# 8 - Happy Homemaker Monday

HHM-new one

My Monday is coming to an end.  But I wanted to share it with you all.

Thanks to Sandra at “Diary of a Stay at Home Mom” who plays host.  Make sure to visit.

The weather in my neck of the woods: It was hot again today. And now it’s raining and it will be hot again after the rain!  But the good thing about the rain – all will be clean and clear tomorrow. 

One of my simple pleasures: weekends with nothing scheduled.

On my bedside table: Magazine and other stuff. (I’m looking for some ideas)

On my TV: TV is off.

On the menu for tonight:   Spaghetti with Sautéed Chicken and Grape Tomatoes.

the picture is from my Prevention magazine, from the Flat Belly Diet!!

I forgot to take a picture of my dinner plate last week.  It didn’t look as good as this picture but it tasted every bit how I imagined it to be – delicious!!

In the craft basket: Nothing.  I’m running out of time though for Halloween costumes.  I refuse to buy them so I’m going to have to think of something soon.

Looking forward to: Attending a MOPS (Mother’s of Preschoolers) meeting tomorrow.  A friend and I found a group here in Bangkok so we’re giving it a go.  I use to be part of a group back in the US and I loved the ministry.  Very practical.

I’m also looking forward to term break and a view like this…

Homemaking Tip for this week: To bob and weave your way through the grocery store.  Especially if you have a list just work your way through to the aisles you need to be.  Don’t shop aisle by aisle.

I tried this and it works.  No unnecessary stuff!! ( like the M&M’s …. hehehe, they always manage to get in the basket somehow!!)

Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):   All the Corner View bloggers.  It is such a cool way to travel the world.

Favorite photos from last week:

Instead of ice cream we decided to do yoghurt with whatever topping tickled your taste buds. 

Lesson learned the past few days:   My children do not have to be friends with my friends children.  Of course it’s great when that happens, but if it doesn’t as a parent I need to be sensitive about that.

On my Prayer List:

  • family and friends.
  • Bible study group and lesson.
  • Upcoming school holiday

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

This bible verse:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

And this inspirational quote:

“We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails”.

Dolly  Parton

Happy Week Everyone!
