Happy Monday Friends ~
I hope the weekend was good to you. We had a good one here and I especially had fun doing some craft and spring fun shopping with my Mumsy yesterday. It's been so nice that she's been recovering so well since her surgery back in December. She is still finishing up some therapy, but she doesn't need her walker much anymore and mainly just using a cane right now. And hopefully she will be free of all of them in the next month or so!
Now on to the week ahead...

Now on to the week ahead...
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
Sunny and clear but cold and only 7 above today. We're supposed to (hopefully) be pretty clear of snow this week and get into the 20's and 30's by later in the week
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING
Avocado toast and iced vanilla coffee
RIGHT NOW I AM:
Listening to classical music while I work on this
AS I LOOK OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
The sun is shining and we're finally going to stop our icicle problems! My Hubby has some of his work guys working on our roof to get all of the snow off. We had record breaking snow totals for our area in February. Ugh!
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
Sunny and tidy. Still have wintery decorations out, but planning to get motivated in next couple weeks to do spring cleaning and get out easter decorations
ON THIS WEEK'S TO DO LIST:
Usual errands, groceries later in the week, take my Mom to another appt, Annie's hockey banquet, Aaron get packed and ready to visit his new college, Ash Wednesday mass, Ruby follow up appt from her ear issues, cleaning and home projects
CURRENTLY READING
ON THE TV TODAY:
The Resident, The Good Doctor, The Rookie, New Amsterdam, This is Us, Kids Baking Championship, Greys Anatomy, Will and Grace, Gold Rush, Survivor, sometimes the Voice, and watched The Masked Singer that just ended. That was a fun show! I only guessed 2 of them right ;)
ON THE MENU THIS WEEK:
MONDAY: BLT's, side salads, fruit
TUESDAY: penne pasta, garlic bread, veggies
WEDNESDAY: mass night - something easy (& no meat)
THURSDAY: Annie's hockey banquet at school
FRIDAY: Annie's BBQ chicken pasta bake, salad
**going to simmer a fun slow cooker cider over the weekend - as I found a recipe where you take a gallon of apple cider, add cinnamon sticks and then after cooking a while throw in a small box of any flavor gelatin you'd like to add and let simmer a little longer. So may throw in strawberry or cherry? A fun spiced berry apple cider. ;) My kids love cider and once I make it I keep it in a big pitcher in the fridge and they can pour a mug and microwave some anytime they need something cozy
WHAT I AM CREATING AT THE MOMENT
scrapbook gift for a relative (& organizing projects)
NEW RECIPE I WANT TO TRY THIS WEEK:
I will share new recipes from last week and I will share Annie's pasta bake in the future too
TIP OF THE WEEK:
FROM THE CAMERA
Annie had to come up with a hybrid critter for school. I love how her mind works. She came up with a "mouseulent" - a cross between a mouse and a succulent. Feel free to read its features above. ;)
I wanted in on the markers and doodling so I added to Annie's book a bit. Lol
I enjoy filters way too much and like how they feed my moods. Yes, I am a dork
Love these 2 goof balls so much - my baby Girls xoxo
