Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods:
The most beautiful day we've seen since fall! It's 47 degrees and sunny!!

One of my simple pleasures:
listening to my two year old sing

On my bedside table:
The Power of a Praying Wife
The Duggars: 20 and counting

On my TV:
Seth just bought me The Duggars: 18 kids and counting season 2....maybe we'll watch an episode or two tonight

On the menu for tonight:
Seth has meetings late tonight..so we'll probably just grab some leftovers.

On my To Do List:
work on taxes
laundry

New Recipes I tried last week:

Savory spaghetti sauce

In the craft basket:
