{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 12/28/2025 }

 
 
Good morning friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful Monday morning.  I am a bit late posting this but I have been so busy with family that alone time to do anything, is far and few between.  
 
We are heading out again in a few minutes so I am quickly popping in to get this up before I leave.
 
Have a blessed week and I will be back full time after the 11th of January.

Trying to get this post up quickly before heading out.    
 
 
*** Thinking and pondering *** 
Nothing particular, just trying to show the family a good time.   
 
 
*** How I am feeling ***
Tired and a bit discombolutated.  This week between Christmas and New Years is just weird isn't it? 
 
 
*** On the breakfast plate *** 
Had a cup of coffee and two pieces of toast.  
 
 
*** On the lunch plate *** 
We stopped at Wingstop while out and shared a few chicken strips.  We usually order a bunch of different things and then all share.  
 
 
*** On the dinner plate *** 
I have a chili going in the crockpot for dinner.     
  
 
*** On the menu *** 
We haven't had a set meal plan the past two weeks and I am feeling it.  I have eaten far too much junk and need to get back to good homemade food, so am planning the next two weeks. 
 
Monday - Crockpot chili with tortilla chips 
Tuesday -  Chicken Curry and Naan made by my brother
Wednesday - Islak Burgers and Curly Fries 
Thursday - Pork Roast and Potatoes made by my brother
Friday - Rapid Fired Pizza
Saturday - In Oklahoma City for the day
Sunday -  Roast Chicken and peppers, Buttered Rice, Sauteed Squash

 
*** What I am wearing *** 
Black Leggings and a green and black long sleeved top with my warm fuzzy slippers. 
 
 
*** On my reading pile *** 
Bible Recap 
A Falcon for a Queen by Catherine Gaskin.   
 
 
*** On my TV this week *** 
 A lot of Portuguese TV.
 
 
*** Looking around the house *** 
I have started to bring down the Christmas decorations, as at this point, I'm a bit over it all Hahahah  
 
 
*** To do list for today*** 
Daily homemaking chores
Water inside plants 
Plan meal plans
 
 
*** What I am creating *** 
Nothing at the moment but will get back to my Solstice Star Blanket CAL by Helen at Crystals and Crochet 
 
 
*** From the camera *** 
The Alpacas across the street are so cute ♥   
 

 
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 
And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time. - 1 Kings 8:61
