Happy Homemaker 2026-05-10

Goodmorning!

Thursday, dh picked up grandkids at school and daycare so they had supper with us.

Saturday we went to my daughter's house for Ely's 5th bday, with their friends and son-in-law's family.  Son and dil were gone with friends at a cabin in a zoo.

Sunday was a routine chores day, with some time spent chatting with neighbors in the afternoon.  Mother's day supper was us with neighbors, sil and bil at St-Hubert's chicken.  Then a hockey game to watch.

Going to be a tough week emotionally, today it's 1 year since mom was placed in a home and tomorrow will be 1 year since dad passed.

Hoping we don't have ANYTHING next weekend, I need some routine ;)

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
