Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and wet.

One of my simple pleasures:
A soft pillow to lay my head on.

On my bedside table:
Family photos, lamp, phone, and bible.

On my TV:
Off

On the menu for tonight:
Taco salad.

On my to do list:
Make bed and pick up in master bedroom.
Clean and mop kitchen.
Laundry (wash, dry, put away and iron)

New recipe I tried last week:
None

In the craft basket:
I have some old towels that I am using to make extra cleaning pads for my Shark steam mop. I made two today and ran out of the velcro that I need to make more.

Looking forward to:
Getting my photos framed and (or) put in photo albums. I've had 702 pictures printed at Sams in the last 2 weeks (250 1 week and 452 last week). They were some that I've  had on cd's dating back 4 or 5 years and I still have alot to get printed. I have enjoyed going back and looking through them. My son has some of our family that I HOPE (Lee, I am still waiting . . . patiently : ) he shares with me so I can get prints of them.

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Use the tablecloth and nice china at least one night a week "just because." Why save those things only for special occasions? Another day of life is special occasion enough.


Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
No favorites.

Favorite photo from last week:

Maya enjoying a treat (no it is not a cigarette).

Lesson learned the past few days:
I'm most productive in the morning

On my Prayer List:
My family

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
"A Bible that is falling apart belongs to someone who isn't."
