Happy Homemaker Monday

I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today - it's Happy Homemaker Monday.

On the breakfast plate. . .


~Homemade yogurt with a drizzle of maple syrup and homemade granola, organic toast with homemade pumpkin butter, and eggs from my ladies.


The weather. . .
~cloudy, a bit on the warmer side, and the feeling that we may get more rain.  No sun whatsoever.
 



What I am reading.....
Had a good load of stuff come in at the library recently.  I'm reading through this, after Sam I Am over at farmgirlsam.blogspot shared it.


 On my TV. . . .

Not as funny as I thought, movie borrowed from the library.

Very good!  Very suspenseful.  Also from the library.  We watched one other movie, and watched the Hallmark channel. They had some good clean shows on recently.


My menu this week. . .
Monday - Pesto Chicken Cauliflower 
Tuesday - Sunday ....I have no idea, ha ha!  
Maybe Wild Alaskan Salmon burgers, Lasagna, and spaghetti with cauliflower
   


My to-do list. . .

exercise 
run errands
all floors, swept and vacuumed
dust
make English muffins
clean master bath
laundry
library returns and pick-ups
make my tea infusion
dinner prep
My list will most likely move over into tomorrow.  When I run to the "Big City" I lose a lot of time on my chores.



 What I am Crocheting, Sewing, Knitting, Creating. . .

   Soap saver bags.  I made10 of these, and will be sold in a local gift shop.  I'm still in search of a store to sell my dishcloths, but I am thrilled I've gotten this accomplished.

 In the process of making these, I received more orders for them.  My other projects are just getting a short break.

Looking around the house. . .
I'll admit it.  My walnuts are still on the kitchen table.  Even I don't want to crack them, or have the time most days.  However, I am blessed to have them,  so I don't complain, I just crack a few when I get the chance. And in the process of deep cleaning, I put some decor up (more on that tomorrow).
 



Favorite photo from my camera...more like from my phone. . .

 Tiger picked his spot for the day and stayed there - the computer chair.  


What I am wearing. . .
Nothing special, jeans, t-shirt, sweatshirt and tennis shoes.  However, I'm about to put my muck boots on.
 

One of my simple pleasures. . .
Journaling.  I have a journal for just about anything anymore.
 

Bible Verse, Devotional. . .

Love the soap saver bags, very cute! Our little cat likes to pick her spots for the day as well. Currently, it's my pillow but I'm not sure how I feel about that. Hope you have a wonderful week!

The soap saver bags are a great idea! I'm assuming you put a bar of soap inside and then use the bag as a type of scrubbee/washcloth? We watched Almost Christmas as well - I love Danny Glover. Have a great week!

Pamela, you could certainly place a full bar of soap in the bag, but the concept is to fill it with all of your tiny leftover slivers. Keep adding the slivers until you have enough to use.

HI Kristina :) Your Tiger looks like our Oscar! I love the colouring, and of course, I love that pillow! :) I live by that pillow's message ha ha.

I love to hear about your day(s)...it motivates me! The soap saver bags are so cute and practical. My Mother used to do that years ago and then of course we all went to liquid soaps but I use Dr. Bonner's organic bar soap. They would make nice gifts with a new bar of soap to go with....I think I need to make some of those! You always appeal to my practical nature....thanks! Cute picture of kitty and great quote to inspire!

Thank you Sam I Am. I am glad I inspire you. I sometimes feel that no one really wants to hear about my cleaning as well as homesteading etc.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
