Dear Homemaker,

Happy Monday, one of my favorite days as a homemaker. It’s a fresh new week and time to get back to “normal” life around here. Its been over a week since my surgery and will have a check up on Wednesday. I’m starting back to the regular routine and chores. The only difference is I will not go to the gym until cleared by doctor and will not lift heavy objects.

Weather: Right now it is sunny and 78 our high is 90 degrees. The grass and flowers have loved all this rain then times of sunshine. Mr. Smith gave himself a well deserved treat this weekend and paid to have the yard done.

Outside my window: I rearranged the table of plants outside my bedroom window so it was a better view. The bird feeders were filled this weekend and we have some day lilies blooming along with the ever-growing Lantana.

On my plate: I woke up and had my pink drink, later on a coffee (pumpkin spice creamer), later still some toast and small glass of milk and my water bottle is almost done with my morning fill.

Today’s to do list: I’m back on my Motivated Moms chore list. Im also working on the blog and getting some pumpkin mug rugs to send out in the mail.

Reading and watching: Probably some more Donna Reed and I’m watching Jamestown from pbs on Amazon video. Right now im reading The Good Wife’s Guide by Darlene Schacht on my Kindle. I found a Amish fiction book at the Dollar Tree so that was a delightful surprise.

Dinner: spaghetti and green beans

Crafting: I might get back to my embroidery this week and do a few more mug rugs.

Quote of the day: We will offer cheerful obedience from our inward joy. Mother Teresa from Thirsting for God daily meditations.

Have a blessed Monday!

Humbly Yours,

Mrs. Smith
