Menu Planning

Well I’ve attempted to plan out my menu for the week.  Hopefully all will go as planned…
Monday- fall pork roast in the crock pot (not very good-won’t make again)
Tuesday-picnic in the car- sandwiches, chips and fruit.  We have approx. 50 minutes between Brownies and Boy Scouts- not enough time to go home and eat.
Wednesday-Lasagna, salad, […]

Out From Hiding

I haven’t exactly been hiding out over the past couple of weeks…I’d rather look at it as being consumed with my goals.
I have been waking up before the crack of dawn on most mornings to go to Lady of America’s version of boot camp. I call it torture. However, […]

Meal Planning

I’m re-reading the book,  “More Hours In My Day”, of course I don’t know how I’m going to get more hours when I spend hours reading- but I digress.  The authors, Emilie Barnes and Sheri Torelli, write that we average making 750 meals a year.  So a meal plan is a must!  I have tried […]

Back To School Ramblings

Christine and I took our kids roller skating yesterday. It was such fun, […]
