Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
Sunny and 18 oC, which sounds only slightly warm, but it is nice.

One of my simple pleasures:
Lying on the garden seat in the garden which I did yesterday

On my bedside table:
I will have to choose one from a library stack I have

On my TV:
Super Nanny UK
Australian Idol

On the menu for tonight:
Sausage Casserole, there is an issue with the cheese I have to straighten out

On my To Do list:
I have done a couple of jobs today, one that was a long standing problem. I need to keep going like to make a final decision on a paint colour, so it is ready to go if I need it. I saw a similar color in the doctor's waiting room today

New Recipe I tried last week:
Caramel Nut Popcorn from the packet of Riviana popcorn

In the craft basket:
Nothing

Looking forward to:
Finally having my daughter's case packed for her trip, someone mentioned officially how close it is now

Homemaking Tip for this week:
Try something homemade made with popcorn at least once (those in the US probably all have done this)

Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I'm The Amish Girl Who Loves You
Are you free to tell the truth?

Spiritual Warfare in Schools
and all those wonderful posts posted on Friday night and Saturday that I haven't read yet

Favorite photo from last week:



Sweet Baharat, Apple & Walnut Muffins (the ones we forgot to put the walnut/brown sugar & spice mix on top of)

Lesson learned the past few days:
Read the recipe properly (I usually do though)

On my Prayer List:
my step-Dad who lost something dear to him
