Happy Homemaker Monday ~ 7/18/2022


Come join Diary of a SAHM for Happy Homemaker Monday. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello, and Happy Monday!

And...another two weeks have gone by since I've updated the blog...

I mentioned in my last post that I've been job hunting.  Not only has this taken up my time but also my mind has been focused on things of that nature rather than the blog.

I don't know what direction this will take me in the future but I sure am glad that I know the ONE who holds that future!

For now, lets get on with being a Happy Homemaker :)

The weather outside is:

We had some pretty heavy rains today (Sunday) but I guess we need it.  This week is looking spectacular!




On today's to-do list: 

I'm working on tweaking my entire routine as changes are coming in my life but for today we have a meeting with Laken's principal about the upcoming year.  He offered to get her schedule for her and give her a tour of the building as she is feeling a bit nervous about going back to school after being in cyber school for most of last school year.  I thought it was very kind of him to offer his time to take us on a personal tour.

Happening this week:

Other than the school meeting the rest of the week should be pretty "normal" with nothing out of the ordinary scheduled.

I do have a few things around the house that I'd like to get situated before going back into the workforce, so we'll probably be working on them as time allows.

Currently reading:

I have been reading nothing.  I just can't get my mind into a reading mode.  

Watching:

I also haven't been watching TV.  Laken and the hubby watched the latest Disney "Zombies" movie last night but I wasn't feeling it so I went to bed.

Listening to:

Mostly KLOVE and The Message with a bit of The Highway thrown in for variety.

On the menu today:

Pork Chops, Homemade French Fries, Peas, Apples

In the Craft Basket:

I haven't picked up anything crafty in weeks!  I need to get Sunny Blue Hawaii 2 back off the shelf and work on it here and there.  I just haven't had much free time to sit down and work on it.

Friday we made the trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium.  Left to right are:  Dad, Mom, the hubby, Laken.  (I was taking the picture :)

Memory Verse

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sigh, LORD, my rock and my Redeemer."

Happy Homemaker Monday ~ 7/4/2022

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!

Hello, and Happy Monday!

I can't believe it has been a month since I've written a HHM post.  I've been crazy busy with Church Camp and now job hunting.  More on that later!

The weather outside is:

Loving this weather!



On today's to-do list: 

The hubby is on vacation this week so we have a very event-filled week ahead.  Today the plan is to clean, wash the bedding and start getting things gathered to go camping on Thursday.

Happening this week:

Tuesday we're planning on taking a day trip to Blackwater Falls in West Virginia.  We're also planning on making a stop at Smoke Hole Caverns.  Laken has never been to either place so she's excited.

Wednesday will be laundry and grocery day for camping.

Thursday and Friday we'll be camping and then coming home on Saturday.

Currently reading:

I am behind on reading "The Rose Garden" by Susanna Kearsley for the Kindred Readers Book Club selection for July.  I'm on chapter 11 but haven't even picked the book up to read in a month.  I was enjoying it.  I just have had so much on my mind lately.  I'm hoping to finish it up THIS week.  I know I've said that before but this time, I mean it!   :) 


Watching:

Unfortunately, the hubby has taken to watching the "Christmas in July" movies on Hallmark...

Listening to:

This week for "Songs on Sunday" I featured "Fake It" by Tauren Wells.  I hope you'll check it out :) 

On the menu today:

I'm not sure what we're having today.  I have a few options.  I'll figure it out later.

In the Craft Basket:

I haven't crafted in a few weeks either, so I'm still working on Sunny Blue Hawaii 2.  I have made a few more blocks but not enough to make much of a difference.

We got our first egg from our chickens!   :) :) :)
