Happy Homemaker Monday... March 6, 2017


Happy Homemaker Monday is hosted by Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

I am also linked up with Organizing Junkie's Menu Plan Monday and 
The Art of Homemaking Mondays at Strangers and Pilgrims.



The weather:::
It's cool-ish outside right now.  Partly cloudy today.  Why don't they ever say "partly sunny"?  That'd be soooooo much more optimistic!!  :)



On my reading pile:::
Today I'm focusing on reading for school which will entail The Adventures of Peter Cottontail and vol 2 of The Boxcar Children.



Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh how I LOVE this miniseries!!!!!

We also watched Return to Mayberry. We are big Andy Griffith fans here (well, I love Aunt Bee the most) and the girls have been wanting to see Barney marry Thelma Lou. :)



On my TV:::
Nothing for TV planned today.  We may watch a show (Dr Pol??) with Mr U tonight. We MAY watch a Jamerrill Stewart Youtube video during lunch if the school day progresses with good attitudes.  My girls LOVE watching her family in the videos.  Always a fun reward. 



On the menu for this week:::

My normal grocery shopping day is Saturday but we didn't go Saturday!!  Mr U usually works, but he was off so we decided to all be together instead.  I will go to the grocery store today. 

M- Buffalo Chicken Dip with celery, cucumbers, and chips to dip with
T- Chicken Cheddar Hoagies and salad (ended up not happening last week)
W- church meal
Th- taco salad



On my to do list:::
Today?  Groceries.  School.  Laundry.  Clean bathrooms



What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Still working on my crocheted dishcloth.  I have to say that as I've gotten older and my eyesight started to change (y'all know- needing those reading glasses now!!!), crocheting has taken me longer.  :(



Looking forward to:::
Mr U having a great work schedule again this week!!!  Normally he has crazy retail hours, but last week and this week have been 8-5!! WOOHOO!!!  I'm going to enjoy it!!



Looking around the house:::

I have lovely vacuum lines from a new vacuum cleaner!!! (Hmmm I'll have to share about that this week!!). I was so excited about it that I vacuumed again this weekend!! OOOOOOH I've missed the vacuum cleaner lines!!!



From the camera:::
I've been searching for 18 years for the perfect homemade pizza crust!!  This MAY be it!! I'll have to make it again to verify.  It was YUMMMMMMY!!!



What I'm wearing today:::
Denim skirt with a black knit top.  Very simple.  I'll probably end up with a lightweight jacket on later if the house stays cool.  Oh and at home ALWAYS slippers.  



One of my simple pleasures:::
Listening to classical music.  



Bible verse, Devotional::: 


Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Psalm 119:11




Hope y'all have a wonderful Monday!!!

Oh, do share that pizza crust recipe after you "verify" it! I've been eager to start watching Victoria, too. Just haven't made time for it yet. I, too, usually wear slippers at home, at least when the weather is cool. As soon as it warms up I'll be in my Birkenstocks.

I followed you here from I'm an Organizing Junkie. I blog at Life With Dee all about "creating a beautiful life". You can see my menu for the week here:

Come on over and I'll make you a (virtual) cup of tea. Have a beautiful week!

Hi Deanna!!!
OH YES I will share the recipe IF it turns out great again! It was soooo wonderful!! I keep thinking "I hope I can duplicate this!!!" My family won't mind my next attempt at it, either. :)

Thank you for visiting!!

Hi Row!!!
The Box Car Children are such sweet books!! And I LOVE that so much homemaking goes on with Jessie and Violet!! They take such sweet time to make anywhere they are warm and inviting!!

Thank you for visiting today!!

Hi Pamela!!!
I LOVE the teacup in your picture above!! Do you enjoy tea??

I can't wait for Season 2, either!!! I know about Queen Victoria's life from reading about her, but it's fascinating seeing it portrayed by such wonderful actors!! And the dresses are fabulous!!!

Thank you for visiting with me!!

Your pizza looks delicious! Don't you just love it when you perfect one of your favorites? I'm LMBO at your vacuum lines. I recently got a new vacuum too and will vacuum just to see the lines. Have a GREAT week.

Hi there! Visiting from Happy Homemaker Monday :) So nice to meet you! Your pizza does look delicious and you're the second person on this linkup to mention Victoria so that seems like something I really do need to look into that! My kiddos are big Andy fans too! Seems like we would have a lot in common :) So nice to meet you!

Mrs. U said...

Hi Tammy!!!!
It's sooooooo nice to "meet" someone else who understands my love of vacuum lines!!!!!! My children laugh at me when I tell them not to walk in a room for a while so I can enjoy the lines- BUT I AM SERIOUS!! Thanks for understanding!!!

And thank you for visiting!

Mrs. U said...

Oh Stacy! YES YES YES watch Victoria!! If you've read anything about her before, I'm sure you love her. Then add in the love of the English that so many of us Americans have and WOOHOOOO for Victoria!!!

YAY for Andy!!! Wishing we had a Mayberry to live in!
