happy homemaker monday – 07/07/2014

7 July 2014 by Naomi 4 Comments

Happy Monday! 🙂

I’m back again to link up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. As I have managed to go a week without blogging again… One of these days I’ll get myself organised into a good routine of posting! So here is the outlook for our week ahead…

As I look outside my window::

Cloudy blue skies and sunshine, but judging by the plants in my front garden it is pretty windy out there… but then it is aways pretty windy where we live! Warm enough for me though 🙂

Right now I am::

Sitting on the sofa typing this post up, letting Emma enjoy her bit of tv for the day (she wanted to watch Ice Age 3).

Thinking and Pondering::

About the things I need to try and get done before Vince leaves for work at lunch time… what we are going to have for lunch… what Emma’s afternoon craft activity will be today…

On my bedside table::

My bible, glasses, phone charger and a box of tissues.

On my TV this week::

Erm… not much actually. Vince and I are catching up with Arrow sporadically on the laptop but that is about it.

Listening to::

Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros, Hillsong United, Nursery Rhymes (lol)

On the menu this week::

Monday – Tuna Pasta Bake
Tuesday – Chicken & Mushroom Pie w/ Spinach Salad
Wednesday – Couscous with Prawns and Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables
Thursday – Stir Fry
Friday – Plaice, Quinoa, Veg
Saturday – Mini Roast
Sunday – Church BBQ

On my to do list today::

Quiet Time
Laundry
Washing Up
Post some birthday cards
Crochet
Animal themed craft with Emma

Happening this week::

Tues – Family walk and picnic in the country (weather permitting)
Weds – Our last Christianity Explored meeting (it was postponed 2 weeks ago due to illness)
Thurs – Mum’s Bible study group (I hope but chickenpox is going around so it’s all a bit up in the air)
Sun – Church BBQ

A nice quiet week really 🙂

What I am creating::

Ignoring all unfinished projects I am midway through crocheting something new… but it is a surprise so I will share when it is complete and revealed 🙂

My simple pleasure::

A good cup of Earl Grey tea with milk and honey… preferably made by the hubs 🙂

Looking around the house::

Well… it all needs a bit of a pick up… there just seems to be toys – or bits of toys – everywhere at the moment. A good sort out is needed, will probably be added to todays list of things to be done.

From the camera::

Bible verse, Devotional::

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8-9 NIV

happy homemaker monday – 23/06/14

23 June 2014 by Naomi 2 Comments

Good Morning!

It has been ages since I last did one of these posts and linked up with Sandra! But this morning I am feeling the need to get various thoughts and lists out of my head – and as they are mainly all of a homemaking theme this seemed the obvious place to share… I am sure you are all barely containing your excitement to see what I have lined up for the week ahead! HA! 🙂

As I look outside my window::

It is bright blue skies and sunshine out there today. I haven’t checked the forecast this morning but I should think it will be in the lower 20s today. Wonderful, especially as Wimbledon starts this afternoon! It is the only sporting event I have any interest in at all 🙂

Right now I am::

Sitting on the sofa typing up this post and drinking my second cup of tea.

Thinking and pondering::

Whether or not I will ever coax Emma into some clothes today, that I need to go and prep Vince’s lunch so he can take it with him to work shortly, that I need to go and hang the laundry out.

On my bedside table::

My Bible and phone charger.

On my TV this week::

Wimbledon…. and undoubtedly kids programmes at various points.

Listening to::

Hillsong United & Bethel Music when I’m in the kitchen.

On the menu this week::

Monday – Spaghetti Bolognese, Salad
Tuesday – Pork & Pineapple Curry, Couscous, Salad
Wednesday – Tuna Pasta Salad
Thursday – Loaded Lasagne
Friday – Leftovers / Clean the fridge out night
Saturday – *Grocery delivery*
Sunday – ??

On my to do list today::

Hang laundry out
Wash another load
Sort out and tidy the dining room (aka. this weeks dumping ground)
Quiet Time
Usual daily chores
Some sort of Tennis themed activity with Emma (lol!)

Happening this week::

Today – Vince is on a long day (13hrs)
Tuesday – we have friends visiting and staying for dinner
Wednesday – Emma has a little friend coming to play in the morning, we have our last Christianity Explored meeting in the evening
Thursday – Mums Bible Study Group in the morning, in the evening some ladies from church and I are finally starting a crochet/knitting group! – Ridiculously pleased about this!
Friday – Sleep?? HA!
Saturday – Vince is having a breakfast man-date with a friend, so us wives will have our own breakfast date with our little girls 🙂

What I am creating::

Ugh. I’ve done it agin. I have too many things on the go and nothing is getting finished. Crochet – I have started a cushion cover, a Totoro toy for Emma, and my poor poor neglected mood blanket. Sewing – A set of quilted placemats that need finishing off. I am trying to fight off the urge to start around 3 other projects until I have finished at least one of those… I think I may have a problem…

My simple pleasure::

Crochet…. always lol.

Looking around the house::

I need to clean my hob… yikes. The front room could do with a little picking up but nothing too terrible. Oh and Emma is still is not dressed… Oh and I need to go water my geraniums 🙂

From the camera::

rye-reserve

Bible verse, Devotional::

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. Psalm 127:3-5 NIV

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Ours seems to have flown by… in a way I feel like our weekend really starts tomorrow because of Vince’s shift pattern. So I’m pretending it’s really Friday 🙂

But it is time for another HHM post, linking up with the lovely Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
