Happy Homemaker Monday



Hello and Happy Monday my Friends! 

It's a crazy weather one here. It's kind of snowing, mixed with rain - getting icy. Annie's friend stayed overnight last night but no school for them due to the scary weather. I just keep dreaming Spring will show up timely this year!! My son came home for lunch too - so I've been playing Carrie's kitchen diner part of the day. I made pancakes for Annie this morning and my son had some of then and other things when he came home for lunch. I did some hospice work I needed to from home and now I'm finally getting to work on this post. 

 It was a mellow weekend here because I've been getting over the last of this head cold crud. Saturday I had energy and cleaned and got out my Spring decorations. I've made Matt stay away because of my cold - but he did come hang out this weekend. Yesterday we played cards, sat out in the sunshine on the back deck because it was a much nicer day, and watched a movie. I'm feeling much better today and even have most of my voice back and don't sound like a bullfrog anymore. Lol So I'm ready to tackle the week ahead...


















THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:

THINKING ABOUT:  


I feel like my brain is now on a regular loop of wanting winter over and I keep dreaming of Springtime. Planning in my head the flowers I want to do outside and I may get some raised beds to garden some vegetables and herbs too.

Also, I watched 127 Hours movie with my daughter and her Friend. Annie and I had never seen it and her friend had but really wanted to watch it with us. Another amazing true story movie!

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:


















FROM THE CAMERA:






















Even though there's snow and blech outside - giving off nothing but Spring vibes inside! 🌸 🐰 











The sky was so blue yesterday. And it wasn't windy and the sun felt warm - so even though it was only 25* out it felt lovely. Matt didn't have his boots here - but I walked down our backyard hill with Ruby - trekked through the snow and threw her snowballs. Matt had his glasses on but it was so bright he could hardly see and didn't have sunglasses so I found an old pair of mine and put them over his regular glasses. I told him he looked like Elton John! 😂  He said they did the trick so that was all that mattered. Lol



Ruby has a snow mustache all winter long ❄️ 












PRAYER LIST:

 For an end to the conflict in the Ukraine and other areas of the world living in war & fear. For peace and unity in this country, especially from hate and shootings or violence.  For anyone sick, suffering, in pain or fear... that God bring them comfort and peace. For His Light and Love to cast out the dark everywhere 🙏 












PRAYER, INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE OR DEVOTIONAL:


Have a wonderful week! I always appreciate the time I get to spend with you here friends. xo
I'm sharing this with Sandra of Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday.

  1. I am with you in being done with winter! And what happened today? Another ice storm. It's almost March and has to be done soon, right?
    Your blue skies were beautiful! Matt really is channeling Elton John there.
    Glad you're feeling better.

    1. Thanks lovely Billie Jo! I'm finally feeling better and not taking it for granted. Getting things done around here! And you'd love my carpet as it's very vacuum marky. Lol Stay cozy & think Spring!

  3. You just keep all that snow up there, I've more or less moved on to spring down here. Though I'm afraid winter probably has one last hurrah hiding out somewhere. Love all your cheerful spring decor and those sunglasses, maybe you should make Matt sing some Elton John tunes for you. Hope you continue to feel better!
