 Another busy week ahead of us – but I’ve figured out that the busy-ness has actually been good for the kids. Since they haven’t been able to get outside much due to the weather, the extra outings have helped them cope with ‘cabin fever’ much better. I think it also helps them not dwell [...]

 It’s another crazy busy week this week. Part of it is that I’m starting my regular schedule with my new chiropractor and he wants to see me three times a week for the next four weeks. Eek! AND he’s 30 miles away, but he’s amazingly wonderful at what he does and after only two visits [...]

 Valentine’s Day, 2010
We had a pretty nice Valentine’s Day around here. Admittedly, I was a bit grumpy this morning (had nothing to do with Valentine’s Day…), but I managed to pull it together and we ended up enjoying our day.
The boys really enjoyed their heart shaped foods today. I served heart shaped sandwiches for lunch [...]

 I’m back and feeling refreshed and so excited about the changes that will be taking place around here over the next few weeks! I’ll share more of that with you as the time approaches!!
Last month, I ended up completing the pantry challenge. I did go over budget from my original goal, but still only spent [...]

 GAH! I only have $1.38 left in my projected budget (and there are some items that I still NEED). But, it couldn’t be helped – my honey needed some healthy snack foods – he sent me a “mayday” email because the only portable snack foods he could find at the BX and chow hall were [...]

 It is the end of the first full week of January and I have to say, I’ve done pretty well!
Last week I shared with you my goal of only spending $100 on groceries/toiletries/paper goods, etc. for the month of January. As of today, I have $65.95 left in my budget for the month. I have [...]

 I really think this pantry challenge couldn’t have come at a better time (and I probably wouldn’t have thought to do it if someone hadn’t thought it up for me!). With our impending overseas move in July – but we’re moving out of our house and going to stay with my family in Florida sometime [...]

 This week is a short menu for me. We will be leaving Thursday morning (yes, we’re driving on Thanksgiving Day) and heading to Oklahoma for the weekend. We originally planned to leave Wednesday afternoon, but decided since we’ll be staying in a hotel, we didn’t want to have to figure out what to [...]

 What a crazy couple of weeks it has been around here. Whew! But, I don’t foresee the busy-ness slowing down until after Christmas. I am so happy that I participated in baking day, it is saving me loads of time in my meal planning and preparations!!
Here’s what we are planning for meals [...]
