Happy Homemaker Monday – December 16, 2013

December 16, 2013 by Debbie Leave a Comment

The weather:

A mixture this week. Mild with a high of 4C. Cold nights with a low of -21C.

Right now I am:

Enjoying the quiet. The girls are in bed and I’m having a cup of tea and a gingerbread cookie.

Thinking:

About what still needs to be done for Christmas.

On my reading pile:

Christmas cookbooks and The Bancroft Strategy by Robert Ludlum

On the menu for this week:

  • Monday – Chicken strips with peas and salad
  • Tuesday – Salmon with rice and salad
  • Wednesday – Meatloaf with mashed potatoes
  • Thursday – Spaghetti bolognese with salad
  • Friday – Dinner out
  • Saturday – Pork chops with homemade mac and cheese
  • Sunday – Roast beef and trimmings

On my to do list … today:

  • Laundry
  • Make granola bar
  • Clean my kitchen floor
  • Write grocery list
  • Ironing
  • Watch Miss C’s Christmas concert

On my to do list … this week:

  • Grocery shopping
  • House cleaning
  • Paperwork / filing
  • Wrapping gifts
  • Clean Marlin
  • Hand deliver local Christmas cards and gifts

What I am creating:

Final Christmas gifts and mince pies

Looking forward to this week:

Watching the girls’ Christmas concerts.

Looking around the house:

My kitchen needs some help! I have been doing a lot of Christmas baking and it needs a thorough clean.
