Happy Homemaker Monday.
Looking around the house::::
It is clean, thankfully, I did it all over the weekend so I could have today be a little more relaxed.
On today's to do list::::Change bedding
Breakfast time....what is on the plate this morning::::
I've had a cup of coffee with creme brulee creamer, and I'm having some toast with my homemade Nectarine and Brown Sugar Jam.

The weather outside is::::
Fallish, so so happy to be able to type that. We are expecting quite a bit of rain this week, so I'm thrilled about that too. 
If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::
Read, I've been enjoying reading again, but it's one of those that I need to find time to fit in and then I have to force myself to enjoy it and not feel guilty for sitting down. I have this thing where I start feeling like I should be up and doing something. Anyone else?
New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
The Nectarine Brown Sugar Jam is new, and it will be up along with a few others. 
One of my simple pleasures::::
Sitting on the couch with Elliott, either reading, or just listening to the birds as they sit on the feeder.

Still praying for our country.
I'm an uneasy reader as well. Always think I should be doing laundry, dishes, meal prep, garden cleanup...list goes on and on, so I don't read that much. Husband, however, there are bookshelves all over the house and buys more...
ReplyDeletethat book cover is very pretty and cozy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
Very pretty book. I read while I'm waiting for things so I figure it's making use of "lost" time plus I'm lucky that I get a half and hour at least every week to read away from home while waiting on my son, it's too far to come home so I just stay and read since there's not much else to do. Or I just plan it into my day. Prayers for a great week with a successful driving class for your daughter. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Friend!
ReplyDeleteThat jam sounds so amazing! I need to check out all of your recipes on there again for new inspiration. Continued prayers for all of your intentions. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed week as well Sandra. Love our Mondays together. 😊 ❤️
That jam looks so delicious!!! And I do have to admit I sometimes choose a book by its cover (ha ha) - that one is really pretty - reminds me of something that would be a historical German or Russian piece. Prayers that Jasmine does well and enjoys her first lesson tonight and that Hayley continues to improve with her treatments. Enjoy your rain this week, I know I am! Have a Blessed week.
ReplyDeleteYour nectarine jam looks SO yummy! That on some toast with a yummy cup of coffee seems like the perfect go to snack for the rainy weather coming our way!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
I very rarely sit down during the day. There are too many things that need doing and if I sit down it just puts me behind, so I just get them done. Mind you there isn't a chore police or anything like that but I just feel better when the house is in order, things are checked off the list etc. We're expecting tons of rain this week also. It feels very Autumn. I have that same book, but I have yet to read it. Good luck to Jasmine with her driving lessons.
