Holy Yes, it’s Friday! It’s been another week that I’ve basically sucked at menu planning. Wait, no, I’m awesome at menu planning; it’s the shopping and execution that’s been giving me trouble. So here’s how this week went down: Sunday I made chili. It was awesome. Go me! I peaked early. Monday, I didn’t feel… Continue reading Mom, What’s For Dinner? Vol. 3

A Day in the Life of a Working Mom
Time Management Basics First, let me say that I don’t really like the title “working mom” because I’m hard pressed to think of a mom who doesn’t work. But work-away-from-home-mom is too much of a mouthful, so I’ll stick with the standard. I’ve already shared with you the magic that is Flylady; I couldn’t keep… Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Working Mom
Mom, What’s For Dinner? Vol. 2
So my last post was the instructions for the soup I ended up making Monday night. Tuesday, I made the pork chops. Wednesday I did the French dips, which nobody ate because nobody was home, which is usually when I give up on menu planning. Last night, Thursday, no one was hungry at dinnertime so… Continue reading Mom, What’s For Dinner? Vol. 2
Cabbage Sausage Potato Soup
Ok so Monday I posted our menu for the week, then I immediately went home and jumped right off script. In my defense, I had planned to make this soup on Sunday but we decided chili rellanos from the Mexican market deli sounded better so the soup didn’t happen. Then, on Monday, the pit stop… Continue reading Cabbage Sausage Potato Soup
You Can Lead A Horse to Water…
Yeah, you know the rest. You can’t make unhappy people happy. This thought jut randomly popped into my head this afternoon and I think it deserves a little bit of digging into. This past Friday, we had dinner with my bestie and I’m not even sure how it happened but we all started dispensing life-advice… Continue reading You Can Lead A Horse to Water…
Fail to Plan or Plan to EAT!
Menu Planning Week One In Flylady-land, our habit for the month of November is menu planning. I will admit, in the past, this is not a skill I’ve developed so I’m excited to give it another go. My menu planning usually goes something like this: Do you see what the problem is? I see it… Continue reading Fail to Plan or Plan to EAT!
Living Like No One Else…My Experience with Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover
When the student is ready to learn, the teacher appears. Flylady led me to Suze Orman, and in discussing her with my brother, I was led to Dave Ramsey. My brother gave me a copy of the Total Money Makeover in late 2006. I drank the cool aid! At the time I had just over… Continue reading Living Like No One Else…My Experience with Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover
There’s a Farmer’s Market on My Porch!
Healthy Eating Made Easy I bought myself a present I’ve been eyeing for years. The gift of “farmer’s market delivery.” That’s just what I’m calling it. I joined a CSA called Farm Fresh to You. What on earth is a CSA, you ask? It stands for Community Supported Agriculture. I’m the community, supporting local agriculture. … Continue reading There’s a Farmer’s Market on My Porch!
So I’ve Decided I Want to Flip a House
Goal Setting in Action I read once that how you spend your free time is your biggest clue as to what your natural purpose is. It’s kind of obvious, really. When you can do anything, what do you do? For years, I was trying to figure out exactly how one becomes a professional sleeper, because… Continue reading So I’ve Decided I Want to Flip a House
