Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Monday my Friends 

I hope you had a lovely weekend. We kept cozy here. It's definitely been feeling more like Winter in the air and all the leaves are gone. We've had several days with snowflakes in the air. I can't believe it's November already!! Btw, did you have a fun Halloween friends? I shared all about ours in the previous post and shared pics and even some recipes too, if you'd like to check it out. 

Annie had scrimmages this weekend and even got to play some varsity time! Ad and I went and cheered her on. She was so proud and excited (& nervous). Pretty big deal for only an 8th grader...especially when they only let one other 8th grader get varsity time too. Annie played great and even had an assist on a goal in one of the games! 

She has more scrimmages this week before the real season games start. She'll play JV but we'll have to see if she'll be playing more varsity time again? I need to get her out of school to take her for some appts today pretty soon, so need to get this show on the road! 😊 

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING

A Jimmy Dean frozen sausage egg biscuit roll-up (it was really good!), raspberries, coffee with amaretto cream

RIGHT NOW I AM:

I'm listening to Christmas music. Yes, Christmas music people! It goes too fast for me and it's one of my fave parts of the season. So as soon as Halloween is past I listen to the music. Currently Josh Groban is singing the song from Polar Express. I'm also working on my planner for the week.

AS I LOOK OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

It's gray and just looks cold. Watching Ruby run around in the yard and just chased a bunny. It was snowing earlier, but it stopped now. Supposed to get some snow on and off today. ❄️ 

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE

It looks tidy and I can hear the hum of the humidifier. I finally got it up and running for the season. It gets so dry with the heat running all the time this time of year. As soon as Ruby's fur starts getting filled with static I know it's time! Lol

ON THIS WEEK'S TO DO LIST:

Usual errands, Annie hockey practices and scrimmages, volleyball banquet, her doctor appointments, helping my Mom, bring FIL a meal, groceries later in the week, home projects, hospice volunteering

WHAT I AM CREATING AT THE MOMENT

I know my life has overwhelmed me and I've kept putting my projects aside. But I have slowly been getting back to scrapbook catch up and a big project I hope to finally share soon. 💜 

NEW RECIPE I WANT TO TRY THIS WEEK:

I will share banana cake and apple bread recipes 

TIP OF THE WEEK:

FROM THE CAMERA

The other day the bay had it's first glazing over with some ice in the morning and it was snowing so it accumulated on the little bit of ice 

but inside it was nice and cozy

It was a homemade (crust from scratch) kind of night the other night. T

My Girl in the varsity game this weekend. She's in the yellow reaching out her stick to defend an attacking forward on the other team ❤️ 

Late Fall love
