Monday Morning Coffee



Good Monday morning, my friends! We are back in Maryland, and I am cozy on my couch with my coffee and pups. Today, Flynn and I are going to homeschool, and I am quite excited to introduce her to one of my very favorite people, Mr. William Shakespeare. There is so much to know about him before we begin the piece I have chosen for her this year, Romeo and Juliet. 

I heard a rumor from a very reliable source, Madison, that she and Steve are preparing dinner tonight. I also heard the word "lasagna" mentioned a few times, which is good! After dinner, we will hit the couch for Episode Two of one of the all-time favorites in this house...The Bachelor! This show is a staple in our home during the long winter months, and although I know it is cringy, it is also entertaining. We are always rooting for the one nice, normal girl in a house filled with various interesting personalities. Sometimes, we are rooting that she DOESN'T get a rose because we think she can do much better!

Finishing this morning with a few thoughts for the month of February, courtesy of Google...

Check.

Check.

Annnd...Check.


Happy Monday, my friends!
Looking forward to catching up with you.

  5. Oh lasagna sounds really good. It's one of my favs. I hope Flynn does well in her William Shakespeare studies. And these are delightful quotes, and especially like the Princess Sassy Pants one. She's always so cute with her skinny long legs. ; ) That red blanket for your pups looks so Valentiney.

    Have a blessed February week, Billie Jo.

  6. Lucky Flynn getting to meet Mr. Shakespeare and read Romeo and Juliet the first time. I always loved that one. Filled with love, hate, action, poetic words - perfect drama as a teen really. :)
    Sounds like you have a perfect cozy evening planned ahead. Enjoy!! 💗

  13. Billie Jo, what do you think of Grant? I really like him so far. He keeps wanting to go deeper in conversation and I think that's a good thing. I have to watch on Hulu the day after, so I'm a day behind you. Stay cozy my friend!

  14. Oh, lasagna sounds wonderful! Hope you enjoy your cozy day and night of The Bachelor. I haven't watched in years but the commercials always intrigue me. The new bachelor seems nice from the glimpses I've seen.

  16. Glad you're back in your cozy home. I've been praying for you and your family. Life can sometimes be really difficult. Losing a Mom? One of the absolute most difficult times.
    Studying Shakespeare with Flynn sounds like it will be great fun. Lasagna made by a lovely daughter, another blessing. I hope your day was as wonderful as it sounds.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

  17. Lasagna... yum. I make it every Valentine's Day. I am looking forward to it. Glad you snuggling with your happy pups. :)

  18. I have a quote hanging by my desk at work that reads, On the Mount of Transfiguration Jesus chose to stand before the Father. Ministry to people was paused so ministry to His heart could occur.' Sometimes we need to unplug and unwind. And it's wonderful when we do!

  19. How fun to introduce Madison to William Shakespeare, I'm sure you will both enjoy the "visit"! Lasagna surely does sound wonderful! A perfect meal for winter days. Enjoy the cozy times together, blessings to you!

  21. I like your memes at the end. That's what I am doing today, in between loads of laundry.

  22. As I am reading this on Tuesday, I trust you enjoyed the lasagna and The Bachelor. Would you believe that I have never watched it? I think if I had daughters I might have been more inclined to enjoy it with them.

  23. Billie Jo, I'm glad you are finding comfort in your cozy home, and you're taking care of you. Enjoy Romeo and Juliet with Flynn. I remember reading some classic books for the first time when I homeschooled my sons. I'm not sure why some of them weren't part of my school or just teen experience, but it made for good memories.

  24. I agree that lazy days and quiet time is not wasted. For sure. It's so fun to get that and such a recharge. Happy Reading and Happy Teaching.
