Happy Homemaker Monday 4.24.2017
(on a Tuesday)


Good Morning, I hope you all had a great weekend, We had a busy week and weekend so that my days seemed to blur into each other. I spent Monday morning trying to get as much done as possible before I had to have an extraction at the dentist-I knew I would be in pain, I rested the whole day afterwards. which means I missed HHM but am here to play catch up today.

Bella's Last time volunteering at our local dog rescue.(for high school NHS)

And Yesterday NHS last time at la Posada house - kids presenting them with a check.  They worked hard all year to raise this money.

(children staying at the home could obviously not be in photo but I tell you they are adorable)

                             
some of these kids received scholarships from our local college and just found out during this event that the Convocations were in about an hour!!!-including my daughter so with no time to drive back to our side of town to change then back her and another student went straight from here. She was a bit self conscious to not be dressed up but we couldn't be any prouder.


Here our a few photos on the campus...

What I am wearing today...
Today is a PJ bottom and t shirt kind of day.


One of my simple pleasures... Shopping alone.

Happy Homemaker Monday 4.17.2017


Good morning. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We had family over. We had a great time laughing, talking, eating, laughing and eating, talking and eating lol  I see a theme. I was so busy eating spending time with family, I didn't take any photos but my daughter got one of the colored eggs. I get so mad at myself when I forget to pick up the camera because usually I am so good at it. so now I don't have any of my kids dressed up, we came home from church and got right to work : (  but I have the memories in my heart. Oh Do you ever sing a song/hymn from church all week. Well I was SO happy they sang Down To The River To Pray Oh I LOVE it especially by Alison Krauss.


p.s.. hubby later smiled and said I heard you singing hee hee because I usually don't sing while walking up to receive communion but I couldn't help myself. besides God doesn't care that I cant carry a tune I imagine to his ears we all sound like angels when we are singing to him at least I hope we do.

Momma Like Food!  nuff said! lol

One of my simple pleasures... Losing count of how many times I've watched a movie like Pride & Prejudice

Good Morning! April already? I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am sorry I am so behind in blog comments and visiting you all. I did have a great weekend with my family nothing exciting, On Friday we unplugged and all sat around the kitchen table listening to music while drawing, reading, creating, etc. I love those days! When we are all just together hanging out, or out exploring the town. Bellas Auntie gave her money for her prom Dress so we did spend a few days shopping... and it left my head spinning. Thankful she finally found one.
