Happy Homemaker Monday ~ March 3, 2025

Joining with Sandra @

Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

The weather....  Sunny and 55°

Right now I am.... Writing blog posts and visiting commenters' blogs. 

Thinking....  of ways to make myself more focused and calm.

On my reading pile.... The focus this week will be Bible, Anne of Green Gables, and my Western Heritage Reader for my free Hillsdale college online class. 

On my TV.... My husband likes The Voice. I watch it with him for together time while I knit socks.

Favorite blog post last week.... Monday Morning Coffee

Something fun to share.... I put a book for my grandson in my Amazon cart. 


On the menu for this week.... I'm still doing off the cuff meals to use up what we have in the freezer and cupboards.

On my to do list.... Laundry, cleaning, oncologist appointment for a check up


In the craft basket.... I've always got socks on the needles! I'm also doing a bit of mending and sewing project bags. 

Looking forward to this week.... Knitting with friends on Friday

Looking around the house.... Messy. I've got some cleaning and organizing to do. 

From the camera.... I've been using up odds and ends of thread. I love it when people give me fabric, yarn, and thread they no longer need! It's truly a blessing! When it's sock yarn? All the better!


On my prayer list.... The peace of Jerusalem. Salvation for prodigals. 

Bible verse, Devotional....


Have a great week!
Laura

  3. Hello dear Laura!
    Love catching up with you. I love the Anne of G.G.'s books and can read them over & over again. That book for your grandson looks adorable. I'm so jealous of those that can knit. I'm finally sort of teaching myself crochet. I'm reading a Debbie Macomber book right now called "A Good Yarn" and think you'd love it. Blessings on your week ahead. xoxo

    Blessings and hugs,

      Thank you so much for writing to me. Believe it or not comma I have never read the other books. Are they as delightful as Anne of Gables? My daughter's middle name is Anne with an e.

  8. Enjoyed your post. My husband and I watch The Voice together as well though I usually lose interest once they've picked the teams. Hope you have a wonderful week!

      I agree about losing interest after picking teams. I think the team competition are sad.
