{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 11/02/2026 }

Good morning and welcome to the first Happy Homemaker Monday of November.  Well we are now entering the holiday weeks, the busy, crazy, and amazing holiday times of the year.

 

It does also mean that we now have to focus on Thanksgiving and organizing it all, which I'm not quite ready for yet, but we will do it.

 

I also see a lot of people already decorating for Christmas, have you started?  I haven't yet, but may start pulling out some of the decorations later today.  

 

Anyway, thank you all for the comments on the last posts about my anxiety, I am getting through it, doing a lot of prayer, trying to train my brain not to overreact to everything and will definitely talk to my doctors.

 

Wishing you all a very happy and blessed week!   

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
We are expecting some strong storms later this afternoon with the possibility of tornadoes.  Why we are doing tornadoes in November is beyond me, but ok.  Hahahah  

 

Monday - Storms and cloudy, 82
Tuesday - Partly cloudy, 69
Wednesday - Mostly sunny, 74
Thursday - Mostly sunny, 75
Friday - Mostly sunny, 70
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 67
Sunday - Sunny, 70


♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
The sun has come up, the birds are chirping and the chickens are clucking away with the roosters singing their constant song.  it looks like a beautiful day ahead, at least until the clouds and storms set in.   

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Sitting at my desk, I have a random Christmas movie playing on TV and I'm working on this post.  

 

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
It's been a lot going on lately, poor Elliott has had a tough month, it's been one thing after another.  Just thinking how resilient animals are and how much joy they bring to us. 

 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
Physically I am well, obviously the anxiety played a major part of my mental well being, but I'm feeling ok today and I plan to stay like that.   

 

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
I just had a cup of coffee earlier and haven't yet had breakfast.  Not sure what I'll have but will probably end up being the usual scrambled eggs with cottage cheese.  Or I may make a breakfast sandwich with an english muffin.  I'm not very hungry, one thing about anxiety and stress for me is that I stop eating, it's weird.    

 

♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
Not sure, I don't feel like anything in particular but will see how I feel later.  

 

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
Sausages in tomato sauce, rice, mixed roast veggies. 

 

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Still in my pajamas, will change into something hahahah  Not sure what.  Either leggings, a dress or some shorts, I'm not sure.  

 

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥
Almost done with 2 Samuel in the Bible.

They seem to be pretty good, so we will see how that goes.  

{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 20 - We've lost the joy of gifting and receiving }

I have always wanted a doll house, since I was a child, but it's something I never got.  I was one of four, the only girl, and my dad and stepmom worked hard to provide for us, but times were different and it wasn't always possible to give big gifts.

 

What I do remember, is that no matter what, we loved every gift we received, and I miss that, I miss the simple days and the simple holidays.  The days where gifts were not extravagant, not expensive but they came from the heart and meant so much.  

 

The excitement of birthdays and Christmas was palpable, and I don't know about you all, but I feel that those feelings have been lost along the way.  Of course we're older and I myself will be the first to admit that I don't have that excitement about gifts as I did when I was a child, but it's not just that, it's the fact that nowadays gifts seem to be all about the biggest, the most expensive, and being better than the year before.

It's made it all so materialistic and void of joy, and I really want to change that.

 

As I am making this big Gingerbread house that my sweet husband bought me, I am like a child back in my early teens, finally receiving the doll house she always wanted.  I am getting such pure happiness out of building these small pieces that will go into the finished house.

 

This is what brought all these memories back and made me really want to start looking at Christmas especially, in a different way.  I mentioned a few blogs back that I really want this year to be different, to be more of a vintage older kind of Christmas, from the tree to the gifts, to the food and especially the atmosphere. 

 

So I am just throwing thoughts around in my head and trying very hard to make that come true.  I feel the whole world is falling apart and our homes, our families are the only peace we really have around us, so why not make these upcoming holidays even more special than usual? 

Homemade is at the top of that list, for sure.  

 

Speaking of homemade and slightly drifting off the subject, I have been working on my sourdough for over a year.  My sourdough starter or Suzy as I call her, lives in my fridge and she has been thriving all this time.  I couldn't be happier.  

 

But having a good sourdough starter and producing a good loaf is a completely different thing.  I have struggled, I have made flops, I have made drops, I have made flat, dense, rock hard loaves, I have made them all.  But I have finally mastered a good sourdough loaf and I am thrilled beyond thrilled.  

 

Above you can see my loaf wrapped in a beautiful kitchen towel from Aveiro, Portugal. 

Just look at this beauty?  Look at those holes and the perfect crust.  This loaf is one of the best I have made and I am so proud of myself for sticking with it.

In the meantime, while I work on all these ideas floating around in my already overloaded and overwhelmed brain, I have been building shelves and trying to create a very cozy den/dining room area.  It's a work in progress for sure.

 

But when we have Thanksgiving and Christmas, I want everyone who walks through the doors to feel welcome and cozy and warm and happy.

{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 27 - Happy Mail }

There is something about receiving happy mail, you know the kind that you've been waiting for, eagerly anticipating, and then the package arrives and you have this giddy feeling?

 

Books and yarn do that for me, so anytime a package of that sort arrives at my mailbox, I get so happy.

 

This box from Michael's contained my yarn for my Cabled Jumper I will be making for Winter.   I am still waiting to receive the pattern, because of digital I asked for it to be sent as physical copies, and they're coming from the UK, but should be here very soon.

 

As soon as it arrives I can get going with the jumper, and of course show you as I go along.  

 

 

I also had a package from Paperbackswap, which is this book above.  The first in a series and I have free book credits so was able to grab this one.  I didn't see the other two posted but am keeping an eye out and as soon as I see them, I will definitely grab them.

 

The Edge of Light by Ann Shorey is the first book in the At Home in Beldon Grove series. 

 

It is the summer of 1838 in St. Lawrenceville, Missouri, and Molly McGarvie's life is about to change forever. When her beloved Samuel succumbs to cholera, Molly is heartbroken but determined to take care of herself and her children. But when Samuel's unscrupulous brother takes over the family business and leaves Molly to fend for herself, she knows she must head out on her own. It is a dangerous journey and Molly has to leave her old life behind. Somehow she must find a way to make a living, keep her family together, and fend off some over-eager suitors. 

 

 

From Thriftbooks, I got the book two and three in the Midwives series, and yesterday late afternoon I got the third book.  I love shopping at Thriftbooks because they are so inexpensive, these were only around $4 a book, which is a steal.

 

Now I have the series ready to go.

 

 

I have also been reading and looking through the Brambly Hedge book, most specifically the Autumn Story.  It is adorable and always makes me want to jump through the pages and be right there, in the forest with the animals and their cosy sweet little homes.

 

Have you received any happy mail lately?

{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 26 - Happy Homemaker Monday 10/26/2026 }

Good morning and welcome back!

 

I am so tired this morning and actually wondering what happened to the weekend.  And why is it already the end of October?  I've often said that time is flying by but this is getting ridiculous, I've quite perplexed at how fast the days are moving.  This year practically just started and we are but a few weeks from Thanksgiving.  What is going on?

 

Anyway, I need to go back and publish posts for the days I missed, it's been a busy busy week.  That's another thing I'm over at the minute.  I am over the busyness of life, of always feeling like I'm being stretched thin, overwhelmed, needing to be places.  I'm just a bundle of joy this morning aren't I?  hahahah

 

Let's just get on with the post before I ramble even more.  

 

Have a blessed week my friends.    

  

 

 

*** The Weather *** 

It's been really nice.  Cool mornings and then warm afternoons, well warm as in high 70s or very low 80s which I happen to enjoy.  I think we are getting some more rain this week, so yay for that.       

 

Monday - Mostly cloudy, 78

 *** Right now I am ***

Actually sitting on my bed with my laptop.  I am too tired and too stressed and too all over the place.  I'm listening to a book video on YouTube, the babies are asleep on the bed next to me and the roosters are crowing out back.         

 

 

*** Thinking and pondering *** 

Life and the upcoming holidays. 

 

 

*** How I am feeling *** 

I have been struggling a lot lately with anxiety and doom and gloom thoughts.  I have never dealt with anxiety before but it's been so bad lately, it's driving me up the wall.  My doctor says it's related to hormones and upcoming menopause, which I am very close to according to her.  I don't know how any one deals with this because it's making life a bit hard for me at the moment.  Everything sets me off.  The pets not feeling 100% gets me going, a family member going through a hard time gets me going, the crazy world around us sets me off.  It's exhausting and I am just over it.  If you have any tips please send them my way.

 

Also, allergies have been at their highest this past week too.  Good grief!   

 

 

*** On the breakfast plate *** 

I just had my second cup of coffee and a maple donut.  I am regretting it now, but nothing I can do to change that.  Oh well.  

 

 

*** On the lunch plate *** 

Tuna salad.   

 

 

*** On the dinner plate *** 

Lebanese beef stew, rice, broccoli and cauliflower

*** On my reading pile *** 

2 Samuel in the Bible. 

 

The the first book in the Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion series.  I am almost done with it, it is a short book so even though I haven't had much chance to read this past week, I am way past the middle point.

I love morning light, and this picture I got last week just makes me smile.  The way the sun is streaming in through the blinds.

My brother Paul as he continues recovering from his heart surgery.

 

For me, I need prayers for this anxiety, it's driving me crazy.

About This Wasn’t the Plan: How to Surrender Your Stuck and Set Your Soul in Motion

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Publication date: October 6, 2026

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I thought my life would look better than this by now. This book is for the woman who feels stuck—in her career, relationships, emotions, or calling. It’s a guidebook for the one who feels like she’s just enduring rather than embracing life to start moving toward the life you really want.

If you’ve ever felt lost between the dreams you had freshly post-grad and the reality you’re living now, you are not alone. Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham get it. They’ve been in your shoes and walked through their own journeys with chronic illness, unanswered longings, and prayers that never seem to be answered in the miraculous way they’d envisioned. But in the midst of those seasons, they’ve also seen transformation.

It begins with a question: What if God is getting you ready? What could He be preparing in you and for you in this season? Readers are invited to imagine the great plans God is setting in motion for them, even when everything around them seems stuck in place. Through quizzes and powerful reflection questions, readers will name the areas in which they feel stuck, identify the root of those feelings, and get honest about the ways those feelings are manifested in their everyday lives.

But Mac and Kenz don’t leave readers there. Using the scaffolding of Jesus’ instructions to “ask, seek, and knock,” they challenge the reader to:

• pray without having an answer in mind;
• seek out clues about what God is up to;
• take bold but faith-filled risks that unlock transformation; and
• believe that your stuck place isn’t your final destination.

It’s time to stop waiting on the sidelines and start moving with God, trusting that He is inviting you to take the next steps into a story where every detail matters.

{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 20 - Reading }

I have loved watching the morning sun starting to rise.  From my spot on the bed, I have the perfect view, right as it comes over the horizon and starts bathing everything in it's path, with the most glorious orange glow.

 

It's moments like these that I thank God for being the beautiful creator that He is, I mean, the colors, the details, the textures, I still feel complete awe when I see what is around us. 

It's been a very slow day, just like I enjoy.  After getting my daily homemaking chores done, I have started a new book.  Before I talk about the book though, can you see the kitty cat in the picture above?  The crochet one?

 

Well I have completed it and just need to embroider on some eyes in black yarn.  It is not perfect, and I did struggle a bit with the Toft pattern, I find that it's pretty much a pattern for advanced crocheters or anyone familiar with the way she writes her patterns, which is not me.

 

There weren't very clear instructions, and I found myself kind of like a fish out of water, flapping about, turning to Google and even AI to try and figure out how to continue certain parts of the pattern.  I am hoping as I get more familiar with the Toft way of crochet, I will enjoy it more.

 

But, it is done, I just need to make the cape and the boots and the tail, now that I think of it, it's missing it's tail.  Hahahaha  I can't believe I forgot that important detail, dear me. 

As for the reading.  I have been putting off reading The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, mainly because as you know me, the more people go on about a book or a movie or whatever, the less I want to try it.  I've always been like this, since I was child.  If everyone is loving yellow I will immensely dislike it.  

 

So everyone in the book world has been going on about this series by Beth Brower.  I held off for quite a while but decided to just get in there and see what the fuss is about.

 

I went in full expecting to not like it, or find it overrated.   

The truth?

 

I'm quite enjoying it and I'm not even very far, I'm only on the second entry of her journal, but it's already caught my attention.  Guess I'm going to become a fan too.  

 

Other than that, it's been a quiet day, the temperatures have sat in the high 70's, which is quite alright with me.

 

What else have I been up to?

 

I got my groceries today which is always a good thing.  I love seeing the fridge and freezers full when the food first comes in.

 

I will be making a Baked Salmon for dinner with a vegetable Quinoa and some brussel sprouts. 

 

The rest of the evening I will be working on my crochet blanket a little more now that I have the yarn I needed to continue.  I will also obviously watch something on the telly while I do that too.

 

Oh and I am so excited.  I just purchased some yarn and a pattern for a cabled jumper that I want to make for myself for winter.  It's beautiful and I just can't wait to get started.

 

It is the Clarendon Cables Jumper from Lottie & Albert.

 

 

 

The yarn I will be using is the Lion Brand Two of Wands Hue + Me and I've gone with the sunflower color which I think will be gorgeous.  Also, I don't tend to wear yellows so I'm a bit hesitant but I want a change and I think it will look great with my dark hair. 

 

I'll of course show you the progress as I make it.  Well that's it for today, I better get things organized for dinner.

{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 19 - Happy Homemaker Monday }

Good morning everyone, welcome back to my little blog.

 

It is a cold Monday morning, very much a Fall day.  The light, the air, there is something about Fall that you can't quite pinpoint but it's a different vibe from summer, know what I mean?

 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and I wish you all a blessed week ahead.  I am finally going to be able to get some time to start visiting you all, leaving comments and devoting more time to blogging.  It's been crazy and I mean crazy busy around here, as summer usually is, so I am very much glad that the slower time of the year is upon us.

 

Now, let's see what is happening around our homes.  

  

 

 

*** The Weather *** 

Quite a few cold mornings but we will be in the 70s and 80s this week, as the cold front moves out.     

 

Monday - Sunny, 75

Tuesday - Mostly sunny, 78 

Wednesday - Sunny, 81

Thursday - Partly cloudy, 82

Friday - Partly cloudy, 83 

Saturday - Morning cloudy, 82  

Sunday - Mostly cloudy, 79

 

 

 *** Right now I am ***

Sitting at my desk.  I am listening to a video on the TV, working on this post and trying to remember what I need to look up today or get done today.  I really should be writing this down.

 

I am sipping on my second cup of coffee, lately it's been two cups of coffee a day to keep me going, and if it were up to me, it would probably be more, but I need to control myself.       

 

 

*** Thinking and pondering *** 

Holidays.  I am wanting to start making some Christmas gifts, and also buying some.  I don't want to wait until the last minute and this year I really would like to have everything done, by the beginning of December.  Will that actually happen?  Probably not, but I will give it a good try.    

 

 

*** How I am feeling *** 

I'm feeling pretty good.  Just have a lingering congestion and a bit of a tiny cough.  My allergies have also been the worst the past two days, but aside from that, I am good.  

 

 

*** On the breakfast plate *** 

I just finished my breakfast which was some toasted Cranberry Orange Bread with butter.  I've been really bad with carbs lately and especially bread, I've been eating way too much bread and that is going to change soon, but I am trying to finish this bread that I got at Market Street.  It is so good.  I am actually going to find a recipe to make my own.  

 

 

*** On the lunch plate *** 

Not really sure.  I haven't been very hungry at lunch time lately, so we will see. 

 

 

*** On the dinner plate *** 

Slow Cooker Pork Chops, Buttered Noodles, Sauteed Mustard Greens 

 

 

*** On the menu *** 

I have to work on the new meal plan, so this is what I have left on the last meal plan.

*** On my reading pile *** 

2 Samuel in the Bible, I am almost done with it. 

 

Finished The Familiars by Stacey Hall and will now start the first book in the Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion series.  I have put this off for a while because I'm not a huge fan of books written in diary form, but everyone talks about this series and it's an era that I love so I decided to grab the first book, and give it a go.      

 

 

 

*** On my TV this week *** 

Vlogtober on Youtube.  

Great British Bake Off on Netflix.

I am a Stalker on Netflix.
