Happy Homemaker Monday

                                                 


    Happy Monday friends! 

  I'm actually very excited about blog things today.  Last week I finally got back into blogging.  This past week has been insanely busy, but I did manage to do a thing and I'm so excited!  I found an older blog that I had started back in 2021 when we began our decluttering journey!!!  I have been working this week to try and get it up and running, and here it is!  I'm so happy, I thought when I 'burned it to the ground' I would lose all of my past blog entries, and I did lose quite a few, but I'm so happy to have these back!  Sorry if you followed, you will have to refollow as I did have to move them to a new space, but thank you for refollowing, when you start over its really hard but its encouraging to have some to visit and encourage!  I'm so so so very glad you're here!

   We are almost into the "Ber" months, my favorite!  I'm so ready for cooler temperatures!  Today is my 'get it together' day where I have to get everything for school in order so we can start this week.  It's strange that its only my boys and me now.  My girl started college this week and she loves it so very much.  She's had a very busy week but she's very certain that she's doing exactly what she wants to do with the rest of her life.  I'm so happy for her!  So now its just me with my 8th and 11th grader this year.  I am so thankful to homeschool them though, it'll be a good year!

So without further Ado lets jump in, thanks to all who visited last week, I'm so so so happy to be here!

Linking up today with Sandra and Holly!  Happy Monday!


 

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
We are FINALLY below 90.  I'm so very thankful for that! My boys are cleaning and planning on a pool day since its just so darn hot.  I'm so ready for it to drop into the 70s, to open windows and feel the cool air- it'll be a dream!  I refuse to decorate for fall with it this hot outside, I don't even care what month it is lol.

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
  It's pretty, but I know its hot already.  My rose garden out front is still blooming.  I actually planted some rose bushes naer my "Barn" where I had previously put my lillies.  It is looking nice but I can't wait for them to grow, they will be beautiful!


♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Typing this post, getting ready to dive head first into school prep!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
  How exciting is it when fall is coming? I think its my favorite time of year.  Also, reading some of my old blogs about our decluttering journey has me inspired.  I want to do that again...  I wonder if I could find the time?

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
I have a slight headache, not sure what that is all about.  Other than that my mood is upbeat and I'm happy to start school planning.  I really do love homeschooling, and routine.  

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Black t and gray sweatpants.  Its not cool enough for sweatpants but I'm wearing them anyway lol. 

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥
  I'm reading Seeking Persephone.  I love it!

♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥
Just movies for now, I started Sullivans Crossing and I've been watching that on my tablet while walking in the mornings, and I really like it!

♥♥ On the menu ♥♥

Monday - BBQ Ribs
Tuesday - Slow cooker cube steak with gravy
Wednesday - Deer roast
Thursday - Enchiladas
Friday - Hot dogs at Sawyer's football game

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
I decided today I need to mop badly.  I rely heavily on my steam mop and my bravaa jet mop.  But occasionally I need to get out my O'Cedar and put some elbow grease into it.  I need to do some deep cleaning for sure.  I can't wait to open our windows.  

♥♥ From the camera ♥♥
   Stephen and I resumed our married couples meeting this past Saturday.  We had a great turnout, and everyone had so much fun!  We are doing it bi-monthly now so hopefully that will be a little less going on.  Our church is VERY busy and we always have things going on, but I think this ministry is so important!

 
A funny joke- we wrote "Couple Intensive Therapy" to make them laugh.  With (almost) Dr. Duncan lol.  He's about a year away from having his Doctorate in Ministry.  I'm really proud of him!

Fun and games!

I miss the beach.... and I love these people


♥♥ Devotional ♥♥
I want to write an entire blog post on this!
