Happy Homemaker In Texas

 Good Morning

I hope you are enjoying my new daily Good Morning feature.

And now . . . 

It's time for  my regular feature 


It's a party over at Sandra's she provides the prompts . . .


The weather . . . 

Brr.  It really is winter now.  I know many of you will think I am whimp.  But to us it's cold.

Most days low around 38 and warming to low to mid 50's. 

Cloudy and rainy.  A few days the sun comes out and teases us.

What I am wearing . . . 

I usually put on leggings and a t-shirt because I am just staying around the house.  I add socks and fleece pants to take the dogs out several times a day.  It is cold for them too.  They do thier business lickety split and are ready to come back in. 

On the breakfast plate . . .

The Cowboy hasn't had Chorizo lately.  I will probably offer that with Eggs and Tortillas.

Or I might offer DoNuts I need to go out to the post office.  I like to do my errands early in the day.

On the To Do List . . . 

Post Office (at the hardware store)

Buy potting soil and look for seeds 

Dollar Tree never made it last week 

Change the Hot Chocolate station and use Snowman Winter mugs 

Change bedding to Winter I have never done this before but I have a really pretty throw I found at my MaMa's and I want to use it.  It will make a cute setting for a January  baby picture. 

Did I put clean refrigerator on last weeks list? 

Clean all the mirrors and glass shelves.  I have been out of Vinegar because I can't find it at Kroger or Dollar Tree 

Sweep, Vacuum and Mop we track in lots of dirt 

Clean front porch and spray weed killer in sidewalk and driveway cracks

My Ta Da' moment . . .

Gosh I don't think I have one it was a super busy week.  I should call it my Un Ta Da' Moment.  I missed posting a few days.  I got up on Friday thinking it was Thursday.  Whew.

Something fun to share . . .

Going on a road trip again.  This time I am off to Arkansas to feature this book 


I have lots of fun posts planned for here and at My Reading Journeys.  

Something sweet to share
I received the sweetest book in the mail . . . 
The book is a lovely hardcover with a sweet story.
What was even sweeter was the author signed it for the tour . . .
I am not doing alot of sponsored  book tours anymore since I am doing my own but when a Children's book comes along and a print copy is offered I jump on so I can build our Family Library.

In the studio/craft basket
Finishing up a Junk Journal page for a SWAP . . .

I had 2 partners for this SWAP.  I finished the 1st one and wrote about it over Here

Homemaking tip . . . 
This might sound silly but I try to sweep my kitchen floor in the morning before I do anything else . . . Well after the dogs go out.  
I find that if I don't when I think about it the floor has wet spots from filling ice trays or the dogs bowl.  I don't want to mop an unswept floor so I usually wait.  And then  it ends up lunch time and more mess and then dinner.  And I didn't get it swept.
So I sweep before anything else as in before my Dr. Pepper.
Now if I was super energetic I would sweep again at bedtime but.  Nah.
 

From the camera . . . 
It was pretty waaaay back in 2014. This picture brings back lots of bittersweet memories. 

Scripture/Devo . . 
Have a Sparkly Day
