Happy Homemaker 2022-01-17

Good morning!

Last week was busy with telework and we babysat the grandkids on Monday (daycare was closed).

Took Thursday afternoon off and we ran errands (I had a few returns to do too).  DH picked up his new glasses at Costco's .

DH babysat grandkids on Friday (daycare was closed).  Xavier stayed over Friday night and left after supper on Saturday.  

Sunday was picking up and doing lots of small things around the house.  Started this post on Sunday night.

This morning I went for a nice walk, 45 minutes before the snowstorm, was so nice outside, not too cold (like last week!).  It's -11C here right now.  It's almost 9:00 and just starting to snow.

Upcoming Wednesday daycare is closed so grandkids will be here

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

  1. Glad your Covid curfew is being lifted, gives me a bit of hope. Our numbers are crazy high around here currently though other than a return to masks at our local school district, no new restrictions. Always love seeing your paintings. Hope you have a wonderful week!

  2. Hi Lucie!
    I think numbers are still hitting peak here - but hopefully it will get better in the next few weeks.
    Is there anything sweeter than a little one's giggles?? Love that video!! And love your cloud painting. So pretty. You are so good at that!

    And love your funny...isn't that the truth!! Lol Although we did have some family reunions that past summer. But sure feels like I haven't been anywhere in a LONG time!
