Happy Homemaker Monday




Happy Monday Friends 

I hope the sun is shining on you today and you have great energy for the week! We had a busy weekend as Annie has been helping out a volleyball team that needed a replacement for an injured player. So we watched our girl all day Saturday play in a tourney. Yesterday was busy cleaning, helping my Mom out and Annie had friends over all day so I was cooking for all. Lol Then last night she had hockey practice for her summer team already. My sporty girl ;) 

Sun is shining here and looks like a beautiful week so let's get to it...

Beautiful sunshine and it's so nice to see our snowbanks finally going down a bit!!

Annie and I decided to spring up our hairdos. So she chopped off 3 &1/2 inches and got bangs. And I chopped off 4 inches! And added more blonde again. We're ready for Spring break soon! 






Our girl in action this weekend ;) 



this sweet memory came up on my FB recently. Just babies!!

    I love that quote, I have been seeing it a lot lately. Orange French toast sounds yummy, I didn't know that was a thing, I will have to search up a recipe and try it for my son.

    I LOVE your quote - so so true!! Glad to hear you're warming up and seeing some much needed sunshine! Sorry to hear about your patient, but kudos for finishing the book on your own. I hope you enjoy it. Your haircuts are so cute. I really need to do something similar so thank you for inspiring me to make an appointment. What an adorable picture of your babies - so sweet! I hope you have a WONDERFUL week.

    Hi Carrie, Oh my, your Annie is growing up fast, very tall now. I love your new haircut, very chic for Spring. Your mild temperatures look about where it is here in the very coldest day of Winter :) I imagine you are glad to see the snow beginning to melt. I know my daughter is ready for Spring over in Canada - but her yard is still piled with snow. Have a great week. xx

    Oh, My Dear, those sweet little munchkin kiddos. How quickly they become teens and then blink your eyes and they're adults.

    I see that you're staying busy, as usual - Carryon Carrie. Take some time for you when you have a chance. You're important too.

    We're going to hit some 60's this week, so hopefully some warm will drift northward to you.

    Enjoy your week and don't work too hard. Much love and many hugs, AP

    You're so beautiful my friend :) What does the BA stand for next to some of your meals?

    Hope you're having a wonderful blessed week.
    xoxo

    Greetings, Carrie! As you can see, I'm running way behind this week, but, here I am! LOL! (Better late than never...right?) :D Glad your temps are warming up and that spring has finally sprung (officially, anyway). ;) I listen to Celtic music year round. It's my favorite. I especially like Celtic Woman and listen to that when doing housework. That's sweet that you are finishing the book in honor of the sweet lady that passed. I love Lucy Maud Montgomery's books and have read the entire Anne series. So good! Well, my friend, I hope that you've had a lovely week and weekend and I will most likely see you again on the morrow. Blessings! <3
