{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 03/06/2026 }

 

 

Good morning friends.

 

Welcome back to my blog.  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter with your families and I pray your week ahead is blessed.

 

I had a good weekend, but went to bed a bit late last night and I'm dragging this morning, I'm so tired, that's ok though, we will push on.

 

Right, now let's get our day started.

*** Right now I am *** 

Getting this post up before I start my day.  I just had my breakfast and am now sitting at my desk with the last bit of my almost cold coffee.    

 

 

*** Thinking and pondering *** 

Just what I need to do this week, which means finalizing our taxes.  Hate doing those, just hate them but it has to be done. 

 

 

*** How I am feeling ***

Tired, but good.  I am blessed to be here and healthy and although tired, it doesn't matter because it means I'm alive, right? 

 

 

*** On the breakfast plate *** 

Second cup of coffee right now, already had my first at 4am when I got up.  I just had two pieces of multigrain toast with irish butter, and two scrambled eggs.  

 

*** On the lunch plate *** 

Not sure, but I will probably stick to a salad.  I need to cut carbs and sugar again this week, as I have my routine blood work to do next Monday.        

 

 

*** On the dinner plate *** 

Smoked sausage pasta, salad.    

 

 

*** On the menu *** 

Working on the new meal plan.

*** What I am wearing *** 

My pink polka dot pajamas at the moment, then switching to a dress or some shorts, not sure yet.   

 

 

*** On my reading pile *** 

I finished Connilyn Cossette's Counted with the Stars and was just in awe.  What a beautiful story.  I am starting Mary Magdalene by Diana Wallis Taylor. 

 

Also finished Genesis in the Bible and have started Exodus. 

 

*** On my TV this week *** 

Turkish shows:

Guller Ve Gunahlar

Ayni Yagmur Altinda

Sevdigim Sensin

Yeralti

Abi

YouTube homemaking and book videos, as well has some simple living and quiet vlogs.

*** Looking around the house *** 

I definitely need to do some cleaning today after the family Easter get together.  My niece has two little ones, an 8 year old and a 3 year old, so you understand when you have small kids.  Hahahah

 

I very much look forward to Monday's though and the resetting of the home. 

 

 

*** To do list for today*** 

Water inside plants 

Daily bible reading and devotional/bible study

Get at least 10k steps in

Homemaking chores

 

*** What I am creating *** 

I was going to just end the blanket on Part 6 but I have decided to push ahead and just do the whole pattern as written.  I am now on the second row of Part 7, the final part, and just have 4 more rows then it's done and dusted.  I will take a picture once it's finished.

  

 

*** From the camera *** 

Books and books littered around my house.  I love living in a home that has books in every room.  ♥   

 

 

 

 

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." - Matthew 28:19
