Happy Homemaker Monday

On my bedside table:
I tossed two books I found in a couple of old Woman's Weekly, and now I am trying Winter Is Past, Ruth Axtell Morren.

On my TV:
Our eldest swapped some games with the kids here.

On the menu for tonight:
Pavlova. It is for Australia Day and our anniversary, next year, silver.

On my To Do List:
To write a shopping list.

New Recipe I tried last week:
Indian Beef Curry

In the craft basket:
No craft.

Looking forward to:
Cooler weather, but I haven't thought too much about it yet.

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Keep food colouring bottles inside an empty clean honey tub with handle and lid. I love this picture of these bottles that you can't buy here.

Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
What & Why - Facial Tissue at The Narrow Path. It gave me hope that I am greener than I think, even if it is sometimes by accident, or seems that way. Out of curiousity I have a poll about tissues v hankies (or fabric handkerchiefs).

Also Teen at Gillybean.

Favorite photo from last week:

Tumbarumba

Lesson learned the past few days:
It should be not to drink my tea too quickly. I think I had complained hubby leaves it lying around to stew too long, perhaps he took me at my word.

On my Prayer List:
My blogging friend Tilly has been having trouble with a chest infection. She is expecting a baby and has a little boy and an older girl. I hope you are feeling better each day Tilly.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Faith without works is dead. James 2:20 I was worried and nearly went off the deep end as this article suggests, as I hadn't heard it for awhile.
