Happy Homemaker Monday

 

I am linking up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥

 It's been frigid, which I'm sure is pretty much the same across the country! But it's going to be 54 degrees in a few days and lots of rain.  I HATE that! 

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
  

 I see snow on the ground and covering the top of my birdhouse. Cars passing by and a hockey rink in the park that will be getting some use very soon. 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥

Just doing a little blog hopping and taking my morning medicine!  I slept in this morning. 

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
Mostly thinking about goals for the New Year.  But also wondering where the little rack is that goes in the bottom of my Instapot went to! 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥

 I was hit with a vicious bout of food poisoning yesterday!  We had to cancel Christmas dinner.  Feeling much better today so we will be going to my Dad's to have Christmas today. 

 
♥♥ Listening to ♥♥

My son clacking away on his keyboard as I clack away on mine.  A fire siren and a police siren outside.  The rest is silent. 

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
Nothing yet - I will probably do some chicken noodle soup to test out my stomach. 

               

  

♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
  Probably just a small snack since we are having a big dinner! 

 

 

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥
 Ham, turkey, fresh green beans with red potatoes, homemade mac n cheese, baked beans, corn, deviled eggs and homemade bread.  For dessert we have cherry cobbler, chocolate pie, and iced cream.  (There were supposed to be more desserts but .... food poisoning lol) 

 

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Still in my pjs.  But since I'm not 100% and we are a casual family, it will be yoga pants and a t-shirt of some sort! 

 
♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥

I am still slogging my way through Anna Karenina.  I started it back in May and then I stopped for several months.  I'm about at the 1/2 way point.  The parts about Anna are very good - other parts (like 50 pages about mowing the fields!) are more difficult to get through! 

I will post more about my bookish endeavors tomorrow! 

♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥

Jeff and I watched "Elves" on Netflix - it was pretty silly but he liked it

I started watching Jamestown - so far I am enjoying it

Days of Our Lives

YouTubers (lots of junk journaling and goal planning) 

♥♥ On the menu ♥♥

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
Christmas has exploded!  I'm so glad it is garbage and recycling night!  We have so many bags of wrapping paper and so many boxes that need to be broken down.  I still have gifts on the dining room table as I was sick so they didn't get put away.  Feeling a little panicky because today was supposed to be a clean up day before work tomorrow!  But it will have to wait.  I have a long weekend coming up and things will get back in order!

♥♥ What I'm creating/studying ♥♥

I need to finish up working on the January Bible Study on this blog.  I plan to study Sarah for the entire month.  Her attributes and characteristics.  How she is still relevant to study today.  How important it is for us, as women, to look to the Biblical women and know them on a more "personal" level. 

♥♥ You Tube/Blog/Pin Post to share ♥♥

Lots of Junk Journal stuff - I plan on using one this year as a memory book/documented life/faith book. 

15 Different Types of Journals to Keep 

Paper Terrace on YouTube - Different Types of Pages to Make 

♥♥  Devotional, Bible Verse ♥♥

I'm starting a new Bible Study online with a group of ladies on January 11th.  Jeff and I are also starting a new devotional book (Before You Say I Do) on January 1st. 

For now I am scripture writing in my Prayer Journal.  Writing out prayers, current songs and hymns.
