Good morning friends!
It is a chilly Monday morning, and even though we seem to finally be free of the constant cold, there are still a few mornings that bring a chill to the bone feeling. Today is one of those, it is currently 37 degrees. Brrr!
Anyway, good morning my friends, I hope you are all well. Thank you again for being here and for always joining in each Monday, I do appreciate it very much.
I have a busy week ahead. I want to start my spring cleaning, also have grocery shopping this week, so will be juggling those.
Wishing you all a very blessed and productive week ahead. Hope your area is welcoming spring like ours is.
Now, let's get on with our Happy Homemaker Monday!
The weather in my neck of the woods:::
We still have some days with crazy winds, but it seems to be worldwide. I've seen some incredibly destructive winds in Portugal and South Africa too. Crazy!
Thankfully, we have a very nice week ahead with wonderful warm temperatures.
Monday - Abundant sunshine, 81
Tuesday - Sunny, 90
Wednesday - Rain, 78
Thursday - Mostly cloudy, 77
Friday - AM showers, 73
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 89
Sunday - Partly cloudy, 66
As I look outside my window:::
The sun has just started to come up. I can see the clearing sky beyond the trees and it always makes me smile. It's hard to put into words just how beautiful the sky is early morning.

Right now I am:::
Sitting in bed and typing up this post. I had to turn the small heater on in here because it's quite chilly. Elliott and Kaia are both laying under their blankets and taking their morning nap. On the tv, I am watching A Promessa, which is a Portuguese soap opera.
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip):::
Today I thought I would share my week's workout. I have been using Lucy's workouts for the past year and they are perfect for me and have kept me healthy, and trim. Every week she puts out a new video to follow, and this is the newest one, which I'll be doing Monday to Friday.
I thought I would share it, if any of you want to join in.
Thinking and pondering:::
About spring cleaning. I need to sit down and write up a plan to tackle each room daily, with a list of must dos. I have far too much in my head to remember, so need to get it on paper.

It's funny, when I was younger I had no problem keeping everything in my mind and not having to draw up lists, but as I get older, and nearer to Menopause, my brain has become so scattered at times. I know it's normal, but it's bothers me at times, that I need to constantly remind myself with notes, so that I don't forget something.
On my bedside table:::
My empty cup of coffee. A bottle of water, my lotion and my book.
On my tv:::
Homemaking vlogs
Book vlogs
SIC Portuguese channel
Foundation on Apple TV
Listening to:::
A Promessa on the tv.
My youngest rooster crowing out back.

Looking around the house:::
The usual Monday morning. There are blankets on the couches, Wii remotes laying around, and the usual tidying up to be done.
From the camera:::
Corners of my kitchen which make me smile.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15

Lots of wind here too. I had started spring cleaning but other things came up. Hoping I can finish the main floor soon. Basement gets done in Fall. Used to do 2 deep-cleaning per year including main and basement... now it's one divided in two. It is what it is. What a cute corner of your house! Have a great week
I've always been able to keep my "to do" list in my mind, but have been a list maker since I was a child so always have a back up. My lists have list LOL
I started my spring cleaning also and then winter came roaring back with the flooding last week, so I will be starting over next week.
Have a wonderful week my friend and I hope the winds don't hang around too long.
Hello my Dear!
You're right that is cold and more like my neck of the northwoods!
I love how that blanket is turning out - so very pretty.
I'm such a list person too. I think it's a menopause brain thing...getting too easily sidetracked. Lol
Blessings on your week ahead. xoxo
De deken wordt geweldig! Fijne week gewenst!
Oh, I'd like to sit and look through all those cookbooks! The wind around here has been crazy on and off the last few weeks as well. Reading your to-do list reminded me that I also need to water plants today. Hope you have a great week!
Hello! First, I may have asked this before - forgive my post-COVID, menopause brain - but is your daily decree from a book? Is it giving your day a lift? I"m all about the good stuff, these days!
I can't believe you will be 90 degrees tomorrow! OOF. I wish I could live in the lands where it doesn't get above 78. lol
Oh, and Kofta? YUM. Jennah, Jake, and I love it!
Have a blessed week, my friend!
