Happy Homemaker Monday

thanks sandra at diary of a sahm for hosting each monday!
join in and link up to her blog for more monday posts.

The weather in my neck of the woods:
very muggy this morning getting the kids on the bus.

One of my simple pleasures:
listening to adam play in the tub. that boy has such an imagination!

On my bedside table:
"new moon" still & again

On my tv:
big tv week! grey's 2 hour season premier is thursday!

On the menu for tonight:
fried chicken, mac & cheese, & salad. this is by far everyone's fave meal here.

On my To Do List:

laundry from tim & cayley's deer lease trip, start on a new 2 week menu and grocery list

In the craft basket:
ooooh! i'm feeling crafty again! big, giant ideas are hitting me lately! i'll keep ya posted.

Looking forward to:
this week is a full week! tiger cubs meeting, open house, crop night, grey's,- all good stuff!

Homemaking Tip for this week:

this bread is awesome!!! it tastes so much like homemade, but isn't. 20 minutes in the oven and it's perfection! there's always coupons in the paper and online for it too :)

Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
well, not to be braggy, but my friend julie posted a very sweet blog about her bday present i gave her :) she is a sweetie too!

Favorite photo from last week:

my niece stella bella- who just smiles and claps when her "stella bella" song is sung to her!



Lesson learned the past few days:
i can do all thing through christ who strengthens me! i started partnering with the gourmet cupboard and am excited about the prospects. "when god closes one door, somewhere he opens a window"...i think this is my window.

On my Prayer List:
busy moms trying to do it all,

family & friends,

thanksgiving for all kinds of blessings- even ones we can't even see coming!
