This week is going to be a busy week for us. On some days we have more than 3 things going on for the night. Kids meeting their teacher for reading/math skills, soccer, and football. Of course the sports fall on the same day within at least 1/2 hour of each other at different locations. [...]

Breakfast for dinner in our house guarantees a clean plate! Figuring my meal plan for last week this one just came in to mind and could not pass on it. As I said, I was trying to cut my food budget by following my friend, Heidi’s meals for that week. She had french toast for [...]

So there was no magical ingredient or website to link back to! Just me [...]

Last week Craig made home made chocolate chip cookies. I begged him to let me have him be a guest blogger but he obviously said no since you didn’t get the chance to see his face or his awesome cookies. I’d say he’ll laugh when he reads this……but the only way he’ll read it is [...]
