HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 18 of 2020

GOOD MORNING everyone!  It’s Monday, isn’t it?  Truly some days I’m not really sure right now.  We have another week of staying home under our belt.  How is everyone faring?  Staying Busy?  Happy Kids?  They (those in charge) are starting to talk about opening a few things around here.  Personally, I try and avoid the news at all costs and only listen to the medical professionals.  I continue to pray that there is a breakthrough in the end allowing us to go back to more “normal” daily lives.

Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up
with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA Yesterday was ABSOLUTELY beautiful and we did the whole loop around the pond where I got a few great pictures of the BIG beaver dam, goose island where there was some loud territorial disputes going on since there is a limited beach area, new geese families, some pond wood, wild thistle, and a stray fisherman.

Wow are those pics gorgeous! Looks like summer. I bet that truly fed the soul to get out around somewhere so pretty. It’s supposed to be really nice here this weekend. Maybe I’ll need to pack up some snacks and the kiddos and take a little road trip. Just to really get out for a while.
Love the pantry chart! I discovered my baking powder was old the other day when I made pancakes that usually get nice and fluffy and they were terrible. Lol Another way to find out if your staples are too old
Have a blessed week ahead xoxo

Thank you! It was a blessing to have such a nice spring day during our rainy season. The best part is the pond is to us as the bay is to you, so no car needed 😀 That happened to me recently too with the baking powder. I recently found a brand that comes in a 1/2 can size that works so much better! Have a great week and enjoy the road trip!

Sandra

Beautiful pond photos, I am so looking forward to summer lol

All your food pics always look so yummy as well. Hope you have a blessed week my friend 🙂

Jean

Enjoyed your photos so much. Makes me want to get out to a park and walk. Maybe if it’s not too crowded… And I really appreciated seeing the shelf life manual. Interesting. Hope you have a great week!

QuiltLady

It has been a blessing to live so close to such a large and open pond area with wide accessible trails to combat the staying home issues. I thought the shelf life chart was a great find too. 😀 Have a GREAT week.
