Happy Monday everyone! It’s been a day but it’s been a fun day for me. Hubby create a new workspace in my craft room. so I took today after my morning routine to set everything up.

♥♥The Weather♥♥ 

Today was another crazy snowy day here in upstate NY. We had a number of hours this afternoon that we didn’t see a snow plow for hours and we couldn’t see our road for even longer. It has been a fairly snowy year for us – more so that years in recent past

Monday – 28 and SNOWY
Tuesday –  36 with more snow
Wednesday – 47 SAY WHAT?? HEAT WAVE!!! (Rain)
Thursday –  29 (nevermind)
Friday – 35 it says we can expect a visit from a mysterious glowing orb in the sky!
Saturday –  40 and rain
Sunday –  44 partly sunny

With getting so little sun most of the winter it is so exciting when it shows up even briefly

Happy Homemaker Monday- 2-15-2021

Good morning everyone (evening by the time you read this!) and a happy Monday. Last week was such a SLOW week for me. Apparently I have been fighting an infection that really didn’t hold many symptoms for me. I just kept getting more and more tired. All of this led for more tests and doctor’s teemed calls and now I’m over half done with my third round of antibiotics in way too short of a time span. I feel way less sluggish today so hopefully that’s a good sign

Let’s get into this weeks post!

♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥

Exhausted. And a tad discouraged finding it hard to get motivated

♥♥On my mind♥♥ 

   Learning- Sometimes the learning process exhausting. Being a responsible learner means you have to apply what you are learning. Sometimes when you are learning a lot all at once can make you feel like you aren’t applying what you learn responsibly. Do you follow?

 ♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥

Cold pizza. It was a rushed morning . And I just grabbed what was in the fridge

♥♥Something I want to share♥♥

This year I have taken on bullet journaling for both my blog and reading. It gives me exactly what need because I choose what gets added and what doesn’t.

♥♥Devotional, inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse♥♥ 

Today I was reading in James 5 an answer to prayer happened. I always think its amazing how when You ask God to give you wisdom and insight in growing in your faith . This was no different I have been on a journey of becoming a better pray-er and this chapter had some great insight for me!
