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

  3. I've been getting the summery stuff out too as well as continuing to declutter! I've bought some large bins to finally separate the seasonal things in the attic so it will be organized. I'm very jealous of your retirement talk! I can't wait to be able to retire! Best of luck and blessings in all the planning!
