Happy Homemaker Monday: October 19, 2026

 Good morning! Gosh, I'm tired. This week, my schedule is absolute trash, as we firmly hit tuber digging season and I am spending every night this week at the farm. I'm tired, but trying not to be grouchy. 
Good luck to me, ha. 

Without further ado...


The weather: Downright cold in the mornings. We've already had a killing frost, so I'm definitely hustling butt and digging things this week so that I can (maybe) focus on some other things I've got going on. 

Right now, I am: Fighting exhaustion and debating the merits of putting on eyeshadow. 

Thinking and pondering: About this week's mess of a schedule and trying to reconcile everything I am going to do with the possibility of rest. 

How I am feeling: Wiped out. Also, cramps are the  literal worst. 

On the breakfast plate: Half of a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle. Half of a hashbrown and a cup of coffee. 

On the lunch plate: I have no earthly idea, but I think I have to go to Sam's club today so I may just grab a salad or something from there. 

On the dinner plate: Beefy Cabbage Soup in the Instapot. God bless the Instapot. 

On the menu: in no particular order: Breakfast for dinner, Hamburger Helper Night, Hungarian Goulash, Chicken Soup, One-Pot Spaghetti

What I am wearing; Jeans and a shirt that says "good vibes." It has pocketsssss

On my reading pile: Still everything, but my adoptive Momma gave me Theo of Golden to read, so add that too. 

On my TV this week: All the usual stuff. Ella and I started "Until the T-shirt Dries" and I'm really honestly not sure how I feel about it. I like it...but then I don't. It'll never be Mr. Hiiragi's Homeroom. 
Goose and I may start The Ramparts of Ice this week. 

To-do list: Go shopping, do some cleaning, visit one of my clients. 

What I am creating: The tuber master list. 

From the camera: 



We had our first frost yesterday! 

Prayers, Devotionals: Please continue to lift up my best friend in prayer.

  4. Hello my Beauty! I worry about you working so hard!! Make sure you take time to refill your cup too dear One. Your menu sounds delish and you reminded me I need to put our favorite cabbage soup on the list soon. :) I want to read Theo of Golden too - but I've been too much of a crafting Queen these days. Lol Does reading cookbooks count for reading? 🙈 We had frost in our area but we have yet been spared...but I know it's coming. Aacck!! I'm not ready for the s word yet. ❄️ But with where I live it could happen anytime. Have a good week and take good care of yourself! xoxo

  5. Hope you are able to get some rest in during your busy season. There was a frost advisory around here this weekend but I'm not sure we got any, garden looks okay so I doubt it. Odd for us to have not had frost yet. Pockets are the best! Prayer up for your best friend. Hope you have a wonderful week!
