Happy Homemaker Monday December 31,2019

Wow guys where in the world has the year gone! I feel like I closed my eyes and woke up and it was gone!

2019 has had some very high and some very scary low moments too!

I read a quote one day last week somewhere that said in 2020 I am not making resolutions in 2020! Instead I am gonna take each day as it comes and make it happen!

That is truly how I want to take on 2020.

I want to make each day count to best I can with out any regrets or guilt.

Today I am linking up with lovely Sandra at the Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday.

If you would like to join in one the fun just follow the link below:

The weather: has been insane! It feels more like spring instead of  winter! It felt like 70 around seven this morning! The rest of this week is going to follow that same trend till Sunday. Even then it's only going to in the 50's it's normally way cooler this time of the year! I worry if it doesn't soon get cold our fruit trees will prematurely bloom ruin the fruit crops again this year!

I sure hope not.

Right Now : I am setting her chatting with my daughter as I work on this blog post. I love our morning time talks! I am so blessed I get to be her Mom!

Homemaking Tips:

As I take down Christmas I plan to organize each box and label it's contents. Also pack it up by room! I am kinda ready for thing to be back to normal. My tree has been up since Halloween.

Looking Around The House:

Its actually not bad at all! I don't plan to take the tree down till Thursday. I will not do much to the house till then! I am actually considering leaving my snow men out till the last part of February. If I do that it will make the Christmas pack up go quicker.

From The Camera:

One of my daughters wedding pictures! This is one of my favorites of my two girls together on their special day together!

On My Prayer List:

My heart is very heavy for so much! One that is on the top of my list is my sweet Lyric. He has been living with my daughter for the past few months! He was taken from his parents for neglect. Dss informed her their last supervised visitation he we would be returning home soon! This may be good news if we truly knew they had change. However they have told bad shown signs they know their way around the drug test. The living situation is not better and not stable. Please help us pray something happens that alters that return and he gets to stay where he is! He is so loved! I never knew that the role of a grandma could be so wonderful! He has totally stolen my heart and thrives with our family!

Please pray for the family Sandra mentioned in her prayer request who lost their 3 month old baby!
Please pray for my sweet doggy London! London is 10 and is showing her age a little lately. Saturday night she was sleeping with me in my head and I have adjustable bed that I sleep in. It stays at the highest height. London was asleep as was I. When she rolled the wrong way and fell of my bed on to the hardwood floors. She is very very sore, and has sprained her left leg. like I said she is showing her age quite a bit. My daughter is very attached. Please help us pray that  she recovers quickly!

My husband's book will launch globally this month! Pray it sells well more than that pray that the content changes lives!

Last but not least! Please continue to remember me as I battle lupus! It seems each appointment comes with a new issue this disease has caused.

Pray can fight strong!
