Hey Monday!

-
Amazingly, I've been awake for about an hour now...but my sister is asleep in the den (I told her I wouldn't wake her up until 8:30 or 9:00, so after this, she's getting awake haha).

Anywho, I found a linky party this morning while I was catching up on weekend blogs...called Miscellany Monday



Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters



Figured this would be the perfect way to link up to my scatterbrained thoughts of plans for this week...


  • In terms of sewing, I want to finish Mom's apron and my t-shirt quilt.  I started the quilt after my freshman year of college.  It's made up of (mostly mine) and a few of Adam's shirts from high school.....including the shirts we wore on our first date.  Even though I started it five years ago or something like that...it's still not done! I kept finding more shirts to add!! (And sadly, I still wear some of my shirts from high school! This is why I'm trying to wear tshirts less frequently, but it's just not happening hhaha)
  • We're thinking about trying out the waterpark in town.  I've never been, so obviously Sarah hasn't either, so we'll see if it's good or not!
  • We were going to go to Tutti Frutti (self-serve frozen yogurt place in town) last night, but we were all pooped after going to watch Despicable Me (great movie) and stuffing ourselves at Johnny Carinos Brusco's...then going to Target, Home Depot, Starbucks (hehe...which, by the way, it was my first purchased coffee since my France trip!...I was pretty amazed with myself when I realized that!!!), and then to Wal-Mart.
  • Adam loooves the blueberry donuts at Daylight Donuts and we haven't been in a while, so we might go there Wednesday when we get a student discount on a dozen! :)
  • Sarah wants to go walking around Toomer's Corner (which surprises me 1.because she used to hate to shop and 2.because she really used to hate walking distances around town.  Once we walked to Kinnucan's ((OK Bad idea..I thought it was closer than it was...and it was before I had a car...)) and she's been complaining about that walk ever since!)
  • Of course we're going to class today, Wednesday, and Friday and of course I'm excited about that, but I'm excited that Sarah's excited about that too.
Ok, I think it's breakfast time for the teenager who probably doesn't want to wake up yet!!!

    Following you from MM! I was going to start a t-shirt quilt, too... They sound so cool. But I don't have the patience for anything like that and I've never quilted before so I ended up making a handful of t-shirt pillows instead. HEhe. :)

    Hi Wendy! So nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by Windy Poplars today and saying hello! I love the idea of a t-shirt quilt. What a wonderful way to preserve memories! Your passport covers are super adorable too...wish I had a passport to put in one :-) My goal is to get one this fall - so I may be requiring your services then! Hope you're enjoying the week with your sister in for a visit. Sounds like lots of fun! Happy Monday to ya, ~Kristin from Windy Poplars

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
