Happy Homemaker Monday...

On my bedside table: "Organic Housekeeping" by Ellen Sandbeck

On my TV: Nothing

On the menu for tonight: Beef Ravioli

On my To Do list: Nothing for today :)

New Recipe I tried last week: Nothing

Looking foward to: Scrapbooking on Tuesday

Homemaking Tip for the Week: Add a little vinegar to your water when washing 'stinky' clothes (socks, sports uniforms, etc)

Favorite Blog Post of the week: Simplifying our stuff, by Me! Usually I don't toot my own horn - or try not to. But I love the book "Organic Housekeeping" and this post talks about some of the stuff I have read.

Favorite Photo of the week:


My daughter's hockey game - she is doing the face off in the orange. She plays on an 8 and under team. And the reason she is doing the face off is, I love this, the little boy who usually does it had to go to the bathroom right in the middle of the game. My husband, the coach, said it must have been the chugging of the water in between games so they wouldn't get dehydrated. The little kids need a potty break. Lesson learned.

Lesson learned the past few days: Besides the above one... I can't really think of one. Is that good or bad??

On my prayer list: Two friends who recently lost their fathers.

Devotional, Scripture reading, Key verse: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. ~Psalms 32:8

Why I Don't Keep a Journal...

Image
I've never been one to keep a journal or diary (as we called it back in the 70's).  I had a diary in grade school but wrote in it only sporadically.  It was one of those cute little ones with a lock and key that were so popular back in the day. I had some riveting entries like this one: Today I went to school.  I came home from school and Debbie came over after school.  I watched the Brady Bunch and  The Partridge Family at night. And this one: Today I went to school.  Dianna was sick today and didn't come to school.   Riveting.  Am I right?  Good thing my diary wasn't put in a time capsule lest future generations think kids in the 70's were super boring.   Since that first little diary I've tried to journal (the new millennium terminology) every now and then with similar luck.  Even I get bored with what I've written.  Over the years I've tried to figure out why I didn't enjoy this process.  In fact, I pretty much loath th

Easter Deals, Ideas & Fun Stuff - 4/11/17

Image
~I just finished reading 'The One & Only' by Emily Giffin .  I've read all her books except her newest one ('First Comes Love') and I think 'The One & Only' is my favorite so far. I highly recommend it. I am excited to dig into 'First Comes Love' soon. ~Easter is Sunday and I know most of us are knee deep in preparation. *One of our family traditions is making these sticky buns for Easter morning.  I usually only make them on Christmas and Easter as they are pretty rich and I want them to be a treat.  Kind of how my Grandma made ebelskiver's for us when we were little - we wanted them everyday but she made them on rare occasion and everyone of her grandchildren remembers how special they were. If she had made them every time we asked (i e. every morning) they wouldn't have been special and we'd likely not remember them as fondly as we do. *I am forever looking for wreaths for our front door.  We have double doors  s

25 Candy-Free Easter Basket Filler Ideas

Image
Every year I write about candy-free Easter basket filler ideas. We are bombarded right after Valentine's Day with Peeps, chocolate bunnies and Cadbury Creme Eggs every time we enter a store..  There has to be more to an Easter basket than sugar, right?  No matter the size of the basket, non-sugar goodies are a must for Easter.  While I don't want Easter to turn into another Christmas-like gift giving holiday, I am always searching for gift ideas to pass on to the Easter Bunny.  Here are 25 non-candy Easter basket ideas (some new ideas, some are old stand-by's) for kids of all ages: For Little Kids (0-8 years or so) Coloring Books and Crayons - there are awesome Easter Bunny & Religious coloring books out there this time of year - a great place to check is your local dollar store.  Legos - I love the   'Friends'   line that is out for girls now.  The usual cars and trucks and airplanes are still out there for the boys. Small Play Characters - like   Litt
