Happy Homemaker Monday - 03/31/2025

 
Happy Homemaker Monday
 
Good morning friends!  

Welcome back to another Happy Homemaker Monday!  
 
I am so tired this morning, didn't sleep well at all last night, so I'm hoping I may be able to get a 10 to 15 minute nap sometime this afternoon.  Although, it may not happen because I have a lot to do, it's going to be a busy day.
 
Anyway, I am running a little late this morning, so let's get right on with it. 
 

The weather in my neck of the woods:::
It's been so nice, the temperatures have stayed in the 70s and 80s.  I wish it could be like this all year long.  This week we have quite a bit of rain in the forecast, and I am here for it.  Love rainy weather.

Monday - Sunny to partly cloudy, 69
Tuesday - Mostly cloudy, 83
Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 80
Thursday - Showers, 65
Friday - Rain, 61
Saturday - Showers, 55
Sunday - Sunny, 57


As I look outside my window:::
Beautiful spring day, the sun is shining and the birds are singing.  
   

Right now I am:::
Working on this post to quickly get it up, so that I can get my day started.

My simple pleasure:::
Letting myself be taken away into a wonderful cozy book ♥      


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.

Urgh I feel you, I really do not like not sleeping well. I get totally grumpy haha.

Every time you show a picture of your crochet blanket I am amazed, it is a work of art.

Have a lovely week x

Your weather sounds great and your menu sounds really delicious! We're still waiting for some spring around here, but I'm hoping in the next couple weeks. Get some rest and enjoy your week.
