Happy Homemaker Monday – December 28, 2015

December 28, 2015 by Debbie 4 Comments

Happy Monday!  How was everyone’s Christmas?  We had a quiet, relaxed Christmas spent with family.  I had a bad headache during Christmas Day, so I wasn’t up to doing as much as I normally would.  I’m feeling much better now and have plans to enjoy this last week of holidays with the girls.

Breakfast time … what is on the plate this morning:

Waffles and tea.

On today’s to do list:

  • Laundry
  • Inventory pantry / freezer
  • Write grocery list
  • Grocery shopping
  • Play games with the family
  • Watch Miracle on 34th Street
  • Celebrate my husband’s birthday

Currently reading:

Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Imperative by Eric Van Lustbader (one of my Christmas gifts)

The weather outside is:

Snowy.  It snowed last night and is still lightly snowing.  It’s about -6C.  It looks pretty outside, but the roads are slippy today.

On the menu this week:

  • Monday: Dinner out (husband’s birthday celebration)
  • Tuesday: Maple salmon with rice, asparagus, peas and corn
  • Wednesday: Shepherd’s Pie
  • Thursday: Chinese takeout (to celebrate New Year’s Eve)
  • Friday: Roast lamb with roast potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower, cheese sauce, mint sauce and gravy
  • Saturday: Dinner out (girls’ treat downtown)
  • Sunday: Leftovers or spaghetti bolognese with salad

Looking forward to this week:

Taking the girls to visit downtown on Saturday.

My favorite blog post this week:

How To Use Mittens As A Door Decoration @ Crafts A La Mode

Favorite photo from the camera:
