Happy Homemaker 2026-08-03

Good morning and welcome August.. one month until the BER months :)

Tuesday we went with grandkids to McD's, followed by cinema to see Toy Story 5.  They stayed for supper as there was no electricity from 3 to 10 pm at their house.

Was a quiet week doing a few things around the house, reading and doing a bit of crafting.

Saturday we went to Pier with neighbors for a few hours then we went to a nice restaurant in town followed by some ice cream. Hot day.

Sunday was very humid and hot, uggg.  Did some housechores and went to a small local market for some bread and pork spread.  Got Anne-E a jeans skirt and capris for free at the Troc-don.  Printed out my 'ber' months calendar and filling it up with things to do before Christmas (food, Halloween prep, Christmas prep, Fall prep).

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

  2. Your ice cream looks yummy and it looks like you have had a really fun week! My Mom took my kiddos to see Toy Story 5 so I'm jealous I haven't seen it yet! We thought about going to see Moana but I've not heard many positives so I think maybe it is one of those wait until streaming movies. I agree with you, I'm so ready to get my fall things out! But I'm holding up since we have a mini-vaca next week, I don't want to let summer go just yet!

  3. Hello lovely Lucie!
    You’re thinking this Fall thoughts like me. Soon my Friend :)
    Sounds like a fun outing with friends and that ice cream looked good!! I laughed at your happiness of sitting outside with no mosquitos. Lol I sure relate with that in the northwoods too. Hope it cools off for you 💗

  4. Good morning, here it is already 29 degreesC at 11 in the morning; yesterday it was 36...

    I do as little as possible then and actually only get active in the evening.
    Eating at McDonald's isn't just for kids, you know; it's a favorite of our (oldies) too.

    What lovely photos you've posted again.
    I wish you a wonderful week.
