Happy Homemaker Monday


Weather in my neck of the woods...
Kind of summer like today.  80's and kind of warm for the end of September.

Things that make me happy...
Cool Temperatures! 

Book I'm reading...
Bible...I've almost read through it all in my 90 day challenge!!
Lancaster County Christmas

What I'm enjoying on TV...
Emergency! I use to watch this show so much growing up.

On the menu for dinner...
Quick and easy.  We had sandwiches today.

On my to do list...
Finish getting settled.

New Recipe I tried or want to try soon...

In the craft basket...
Trying to work on my crocheting skills.

Looking forward to this week...
Missions conference where our pastor will be speaking to the members of his former church about our church we started.

Tips and Tricks...
If you want to take the smell out of your laundry add 1-2 Tablespoons of lemon juice to the water.  My husband works around transformer oil and everything smells like it.  This does the trick.

My favorite blog post this week...
No blogs read this week

New discovered blog...
My friend and all around great person has started a blog.  Mommy Manna.

Favorite Picture...

Entrance to our new home.

Lesson learned the past few days...
We worried about our children moving from no neighbors to right in the heart of the village.  We worried about the influence of other kids.  But we have been blessed by the friendships our children have made in the 2 short weeks we have been here.  So I guess my lesson learned is to remember God is in control.  Seems like I "learn" this so often.

On my mind...
Getting our old house ready to sell.

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses...
Psalm 130:5-6
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope,
My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning-
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning."
