I can't believe this is the last Happy Homemaker Monday post for January 2017!  Where has the month gone?  I can't say I'll be sad to turn the calendar to February :)

As I look around the house::::
 
I think I mentioned before that we are now living at my Mom and Dad's house.  My mom is a very "tidy" person so there really isn't much that needs done.  Lucky me!  I do try to help out with the cooking and dishes and such but sometimes Mom beats me to it!

On today's to do list::::

Chiropractor
Exercise
Bible reading
Blog reading/visiting
Crochet

I just finished a cozy mystery so I thought next I'd go for a historical romance.  I've just started it so I'm still learning the character and getting a "feel" for the book.  I've enjoyed Karen Witemeyer's writing in the past and am looking forward to digging in to this book.

 
On the TV::::

Aurora Teagarden Mystery's on Hallmark M&M
Cupcake Wars

We also went to see "A Dog's Purpose". 
Be watching for a review soon!

 
On the Radio:::

This week for Songs on Sunday, I featured "Ever Be" by Aaron Shust.
 
On the menu this week::::

Monday - Taco Salad, apples
Tuesday - Chicken, cheesy potatoes, green beans, grapes
Wednesday -  Pot Roast with Carrots and Potatoes
Thursday - Potato soup with Ham, broccoli, oranges
Friday - Pizza burgers, apples
Saturday - Oatmeal, toast
Sunday - Dinner at Church


What I am creating at the moment::::

After giving much thought to making Kaylee a temperature blanket for the year she was born, I decided it would end up being huge!

Instead, we decided that I would make her a Giant Granny Square Afghan using the colors and order that she picked out.  I took this picture yesterday, so I'm a bit farther along after working on it last night.


 
I'm also finished with a Cosy Stripe Afghan by Attic24 in Moorland inspired colors except for tying in the ends.  More on that at a later date :)

From the Camera:::
 

 
Squeeeellll!!!!  It is coming out just in time for my "Birthday Date"!

  3. I so want to see a Dog's purpose, but am so afraid it will be sad too. Looks like a FUN read if you judge he book by its cover - can't wait to see what you think! Have a great week and I hope the chiropractor helps.

  7. Love the colors in your afghan. So pretty. I can't wait to see Beauty and the Beast too! I love Emma Watson and that's been a favorite story and Disney movie in the past.
