Happy Homemaker Monday

The boys' Independence Day outfits washed, folded and ready to go the night before.

{weather outside:}

Hot and hazy, just the way I like it! Clouds rolled in just in time for naps and they're expected to stick around for the rest of the day.

{making me happy:}

Once again, my husband made it possible for me to get some more sewing time in over the weekend and I enjoyed it so much. Since I was still stitching away when my oldest woke up from his nap, he came in and watched me work. I love that he is so fascinated by it!

{menu:}

monday: London Broil, Tossed Salad & Macaroni Salad
tuesday: Steak, Cheddar & Arugula Paninis & Sweet Potato Fries
wednesday: Macaroni & Cheese tossed with Steak & Arugula
thursday: Steak & Feta Tossed Salad & Baked Potatoes
friday: Pizza

{around my home:}

Living areas are straightened. Floors are vacuumed. Boys are sleeping. Fans are humming. Classical music is playing. Tea is brewing. As much as I love all the family time we squeeze out of every weekend, especially in the summer, there is something so peaceful about Mondays as that is when I tend to put everything back into order.

{today's to-do list:}

{looking forward to:}

{on my nightstand:}

~The Strong-Willed Child by Dr. James Dobson
~Rose Harbor in Bloom by Debbie Macomber
~On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder (with three-year-old)

{in my craft basket:}

kitchen curtains

{on my mind:}

Gratitude and prayers for our nation.

{verse:}

"Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."
-James 4:7
