Good morning everyone. How was your weekend?
For the first time in months, we actually had a very laid back, relaxed weekend, which is just what the doctor ordered. I hope yours was just as calm and relaxed as mine.
I have been busy organizing the past week, just tidying up the bedroom, shelves, living room and dining room and so on. Slowly, methodically, not rushing and not causing a huge mess that no doubt will overwhelm me and make me want to leave it all as is. Been there, done that, and it's never a good way to go about it. Hoping to do a little more sorting this week, but Curt has a few medical appointments with the VA and he wants me to go with him, so I'll be driving around for most of the week.
Anyway, I hope you have a blessed week, thank you again for joining in with our Happy Homemaker Monday, and let's get right on with it.
The weather:::
We are in summer, and that means the humidity is raging along with temps in the high 90s, and I am already over it all. I used to love summer when I was young, but now, I detest it and just want to get through it as quick as possible so Fall comes around with the cooler temps.
As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining through the clouds, and there is a slight breeze which is making the tree branches look like they're dancing.

Right now I am:::
Sitting in bed. I am listening to a book tuber on YouTube and also talking to my husband who is getting ready to go to an appointment for his hearing.
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip):::
Here's another graphic with another 3 simple recipes for you. I love having these on hand.
Thinking and pondering:::
Oh boy, so much on my mind. There's a lot going on for us at the moment, so my mind has been concentrating on all of that.

But on the fun side, I am once again getting books to review here on the blog, so have been trying to sort that out, along with some personal reading challenges I am wanting to do for July and August.
On my bedside table:::
At the moment, my water bottle, my current book and my phone.
On my tv:::
A lot of UK Homemaking vlogs
A lot of Book vlogs
Listening to:::
A book tuber doing her TBR for the month of July. I always enjoy watching these, I sometimes find really good books to read. I do tend to follow only channels that align with the books I love to read myself, it's pointless for me to follow certain so called big accounts, when all they read is the genres that I do not enjoy.

Monday - Honey Garlic Ground Beef with Broccoli, Rice
Tuesday - Mediterranean Chicken with Veggies, Black eyed pea salad
Wednesday - Cottage Pie, Couscous Salad
Thursday - Chicken Paprikash, Egg Noodles, Green Beans

Saturday - Italian Sausage and peppers, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli

On my to do list:::

Water plants
Daily Bible reading and daily decree
Daily 10k steps
Pay billsWhat I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Juicy Fruits and Whipped Creme crochet throw from Yarnspirations.
My simple pleasure:::
I have become completely obsessed with 3D puzzles. I find them so relaxing, and love getting lost in the process. Curt recently bought me some stunning ones, and I have already put 3 together, 2 flowers and a Booknook Garden House, which I am in love with. (I will come back and add the photos shortly)
Looking around the house:::
I gave it a good cleaning yesterday so everything is clean, neat and tidy. Love starting the week with a clean home.
From the camera:::
My peppers are coming in strong and I'm here for it. I eat so many peppers, they're one of my favorite vegetables, so to be able to grow them myself is amazing.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:3
