Happy Homemaker 2020-11-09

Good morning!  

A bit late here today as my husband is home (armistice day).  My usual routine is thrown off.

We got to know the gender of our next grand-baby... a girl!! In May :)

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

How I am feeling this morning
Overwhelmed with all I have to do!  Might as well start, every little bit counts.

On my mind
Christmas, the good and the covid-bad
Hoping we get the new kitchen cabinet soon so that I can get all the house back in order.  I still have a few more deep -cleaning spaces that need to be done before Christmas.
Would like to start wrapping gifts soon and see what is missing.

On the breakfast plate
2 oat bread peanut-butter toasts and almond milk

On my reading pile
Jackie Kennedy by Bertrand Stabler-Myer ..... not the best biography of hers.

On my tv

Le résident (season 2)
C'est pour ça que je t'aime
Cardinal (season 2)
Esprits criminels (season 12)
Fragile
5e rang (season 3)
L'échappée
District 31
Occupation double
Brave new world (season 1)

Christmas movies have started since Saturday, recording those I haven't seen yet.

  3. I'm so glad I'm not the only one planning on decorating for Christmas in November. With all that 2020 has given us I really just need the cheer of Christmas lights and snowmen.

    Xavier is adorable!

    Have a wonderful week.

  4. Adorable pictures of Xavier and congratulations on the next one being a girl - so fun! I LOVE your inspiration - perfect for those of us in the US as Thanksgiving approaches and our thoughts turn to gratitude. I hope you get everything done you'd like and have a GREAT week.
