Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cloudy and cold. It is 26 degrees right now...A definite change from a year ago when it was sunny and in the upper 60's.


Things that make me happy:
Snow. A husband that gives practical gifts. :D


Book I'm reading:
BROKE by Glenn Beck; Never Say Diet by Chantel Hobbs; The Rising (prequel to Left Behind) by Tim LaHaye



What's on my TV today:
nothing


On the menu for dinner:
I have no idea yet


On my To Do List:
Clean the house up, do laundry, get the Christmas stuff put away


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
None

In the craft basket:

Nothing necessarily in the basket. I need to clean up from the last minute Christmas gift frenzy.

Looking forward to this week:
Getting my house back in order and making some goals for 2011


Tips and Tricks:
Don't let your laundry pile up!!! I am not looking forward to getting in there and getting busy on the laundry...



My favorite blog post this week:
A homeschool blog...I can't remember which blog it was...but she was talking about how we each kind of play a part in 'The Christmas Carol' around Christmas. I realized I was being rather Scrooge-ish, so I tried to change real quick before Christmas.


Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
Don't Waste Your Homemaking


No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):
I've got no pictures uploaded right now...

Lesson learned the past few days:
That I really need to get organized and get some sort of schedule going for homeschooling. I cannot deal with chaotic running around. I just don't function well like that, and the kids NEED a routine.


On my mind:
Too much to share right now


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1
