Happy Homemaker Monday 02.08.16

Good Morning!! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  I enjoyed watching the Super Bowl, especially liked the half-time show with Coldplay and Bruno Mars!!  I also thought that Lady Gaga did a fantastic job singing the national anthem.  I have to admit I started out cheering for the Panthers (only because I like the color of their uniforms, lol), but I do like to watch Payton Manning play, just not a Broncos fan.  But in the end, I was glad he won…with the Broncos.  When it comes to the Super Bowl that the Bears are NOT in, I’m like Switzerland, and remain neutral, either team can win as far as I’m concerned. 😀

Linking-up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
The forecast shows some snow this week, I know it won’t be much, but I’ll take it!! And we’re supposed to call this winter?!?! pfffft.

MOVIE REVIEW:
We went to see Kung Fu Panda 3 on my son’s birthday. I really enjoyed it and liked that it had a good message. It was about finding what makes you who you are. I’ve liked all of them, and Shifu (voice of Dustin Hoffman) and Po (voice of Jack Black) are my favorites. What’s not to like about a huge, adorable, lovable panda who does Kung Fu!!

LOL CHUCKLES, AND GIGGLES:
This is totally me!!

Your welcome, my introverted friends!! 🙂

WHAT’S ON THE TV:
Food Network’s Kid’s Baking Championship. My youngest son and I watch this together. Some of the recipes that these kids come up with are very impressive. I do hate to see one of them go home each week, but they have such great attitudes.

Castle also returns this week!!

RECIPE I WANT TO TRY:
Yummy addition to banana bread!! It’s kinda healthy right…there’s bananas in it. 🙂

WHAT I AM CREATING:
Not so much me, but the boys and I.  I remembered seeing this before, but was reminded of it from my friend Joanna @Where the roses never fade. Ice Marbles. You fill balloons with water and food coloring and set them outside to freeze. It looks like it will be cold enough this week, so we’ll see how they turn out.

 

FAVORITE BLOG POST:
Too adorable, worth watching to the end, he gets cuter and cuter!!

HELPFUL TIP:
Recently I started storing my leftovers in a different way. I usually put them in one large container. But now I store them in individual freezer bags, with enough for maybe 2 servings. I find that it is quicker to thaw out that way. It takes a little longer when putting it away, but here’s my tip. I put the freezer bag in a large plastic cup or container, with a wide opening, and fold the top of the bag over the edges. This makes it easy to spoon in the food.
