The weather in my neck of the woods:
Its 70 degrees and cloudy. They are calling for scattered thunderstorms and it is feeling like fall here in Ohio.
One of my simple pleasures:
Doing devotions early in the morning before anyone is up and then reading a book.
I finished reading The Bride’s of Lancaster County Series. I am now reading Going Home the 1st book of The Brides of Webster County Series by Wanda E. Brunstetter.
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:
Hamburgers, Hotdogs with Sloppy Joe Sauce, Eggplant Parmesan, Baked Potatoes, and Corn on the Cob
On my To Do List:
My daily cleaning schedule such as laundry, dishes, and cleanings up the kitchen. My focus room for this week will be my Living Room. I will clean it from top to bottom and organize. I run my cleaning schedule similar to the Fly Lady’s Zone Cleaning except we do each room every week rotated between the kids and I. I finished the work on organize my little office last week so I will be uploading pictures to my blog. My next project will be in the basement working on my extra kitchen storage.

Winter Squash Casserole
In the craft basket:
I bought an apple themed fall wreath for $2.00 at the Thrift Store last week so I will be reworking it this week for our back door.
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 am look forward to watching a series that I borrowed form the library called 1940’s House with my husband this week since we watched 1900 House last week.
Homemaking Tip for this week:
If you know that you will have a busy week to lighten your load ask your family for help or make plans to do a couple chores early such as cleaning, prep food, making an easy meal. Put off anything that is not necessary for that time list extra trips to the store.
