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 ***
