Happy Homemaker Monday


The weather in my neck of the woods:
Bright frosty morning. Forecast says it's going to be clear all day!

Things that make me happy:

Pottering about at home.

Book(s) I'm reading:

Taking Your Place in Christ by Mark Hankins
They Met at Calvary - were you there? by WE Sangster
I Am With You Always: True Stories of Encounters with Jesus by G. Scott Sparrow

What's on my TV today:

Right now: Animal Cops Houston
This afternoon: Midsomer Murders
Tonight: The Middle (I LOVE The Middle)

On the menu for dinner:

Something easy like fish, chips and peas because I'm going out to a church meeting tonight.

On my To Do List:
Clean downstairs
Laundry
Ironing
Shop for Christmas clothes for the girls with Mum
Clean bedrooms

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
Still not made Quiche!

In the craft basket:
More pom-poms!
Painted eggs
Paper mache box

Looking forward to this week:
Half-term with the girls!

Tips and Tricks:

To get your children to eat more fruit have a regular 'fruit time' everyday. At first they might pull their faces, but once it is in the routine they expect it. Our fruit time is in the afternoon as soon as they get back from school. I get very few complaints now, even from Chatterbox who is not a big fan of fruit.

My favourite blog post this week:

Sandra's Moonlight post, gorgeous photos of the moon.

Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):


None

No words needed (favourite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):


I love hanging washing out.

Lesson learned the past few days:

That we can so easily lose our focus on Jesus in the midst of all our church busyness.

On my mind and in my prayers:

My nan and granddad.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me. Psalm 31:3

Love your lesson learned. As well as your scripture. I love to just sit and watch the laundry flapping in the breeze.

Have a great week.

Good tip about the fruits. When the girls complain of hunger between meals they get to eat something healthy like carrots or nuts. I know they aren't really hungry if they turn me down.
