HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 10 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 everyone had a wonderful week and that the world is treating you right. We’re on a “PAUSE” here again which means stay home, no gyms, restaurants with indoor seating, etc… because of rising COVID numbers… the sad part is that they know why the numbers rose and where from (a business, a church and a school), none of which was associated with gyms, restaurants…

We’re getting a couple “warmer” dry days before the next round of colder rain returns with deceptive numbers that make it LOOK like it’s going to be warm, but beware of the breeze and the night time lows that keep it from reaching a truly warmer temperature until an hour before the sun sets 😀 The prediction is highs in the 50’s and lows in the 30’s – reality will probably be highs in the 40’s and lows in 30’s.

Hot water, peach yogurt and apple, carrot and pineapple squeezable baby food.

THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS
  • LAUNDRY & CLEANING Definitely need to do it all this week! Just a load of sheets and towels, but need to dust and vacuum!
  • GROCERIES & ERRANDS I’ll be doing these today so I have the ingredients for hubby’s birthday dinner and cake tomorrow. I have a haircut on Wednesday and was hoping to wait until then, but it just didn’t work out so I guess I have to go to town twice this week.
  • PAPERWORK & PHONE CALLS Need to do some follow-up on a few things I’ve been waiting on and see if I can kick another couple things forward.
  • RECIPE RESEARCH & MENU PLANNING This week was a bit more inspired than last week so I hope not to lose momentum and do the rest of March this week.

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV
  • NETFLIX We’re still finishing Stargate SG1 reruns at night and also stared Kevin James new show The Crew
  • CABLE A lot of shows were reruns last week so not sure what needs to be caught up on besides Worst Cooks, Spring Baking Championship, The Resident and the new show that starts this week Debris.

I’m still finishing Nadia Lee’s Secrets from last week, but have a couple of new genres lined up for a change in my future reads – Jennifer Chiaverini’s The Spy Mistress and K.F. Breene’s Magical Midlife Madness.

I took the painting class last week for the picture I showed you last week. This is their picture.

And I am fairly happy with my results so far, I need to finish the accents 😀 since I’m still a novice.

Wonderful picture! Hope the pause doesn’t last too long for you. Hopefully, as more vaccines happen, things will improve back to normal for all of us soon. Sorry I’m a bit late visiting this week, hope the rest of it is great!

The “Pause” is 2 weeks long :D, so we have another 10 days before we can return to the new normal. Hope you’re having a GREAT week.

Sandra

Your picture is absolutely stunning, WOW!!! I can’t even do stick men without giving them a third leg, my family always laughs at me LOL

Really hope your weather starts warming up soon.

Your food, as always, looks amazing.

Have a blessed week my friend.

Darn! I hope that the shut down is short lived and numbers get better again. It’s been so nice to have numbers be better here. I do believe as the vaccine distribution grows it will get better and better. Your painting is beautiful!! And I need to try chinese 5 space…I don’t know that I’ve ever had it in anything.
I did a lot of soul sharing on my blog today. And requests for prayers, as my kiddos especially could use them. I hope you can stop by. Blessings to you dear Friend. xoxo

You did a great painting and the accents will make it seem like the original.
Here too covid numbers were not associated with gyms and restaurants. wish they would reopen.

Have a great week
