I had a wonderful kid-free girls weekend and now I’m trying to get back into the menu planning groove. It’s not coming easy, but here’s what I’m thinking… Monday – Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops + Tomato / Zucchini Onion Bake Safeway has Pork chops @ 1.99/lb, Zucchini & Squash @ $1/lb Tuesday – Super...
I would say my gardening prowess is best defined by my ability to spend money at Home Depot. I have never considered myself to have a green thumb, and have viewed lawn and garden care as my husband’s domain. Last year, when I decided to get more frugal, I got interested in growing our...
Mike & I celebrated our 13th anniversary on Sunday. Well, we didn’t actually do any celebrating on Sunday, but I told him I had plans to take him on a mystery date on Monday. On Monday, after an early lunch we dropped the kids off at our first mystery destination — friends with kids...
I need to apologize, but apparently the ability to leave comments on my blog has been a little screwy lately. It’s very frustrating and I’m still trying to figure out what’s happening, but apparently, at some point, a setting allowing comments on my blog got turned off this past week. When I caught the...
13th wonderful years ago, my beloved betrothed became my beloved bemate. And we’ve been in bledded wiss ever since. We’ve had our ups and down — it hasn’t always been easy and certainly not always pretty. But I know that Mike is the man God intended for me and I am a...
Last week, the Bible study I’ve been participating in all school year wrapped up. Our last meeting was a time of fellowship and sharing. It was so touching to hear how God has worked in so many women’s lives and used our time in Bible Study to bless, encourage, and teach. I didn’t stand...
Looky me, it’s Sunday eve and I’ve already planned my weekly menu AND done my weekly shopping! (Pats self on back). I only had $66 left for the rest of the month, so I’m happy I managed to get it done under budget (by using lots of stuff already on hand/in freezer). Planning...
Another week, another meal plan. We ate pretty well last week and I’m looking forward to this week’s eatin’. The kids have been clamoring for dessert just about every night of the week, so I went ahead and planned a few desserts. Here’s the plan, Stan: Sunday – Chicken Enchilada Pie +...
You may or may not have noticed, but I’ve been making a lot of “tweaks” to ye olde blog. Most are probably not obvious to you, but these are little things that make me much happier (mostly). So, in case you’ve missed it, here are some of the new and improved super...
I better get my Mother’s Day re-cap in before we hit Father’s Day. I had a lovely Mother’s Day thanks to a wonderful hubby and mostly wonderful kids (the kids are wonderful, they just have more moments of un-wonderfulness than their dad). I generally don’t expect a lot from Mother’s Day — a chance...
