Happy Homemaker Monday

I'm late putting this up, of course. It's been an eventful morning, and Ella and I both still have the crud, so trying to do work/school/life has been extra exhausting.

Here we go!

The weather in my neck of the woods:  Humid, and too warm for my liking. Bring on Fall, I'm so ready!

What I'm reading: "Where Secrets Sleep" by Marta Perry (slow start, I have no time to get into it) and "Unseen" by John Michael Hileman (on the Kindle, I'm 2% in, that should tell ya'll how much time I've had to read)

Things that make me happy: My husband. My kitties. The ipsy bag I got today, even if the lipgloss makes me look like a wild west saloon girl (no, there aren't any pictures, and no, I will not be keeping it. I'm already looking to trade with someone)

On the menu for this week: I did SO well, until the end of the week, when Ella and I both got sick. Bleeeeeh. Making up for it this week (let's hope, ya'll, let's hope)

Monday: Zuppa Toscana
Tuesday: Pot Roast, Potatoes
Wednesday: French Dip Sandwiches
Thursday: Chicken Enchiladas
Friday: Chicken Kebabs
Saturday: (Farm Tour) Beef Stew, Potatoes

Looking around the house: It's kitty nap time. Ella's studying the solar system.

                   Bank
                   Post office

New Recipe I tried last week: Zucchini Chocolate Cake. And it.was.amazing.

In the craft basket: What if I told you it was headbands? lolol

Looking forward to: Grandma Jean's house, like always. Starting a study on bats with Ella.

Homemaking Tip of the week: Clorox bleach wipes are a lifesaver...especially to clean up cat puke (gak)

Lesson Learned: Oh, man, where do I start? Hot tea is wonderful. When your husband doesn't like someone you know and then offers you a reason (a perfectly valid reason), make sure you listen to it.

On my prayer list: My parents.
                                A baby girl named Ruth who has stolen my heart
                                A situation that is out of my hands but is breaking my heart.
                             
Devotionals, Key Verses, Scripture: 

Have a blessed week!!!!
