Watching the sunrise

Lots of Jane Austen Books


On my TV:
Stargate SG1 Season 3
Legend of the Seeker Season 2
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre

New Recipe I tried last week:
The Best Enchiladas Verdes. No I mean, the BEST.ENCHILADAS.VERDES. You have to try them, they are delish.

Wrist warmers and crochet birds
Granny's Twinkle Stars


Looking forward to:
Thanksgiving - I'm watching what I eat this week otherwise I won't be able to pig out for Thanksgiving LOL


Homemaking Tip for this week:
Pour a tablespoon of salt or baking soda down the drain. Followup by pouring a kettle of boiling water. The boiling water would solve the clogging part of your problem while the salt or baking soda would remedy the foul odor coming from the drain pipes.

There you have it. Simple and no-cost way to remedy a smelly and clogged kitchen sink drain.


Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I got no blog reading done last week, shame on me.


Favorite photo from last week:

My Christmas Village




Lesson learned the past few days:
A huge one.....that your kids are just that......KIDS. They're not always going to tell you if something is wrong or if they don't feel right. Follow your instincts and if you feel that something is off, go with it, chances are, something IS.
Nicholas never complained about not seeing well and it turns out he is Farsighted, I had no idea but on a hunch I decided to take him in to the eye doctor and get him checked out, I'm glad I did.


On my Prayer List:
Family and Friends


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5
