Happy Homemaker Monday



I found this new meme and I am trying it out, probably just to hang around Sandra's blog Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. If it fits in with the other things I do each week I will definitely do it again.

On my bedside table:
Nothing at the moment, but the library gets its books today.

On my TV:
Super Nanny USA

On the menu for tonight:
Tomato & Chipolata Hotpot

On my To Do List:
Ordering my Christmas hampers, I have been working on it, just need to finalise and call them to order. With the extra money needed to fix my car, I guess I don't want to spend money. We use the food hampers at Christmas time to cut down expenses. They are Chrisco, Castle and Hamper King.

New Recipe I tried last week:
Chili Con Carne with Vegetables it was lovely.

In the craft basket:
Nothing, but I did find the instructions I saved years ago to make hexagonal patchwork.

Looking forward to:
Having more of our new-to-us house finished, we are renovating it from the point of view that it has faults that need fixing. Gaps in walls, gaps around walls.

Homemaking Tip for this week:
I checked through all the plants in the display outside our grocery store in town that I only go to occasionally. Right at the bottom I found the lavender in the punnets. They are like flats? There were six in the punnet, rather than one in a pot. I suppose, don't suppose you know what is there until you look.

Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I think I liked Little Jenny Wren's post in relation to her link to the 1950s menu. I haven't read it all yet, but think it is great. Jenny plans to do something similar I think.

Favorite photo from last week:



Lesson learned the past few days:
I did something silly that really normally I would know not to do. I lay on a flat freezer cooler thingo and it burst. Am I getting like kids in the modern age? Or just tired or hassled?

On my Prayer List:
My step-brother's partner had a hard week, and my Mum's childhood friend's husband died.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
This morning I started to read a sermon based on 1 Peter 3:8-12 from a Presbyterian site.
