As usual, Florida fall is elusive! But today being the first day of fall I wanted to wish everyone a happy fall season! I’m excited for cooler weather (hasn’t happened yet!), apples (still waiting for them to travel down to Florida!), apple cider, and pumpkins! I guess all my favorite fall stuff doesn’t pay attention…
Favorite Birthday Presents
Hi Everyone! I’ve missed writing in this space and interacting with you all! So, a few things have happened since May–I managed to survive working and finding enough activities for my daughter during the summer. School has been in session for almost a month now! My mom had major surgery and came through it well…
Menu Planning–The Nitty Gritty
So, I got asked how I menu plan. It honestly changes according to the time of year, my mood, and the grocery budget. Here are some of the ways I’ve used more than once! I have a collection of recipes that sound good/we’ve tried and liked. Some of them are in an app/website called pepperplate.com…
Menu Plan Monday September 12
Is everyone ready for a menu plan? We’ve been watching reruns of the “A-Team” lately, so I think it’s totally appropriate to say, “I love it when a plan comes together!”–Hannibal Smith This will look a little different from before because of the changes I talked about last week! It is also going to be…
Menu Plan Monday–Changes
I am still menu planning–it is a habit now and I think I would have a full-blown panic attack if I had to go a whole week without a plan or even worse go to the grocery store without a shopping list based on that plan! I have had to make some major changes over…
New Favorite Things!
Hi Everyone! It’s been some time since I shared some of my favorite things. Enjoy! I’m not usually a huge fan of mixes, but sometimes (when its the end of school and you don’t even want to look at six bags of gluten-free flour!!) you cave in. I was super surprised to see this new…
Five Frugal Things
Hi Everyone! It’s a no menu post week and I thought I would try a list post! I follow The Frugal Girl and she occasionally posts 5 frugal things she’s doing. I find it refreshing and a great reminder because while I am always striving to be frugal sometimes I lose sight of all the…
Menu Plan Monday, May 2nd!
Menu Plan Monday! Yay! I love having a plan for what’s happening for meals–makes the week a whole lot smoother! And since my life just seems to go from crazy to more crazy that is exactly the structure that I need. I’ve also been planning at least two meatless meals a week. So far there…
Menu Plan Monday, April 18th!
Well I knew as soon as I said that I would be posting more something would happen. 🙂 I think I’ve established some boundaries and figured out how to make this blogging thing work again at least once a week! I’ve missed writing, so I’ve been reading some more and carving out some time to…
Menu Plan Monday, March 7!
It’s a new month and a new theme–Salads!! I love salads: garden salads, chef salads, jello salads, potato salads, pasta salads, and more! It’s the perfect way to welcome spring! Also with the new month I’m working on some new routines. Doing menus every other week seems to be working well for me, so I’ll…
