A Happy Homemaker In Texas

Welcome to my new Saturday version of Happy Homemaker.
This week I am starting something new.  I normally write this post on Monday or Sunday night so I can link with Sandra for 
Happy Homemaker Monday. 

 

I am thinking of Valentines Day 

Are you?

Sorry sometimes I get distracted.  I wanted to start posting on Saturday because there are other topics I've been wanting to write about on Mondays.  So at least for awhile Saturday will be 
Happy Homemaker in Texas.  

Here's Sandra's prompts and a few of my own . . .

 Thinking about shopping today (Saturday) DIL birthday present.

Last week I started a series titled A Housekeepers Guide

This year I am trying to be dedicated to the blog. I've always liked doing Tips on Tuesday.

The Puppy Pages

And a new idea.  I want to write more about the joys of owning a dog.  I got Domino the end of September.  She has brought so much joy to our life.  She's also reminded us about what it's like to have a puppy!
