Happy Homemaker Monday 3/4/24

Happy March!   Well, March isn't very "liony" this year.  It's been rather warm so far.  This week is a bit different as our oldest daughter is home for spring break so I'm looking forward to extra time with her.  Jumping on really quick to join in this week's Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra over at Diary of a Stay At Home Mom.  

The Weather:

It started out sunny but now is a bit cloudy.  Warmer temps today which are always welcome.

Outside my Window:

We have a lot of sparrows this morning!  Yesterday we saw the turkeys for the first time in awhile.  Mr. Tom Turkey now has four lady friends that keep him company.  It's always fun to see them wandering through the yard; and especially fun when they decide to take flight. 

Right Now I am:

Taking a minute to sit and blog before heading out with our daughter.    

Thinking and Pondering: 

So very thankful for how God works.  Also pondering a project that I feel God calling me to finish.  Praying for good time management to work on it and finish it.     
 

Podcasts I'm listening to this week:

I've been listening to David Platt's podcast; Radical.  I so appreciate his teaching.  

On my T.V this week:

Not sure, probably some period pieces as my older girls love those (Pride & Prejudice is a favorite!)

What I'm Creating:

I'm working on a stuffed kitty pillow for our youngest.  After I made the whale she's been begging me to make her a giant stuffy so last week we found a pattern and I'm using up some blanket yarn from my stash.  I'm simplifying the pattern a bit, as I didn't want to buy any yarn for this project, but so far she's thrilled.

From the Camera:

 I didn't really take any pictures last week.

Highlight from Last week:

Highlight was definitely our girl coming home for a visit.

I saw these two posts on Instagram last week and saved them as good reminders.

Kids away at college and kiddos here this school year.

Wisdom in parenting.

Direction, time & diligence for a project.

Peace & the willingness to let go of things that are not mine to carry.

Wisdom for how to deal with difficult things and to trust God with all!
