HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 12 of 2018

Have I mentioned I am NOT a fan of Daylight Savings Time? I HATE that it seems like the middle of the night at 7AM!  I especially am not fond of it here as it seems to bring on the warmer weather and high humidity.  Oh well, just a couple more months here.  We’re 90% packed and waiting on the house.  We are especially looking forward to having some “down” time to rest and recuperate, getting my strength and toning back before we move forward with our next and last project.

Be sure to link up with
Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday

and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

Looks like it might be threatening to thunderstorm, but still to dark to really know for sure.  It’s supposed to be right around 80 all week with a little higher humidity, but still more tolerable than July!

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE

Green Tea and Protein drink

ON MY MIND / THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY

  • I took another load for donation.  It is making me extremely happy to be minimizing life so much!

INSPIRATION

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE / WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS

  • LAUNDRY…just a load of towels as I did a deep dive over the weekend while packing and sorting
  • LIVING AREAS… really clean after the weekend
  • KITCHEN… pretty clean – I’m still cleaning the pantry though as I am cooking primarily from the freezer and pantry trying to dwindle down stock in hopes of a quick and easy sale of the house
  • STUDIO… is mainly storage these days
  • YARD… just a little watering of the new things I planted to spruce up some barrels and pots for the house sale – my new Gardenias are starting to bloom and the lantanas gave me a surprise with a lavender and yellow mix – so pretty together – this also doubles as my FAVORITE PHOTO from the CAMERA
  • BLOG… still doing some recipe updating, future post planning and even some holiday post planning

I’m not a fan of daylight savings time, either. I wish they’d just drop it and be done with it. Pretty flowers and love the picture of the Easter eggs. They’re beautiful! Have a great week ahead and Happy Spring! <3

I’m with you with the daylight savings making it so dark in the mornings! Ugh! I can’t even imagine 80 degrees right now…but totally living vicariously through your green growing things. I dream on digging in the dirt in the future!! 😉
Your latest dishes look so yummy – as always. 😉 And those tie dyed eggs turned out awesome!!
Have a blessed week ahead Tamy my Dear. xoxo
