Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Its 80 degrees. It rained last week so my garden got the needed watering.


One of my simple pleasures:
Opening the doors to the house when I get up to see the fresh new day.

I finished reading the 3rd book of The Daughter’s of Lancaster County Series last week and then started The Bride’s of Lancaster County Series. I read the 1st book “A Merry Heart” in 2 days and am now reading the 2nd book “Looking for a Miracle’. I love getting that much reading done in a week as it doesn’t happen often enough.


On my bedside table:
The same as last week tissue, lotion, candle, lamp, a glass bowl that holds chapstick and hair ties. An Upcycled candy sprinkles contained that now contains chocolate and a fabric placemat.


On my TV:
Nothing


On the menu for tonight:
Cheddar Bratwursts, Boiled Purple Potatoes, and Green Beans


On my To Do List:
My daily cleaning schedule such as laundry, dishes, and cleanings up the kitchen.

I am still working on organize my little office.

My daughter Nastasja and I are baking Chocolate Zucchini Bread & Spiced Applesauce Bread to sell at my husbands work.


New Recipe I tried last week:
Grilled Salmon


In the craft basket:
I am still working on the Mary Engelbreit embroidery project called “Sentiments in Suede” from her book “Wrap It Up Gifts to Make Wrap and Give”.


Looking forward to:
I look forward to watching a movie at home with my husband tonight.

Take time to set a pretty table for dinner once in awhile and enjoy family.
