Good morning ladies, welcome back to another Happy Homemaker Monday.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and I wish you a very blessed week ahead.
I have a ton of projects to get done around here, and I'm running a little behind today, so I'll jump right in and get going.
*** The Weather ***
We're enjoying very nice temperatures, I would say just perfect actually. But I know Texas, and we always get a bad storm at the end of February, so we will see.
Monday - Cloudy, 61
Tuesday - Cloudy, 65
Wednesday - Cloudy, 66
Thursday - Sunny, 70
Friday- Partly cloudy, 68
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 66
Sunday - Partly cloudy, 54
*** Right now I am ***
Sitting on my bed as always, while I work on this post. I need to get up right after, get dressed and get started with my busy homemaking day.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
About the projects I need to do this week, or at least get started on. One I will finish today, the other, which is the hallway wallpaper removal and painting, will take me the whole week.
*** How I am feeling ***
I'm feeling good, I am now down 10 pounds. I did have a cookie this weekend, and I will say I didn't enjoy it at all.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
I've had my cup of coffee this morning, with just milk and a splash of vanilla extract. I will go have some oatmeal here soon.
*** On the lunch plate ***
Chickpea Tuna salad.
*** On the dinner plate ***
Crispy Baked Chicken Thighs, Salad, Brown rice and Black Beans.

*** Looking around the house ***
Just the usual need for tidying after a weekend. My niece, her husband and kids came over yesterday for a coffee, and her youngest Dalton is 2. He always has a ton of fun playing without our Kaia, so he throws all her toys for her to catch. I have quite a pile up in my hallway to clean up.
*** To do list ***
Pantry floor has been replaced, will show pictures in tomorrow's post, but now I am putting down some paper on the shelves
Vacuum living spaces and wash living room carpet
*** From the camera ***
Just to show you the problem we encountered under the hallway carpets. We had to replace the sub floor damage before putting down the new flooring.
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***

My Mr has been working at wallpaper removal too...down to picking out paint color & crown molding for the bathroom. Have a Great Week...Don't work to hard.
You are lucky you do not have to replace floor joists. We had to rip out our entire living room floor, replace joists and sub floor. Same with the smaller bathroom and half the kitchen. Have a great week.
Today and here it was wonderful weather (Greece) to enjoy these days while doing the duklias you should. Useful information! Thanks!
Sounds like you have quite a bit going on over there. Always nice to get projects underway and finished. We're having great weather also but I'm also keeping in mind that February is usually our coldest month here. Hope you have a great week!
Pleasure to read your blog and thanks for hosting. It's so nice to visit you and all the others. Have a great day.
Awesome job with the getting healthy dear Sandra! 👏🏻 I bet you feel great! And wow, what a job to tackle with the floors...but I bet you will be loving them once they're done. :) Enjoy those temps - they look amazing! But hopefully storms stay away!! Blessings on your week. xo
Oh my! good thing you got to that hallway floor before it got worse. So proud of you for taking care of your health.
Have a great week
I see you are watching Turkish series. On Sunday I watched 'Mucise' with my family, a beautiful Turkish film, I'm curious if you already know and have seen it. I couldn't keep it dry :)

Congrats on losing 10 pounds!! Oh the joys of home repairs. Have a great week!
