Happy Homemaker ~ 3/9/2025

Hosted by Diary of a SAHM.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm so excited that it is almost 7:30pm and it's just now getting dark!  I'm beyond ready for the long evenings of Spring/Summer :)

I just got back from evening Church services where we're studying Luke 11 and the Model Prayer.  It has me thinking a lot about my prayer life.  Does anyone reading this write your prayers?  I'm debating starting a prayer journal to help me be more intentional with my prayers.  Let me know your thoughts.

Now on with the post!

The weather outside is:

Just look at these temperatures!  I got my Spring/Summer dresses out to start wearing to work :)

On the to-do list:

Other than Church, I didn't really do much.  I took a Sunday Afternoon Nap (yes, it should be capitalized!) .  They are one of my absolute favorite things to do!  This evening the hubby and I went for a little drive before evening Church and now I'm back home and writing this post.

Happening this week:

Monday (3/10) ~ I work 10am-5pm.  Weigh-in for my Weekly Weigh In post.  I'm not really excited about it this week as I'm pretty certain I'll have a gain :(

Tuesday (3/11) ~ I'm off work and will be making phone calls, working on market prep items, reading and a secret project that I can't share yet.  It will be the second Tuesday of the month, so we have Harvesters Class at Church in the evening for a potluck, Bible lesson and monthly meeting.  

Wednesday (3/12) ~ I work 10am-5pm.  Prayer Meeting and Bible Study is at 6:30pm so I have just enough time to get home, eat and head out again.

Thursday (3/13) ~ I'm off work on Thursday but I have a PCP appointment at 10am for my regular medication check.  It is also pay-day and I'll have all the "accounting" do to with the family finances (a necessary evil!).

Friday (3/14) ~ I work 10am-5pm.  I'll try to get started on the laundry so I don't have to do it all on Saturday.

Saturday (3/15) ~ Possible day for grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning around the house.

Currently reading:

I'm listening to "Beyond Ivy Walls" by Rachel Fordham, the March selection of the Good for the Soul Women's Book Club.  March 27th at 8pm EST is our Zoom Chat about the book.

I haven't listened/read all week.  As well as having the audiobook of "Beyond Ivy Walls" I also downloaded the ebook.  I'm hoping to dig in some more this week.  I think I'm on Chapter 6 so just getting into the book.

Listening to:

I'm currently listening to KLOVE as I'm writing this post.  I usually share a specific song but can't remember what I've already shared.  Did I share "A Lil Church" by  TobyMac yet?  I guess I could look back but I just don't have the umption in my gumption right now...

Watching:

We started watching "Extracted" (or is it Extraction), which look promising.  "Farmer Wants a Wife" will be coming back on for Season 3 on March 20th so I'll be tuning in to that.  So much better than The Bachelor in my opinion.

In the Kitchen:

Nothing too spectacular this week...

In the Craft Basket:

I took the week off from crafting to try to get my  cro-jo back.  I'm toying with the idea of making a "Book Blanket" which is where I would crochet a Granny square to match the cover of the books I read for the year.  I haven't quite decided yet if I'm going to.

Bible Verse

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

James 5:16

Have a great week!
