HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 3 of 2021

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


I hope your first week of 2021 was a good one despite the obvious things going on in the world and our own backyard! Personally, I’m still in shock over last week’s events and choose to pray that things will settle down soon!

On the positive side, I’m making a few “little” updates here on the blog to freshen things up I hope.


It’s been gray cloudy and foggy A LOT lately. Last Friday was finally supposed to be gorgeous and yet we spent the day with weird storms moving in and out with intermittent heavy rain so I’m not putting a lot of stock in the weatherman this week. 

As of now today is supposed to be cloudy after the fog burns off, but dry and then we’re supposed to get 2 inches of rain Tuesday and Wednesday. Either way, highs are supposed to be in the high 40’s/low50’s with lows in the 30’s and 40’s, gray, cloudy and intermittently wet. 😀

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING & PROJECTS
  • Just a load of sheets/towels and one of jeans and socks
  • Finish painting first coat of paint on bathrooms and start the second coat
  • Finish installing and leveling new subfloor in back bathroom – the new flooring has been delayed until the 16th, but you just never know these days with shipping.
  • Finish removing old shower stickers and adhesive
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS
  • I’m starting a new delivery service for 3 recipes a week so need very little at the grocery store and only have 2 errands so will be home most of the week.
  • Hubby does have a doctor appointment Monday afternoon and we’ll pick up our favorite pizza for dinner.
  • PAPERWORK & PHONE CALLS I have a couple letters that need written and a couple phone calls I’m hoping for a live person to help with.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING We’ll see how the delivery service goes, but I’m afraid like so many others we’ve tried before, the recipes will begin to repeat all too soon and I’ll be back to full recipe planning.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • NETFLIX There are a couple movies that were supposed to go to theaters that will be released that we’ll try to catch.
  • PRIME There are a couple movies that were supposed to go to theaters that will be released that we’ll try to catch.
  • DISNEY+ I’ve been playing with this during the day and watching Evermoor and Evermoor Chronicles
  • HULU We’ve been watching the OLD ODD COUPLE with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman at night.
  • CABLE A few of our favorite shows are back for a new season and I have a couple movies taped to watch. Blue Bloods, Magnum, Macgyver, L&O SVU, Chicago series, Young Sheldon…


This week I’m reading SINS by Nadia Lee. It had good reviews on Amazon, but I’m having trouble really getting into it.


Hubby cleaned up the old sub floor and then painted it to seal the previously wet areas before starting the new sub floor. Every time hubby and I work on a house, we leave our mark and we try to surprise each other to bring each other a smile. 

I couldn’t resist that blank slate of new paint. 😀 Here’s our latest work on the sub floor. And it doesn’t matter that it will be covered by the new sub floor because we’ll know it’s there! 😀

Playing serious catch up! Lol
Love how the blog is looking my Lovely. And I love how you and your hubby love each other. The self care is spot on! Ok, I knew nothing about that spot. How could that info not be out there before now! Lol Catch you again soon this week. Blessings.

Sandra

I love your floor, that is just the cutest thing ever.

Well guess I’ll be cleaning my oven door this week lol Thank you for the tip my friend.

I hope you have a blessed week
xoxoxo

I don’t have that kind of oven but never knew about that slot!
A delivery service for recipes? they are starting around here too, I might try it at some point since we are only two now.
My kids did draw on the basement floor before dh installed the real floor, will be nice to see their drawings when we pull it out… whenever that will be.
Have a great week

The kid ones are the best to find! 😀 Memories! We did find a 1940’s newspaper ad once under a stair tread in an old Victorian house we were doing and the walls were stuffed with crumpled 1940’s Russian newspapers which were a common insulating technique of the times.

This time around I’m trying Marley Spoon, but have used Hello Fresh, Blue Apron and one other before. They were good, but began to be repetitious so we’ll see how Marley Spoon does, being Martha Stewart I have higher hopes.

Jean

I love the floor art, so fun! Huh, I didn’t realize you could clean that part? Guess I’ll have to take a closer look at our oven now. Hope you have a wonderful week!

QuiltLady

I hope you have a GREAT week too. I never knew either until a couple years ago – I obviously never read the book on my new oven 😀

Martha

The floor is so cute! I had no idea about the oven door cleaning slot. I have always wondered how it gets dirty in there thinking that it was all sealed lol. I guess I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon.
