Happy Monday! I hope you had a restful or productive weekend, depending on what your personal goals were for the time. Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been working on around my home and my goals for this week. Alternatives to FoodSaver Vacuum Bags We have had a FoodSaver vacuum sealer similar to this …

Happy Monday! It’s a gorgeous first day of June morning here. Deliciously cool (in the 40s) and blue skies. I mentioned last week that we have been doing little things to make home more enjoyable. Since we work at home and home educate, we’re home a lot. As such, the past few years we’ve focused …

Happy Monday evening! I hope you had a lovely Memorial Day weekend whether it was at home or somewhere else. We were at home all weekend. (Shocking, I know, since our state is still locked down until June 12.) We made the most of it and took care of many projects around the house. We’ve …

Happy Monday! As we do each day, David and I were watching the local weather during breakfast when the meteorologist said something about the coming Memorial Day weekend. I was like, “What? This weekend is Memorial Day?!?!?!?” I feel like I have lost all track of time. I see the date each day as I …

Happy Monday evening! Yes, it’s an evening edition of this week’s cozy homemaking weekly goals. Today is It’s a Girl Day, the day we celebrate each year discovering via ultrasound that God was giving us the desire of our hearts – a daughter –  after many years of asking. Caroline gets to choose a small …

Welcome to the official Half a Year Anniversary of Cozy Homemaking Weekly Goals! I’d like to go back and look at what I’ve written in the previous ones, especially in the beginning which seems a very long time ago now. I don’t know what you will remember when you look back on this time of …

Happy Monday! It’s a pretty morning here in Cute Little Town. The skies are clear blue, the birds are gabbing, and the bunnies are hopping around the back yard as they look for fresh greens. I’m ready to start my week with a focus on making the most of what I can do and only …

Happy Monday! I’m writing this morning from my new home office. I say “new” because I’m in here all by myself. David and I have shared an office since the summer I was pregnant with Caroline. At that time in our previous home, David’s office became her bedroom and we’ve shared a small bedroom as …

It’s a pretty early April morning here today after a very nice spring Sunday. We were able to able to purchase my spring pansies online and do a drive up pick-up last Thursday so at least that part of our life is normal. I may have missed my college basketball tournament this year, but the …

Happy Monday evening! Usually I post these on Monday morning or even Sunday, but today was filled with other responsibilities and goals so it got pushed down the to do list a bit. We’re still adjusting to the new coronavirus normal around here. I think we’ve just about settled in now that we’re in the …

So we all made it through the first official week of adjusting to the new coronavirus world. Last week was so surreal in some ways I never even updated my weekly checklist in my planner which I do religiously each week. Nothing. I had a few things to work on and that was what I …

Happy Monday! This post was supposed to go up on Sunday, but I was simply not able to focus this weekend to sit down and write much. I had so much nervous energy that I spent most of my weekend cleaning and organizing. Usually I add some chit chat to the weekly homemaking goals post, …

Happy Sunday! I’m moving this cozy home weekly post to Sundays because I’m also moving my newsletter to go out on Sunday afternoon or evening. For people who like to organize their week on Sunday, they will have it then. For people who take a break from email on Sunday, the newsletter will be waiting …

Happy March! The sun is shining and I’m ready to jump into another week of creating a home filled with peace, understanding, joy, beauty, and faith for my family. I won’t do it perfectly, but I’ll do my best and that’s all any of us can do. Related to homemaking, I updated all of my …

Happy Monday! We just had a glorious three days in a row of 100% sunshine. I knew it had been a long time since that had happened, but even I was shocked when the meteorologist confirmed this morning that the last time was May 2014. Wow. If you aren’t familiar with where I live (West …

Happy Monday! I hope you have a good weekend. I spent quite a bit of time working on my basement cleanout project and made some great progress. I decided in order to simplify my life, I’m not going to do a separate Friday update post each week. So I’ll just post a new one on …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We had a lovely, snowy weekend. We’ve had very few days of pretty snowfall all day this winter. Yesterday was one of them and we thoroughly enjoyed it. So it’s time to jump into the week with all its possibilities and make a list of small …
