Home Maker Saturday 11/22

Ok, so this link up is actually Home Maker Monday, but I don't get to be a stay at homer on Mondays, so I am making my post about Saturday. I would love to be a Stay at Home Homemaker but at this season of my life, it is not possible. So even though I am a working wife and mother, I am still a homemaker at heart and this is what my Saturday (if I don't have to run, run, run around) entails...
 
The weather outside is..... Rainy but in the 50's.  It still surprises me that after a few cold days how 50 degree weather feels so warm.  I am wearing a tee shirt and cardigan with my jeans and sandals...I Love It!!
 
On the breakfast plate this morning...Bacon and eggs made by the hubby.  I made mine a sandwhich on a hamburger bun.  There is a deli near us that always makes their breakfast sandwhichs on hamburger buns.  For some reason, I have latched on to this and prefer mine on a bun at home instead of regular bread.  I am also having an extra cup of coffee this morning in honor of the rain.  Rain and coffee just go together :)
 
As I look outside my window... A beautiful rain drizzling down.
 
Right now I am.... doing laundry (love the smell of the dryer with fabric softener) and picking up.
 
As I look around the house... I see how busy our weeks have been lately and am happy for a slower pace today.
 
On today's to do list... At some point we need to run to the big town to take Katie's computer in for repair.  It was damaged by a flying drink at the kitchen table while working on a paper....many tears flowed from my college girl.  I keep telling her it will work out.  At this point, she feels her life is over :( 
 
Currently reading... I plan to start a new book this evening.  I am not sure which direction I am leaning....fiction or nonfiction.
 
On the TV today... Doug is ruling the tv roost today.  I am sure it will be some older movie (you know like from the 70's or 80's lol) knowing him. 
 
On the menu this week... Ummmm Thanksgiving!! I am making Waldorf salad for our work party tomorrow.  I could eat the whole thing myself, for real.
 
What I am creating at the moment..I am planning to start a couple new scarves for Christmas presents.  I am going to be one of those ladies who brings her crochet projects to the basketball games this year.  I am a cheer mom you know :)
 
New recipe I tried or want to try this week...I have never actually made Waldorf salad (though it looks rather easy) so I guess that is my new recipe :)
 
Favorite photo from the phone or camera this week...


 yes, she is a "little" spoiled....

    Love reading through your list. Can't wait to hear what you decided to read. By the way, I bought whip cream for my coffee today. I think an afternoon cup is calling me!

      I hope you enjoyed your coffee! If starbucks does it, it must be the right thing to do :)

    I have not had a Waldorf salad in years. I agree that coffee and rain (and cold weather) go hand in hand. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

    It was so easy to make and reminded me of my childhood. I was really glad there was plenty to take home and keep eating :)

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
