Busy Monday- My Happy Home

 Welcome to a new week.  I have a busy week planned.  Do you? 

My days are busy with several dog walks.  And helping the Cowboy and making our Home Happy. 

Some days it's happier than others! 

Mostly because sometimes I am a bit grumpy.   

Some days a little before noon I look back and notice what all I have already done that day.  I wipe my brow.  Bite my lip and look for Sparkle!  

This greeting was perfect for today 

Prompts for today 

The weather it was really cloudy when I got up and took the dogs out.  But now the sun is shining.  I love my living room window. 

 It is 77 now and should get to 81 today. 

Breakfast plate plans last night I cooked the Skirt Steak in the Air Fryer with the Peppers.  They were so good.  I am going to cook some this morning with Mushrooms then add them to an Omelet. 

Dinner last night 

All cooked in the Air Fryer!  The Skirt Steak was perfect.  I was afraid it would be tough and chewy but it was great! 

On my To Do List Today

Bake.  One Cookie jar is empty!  I already set out some Butter so as soon as I finish this post I will choose a recipe. 

Then I will play with paper and glue a bit.  Then clean up my mess.  I have to take everything in and out of the closet. 

I plan to crochet some too.  I think the next pattern section comes out this week or maybe next week. 

My/Our Ta Da Moment 

On Saturday we had a mini date at The Spot.  

We had a snack of Onion Rings and drinks. 

One of my favorite things 

Looking up from typing and seeing the dogs curled up snoozing.  

They always want to be where I am. 

I am creating 

I am working  on the 2019 Crochet Blanket.

I am adding the new stitches from this year.  It is easier than looking up the old pattern and finding where I left off.  

This is the one from 2019 I am adding rows. 

This year I am doing this one

The pattern comes in monthly installments and usually has three rows  to add on each month 

 

I am using the yarn scraps I had purchased for the 2019  blanket I showed above. 

This is the first 3 sections completed and ready for the next section. 

In the kitchen I have already mentioned this.   We bought an Air Fryer.  Stumbled on to it at the H.E.B. Grocery Store when we went off island last week.  We were talking about getting one.  This one was only $25.00 on sale with a coupon.  

A household tip  

LOL  Buy an Air Fryer.  It is a game changer!  It really is!   I cooked our entire meal in it last night.  I did have to keep the Potatoes and Veggies warm in the oven while the Steak cooked. 

Isn't She pretty?  I love the color! 

But once you put all the ingredients in you basically can just leave it to cook.  I did stir the veggies once. 

Everything cooked perfectly! 

The Menu I plan my menu and post on Saturday but alot of times it changes by Monday!

A moment from my day  

The last couple of mornings our Landlord has been out with his dog cleaning the property.  My girls are loving playing with him in the yard. 

They can't go next door to play for awhile.  They have 13 baby chicks.  One of the hens decided to have a family! 

Scripture/Devo  

That's my Busy plans for the day and week!  

I plan to make every moment sparkle. 

I hope you have a Sparkly Day!
