Happy Homemaker Jan.2,2023

Welcome to the first edition of Happy Homemaker Monday for 2023. If you are not a part of this, join Sandra at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom.


The Weather...

                 It is foggy this morning with many advisories out for driving. It is unseasonably warm and we may break temperature records tomorrow with the high to be 65 degrees F. Extremely warm here with a chance for thunder tomorrow and a chance for snow flurries or a wintery mix on Thursday due to a cold front moving through. It is true that if you don't like the weather in Indiana, just stay a few hours and it will change. 


Right Now I Am...

                 Sitting at the computer desk writing this as my granddoll is still asleep. I am listening to gospel music and enjoying the quiet. 


Thinking....

               I am thinking about the plans for the day. I am also thinking about the work that I need to get accomplished today. 


On My Reading List...

               Quilted Christmas by Ann Hazelwood. This is the final book in Ann's Colebridge Community series. I have not read the rest of the series and that may be why I am struggling to read this. I just find that the story does not seem to capture my attention as I had hoped it would. Maybe by next week you  will know if I have given up or if I have finished the story. 


On My TV...

              Right now, I am listening to music on the TV. Blessed Assurance is the song and The Isaacs are singing it. I know many people would rather listen to contemporary Gospel, but there is a lot of worth to the old hymns that many of us grew up on. "Praising my Savior all the day long.."


Something Fun To Share...

           There really isn't much to say about this. I just found it funny!



On The Menu...

             I truly have not given it much thought. I have some chicken that I need to use this week. My husband asked for a pork chop and stuffing recipe that I used to make often so that may be on there as well. I guess that needs to be added to my weekly list of things to do. 


My To Do List...

              1. Bible Study -* Completed

              2. Wipe Down Kitchen Counters - * Completed

              3. Happy Homemaker Post -

              4. Blog 365 Post - * Scheduled

              5. Bed Sheets and Blankets Laundered -

              6. Grocery Store with Daughter -

              7. Social Media Post for Pink Zebra biz - * Completed

              8. Menu Planning -


In The Craft Basket...

            I will be starting a new Diamond Art Painting later today. I have completed two of them and I love working on them. My husband bought me 5 for Christmas. 


Looking Around...

           I am pleased that there is not much of a mess. I worked really hard to have the Christmas clutter cleaned up before New Years, although I still have décor up. I am pleased that the sweeping, mopping, and dusting that is usually on my Monday list was already finished yesterday. 


From My Camera...

            A picture of a photo. How cute they are!  A visit with Santa is always a good time.


On My Prayer List...

            1. My daughter and son-in-law as they travel home. 

             2. Peace


Bible Verse - Devotional 



I wish everyone the happiest of New Years and I pray that each of you will have a blessed year!

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again. I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings. They feel that they have to make it on their own to stay together. One day while walking in the woods, they discover an abandoned boxcar and decide that they will make it into their home. The children use items that the find at the local dump and in the woods to make items that they need for the home. The oldest brother does odd jobs to fe...

  New author alert!  Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream?

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
