Okay ~ so you are looking for my menu for the week? Umm...well...I forgot to do one! I was a little busy this weekend. :) The cool thing is that I have enough meals I didn't get to in the last month to make up a quick menu or at least make it until Friday! I know I have some fish that I...
I've been getting organized with Org Junkie's 52 WEEKS of Organizing! Head on over to add your organization stories and get inspired by others! I have to make this one short but sweet because I am in crisis cleaning mode for a little get together we are having for my daughter's birthday party tomorrow! We are having 2 parties - one here tomorrow...
It was bound to happen ~ because she has 3 brothers, I was bound to have a little Diva on my hand. That is not to say that she can't handle herself...because she can...but my, oh my, am I in trouble. Today my little Diva turned 4. You should have seen her face when Mrs. S put her birthday crown on at school....
I've been blogging for a while...I've been blogging here at Perfecting Imperfection for a little over 2 years. I had a blog before this, too. Thoughts of the Mama. So - I've been blogging for a while. I've never done a Wordless Wednesday, though. I've looked at a lot of Wordless Wednesday posts through my years of reading blogs and this morning I...
Yesterday, I ventured out to a grocery store that I'm not use to going to because they had really good prices on meat. I didn't want to go to 2 stores because I was kind of pressed for time (DH was headed to tailgate down at the stadium before the big game yesterday). What a mistake! I should have bought the meat from...
Yesterday, I finished our book club selection for this month and just have to share my thoughts on the book with all of you. The book was Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah and I loved it. From the very beginning of the book, I knew that I was going to shed some tears while reading about sisters, Nina and Meredith, as they go...
This week's project was one of the 2 China Closets I have in my dining room. This one is built into the wall and we use it as book shelves/storage shelves. We used it as a China Closet until my mother-in-law bought us her mother-in-law's dining room set that had a China Closet with it. That China Closet is on my list, too...but...
Despite all the excitement this weekend, I made it to the grocery store yesterday and am ready for this week! I was so excited about my total for the month so far, too! We have budgeted about $450 for groceries each month. This month (keep in mind this will last me until Saturday, January 22nd) we have spent $317.32!!! I couldn't be happier!...
Today started out like any other normal, average day. Nate left for school and I fed the remaining kids and then hopped on the computer. I posted a blog post. I read some blog posts. Made lunch and waited for Nate to come home. My Dad dropped Nate off and told me about all the things he had planned to do this afternoon....
At the beginning of January, I decided that I needed to work on meal planning and getting our grocery budget into some kind of shape. I read a few books. I read a few blogs. I started doing some research. The first thing I discovered is that I plan meals ALL wrong. I still haven't totally fixed this, yet because it is going...
I thought I'd share some pictures I took yesterday while the "big" kids played with Jerry in the snow. Jerry had to take the garbage out - which meant the kids wanted to go with him and play in the snow. They were out there for about an hour...which was enough time for them to turn rosy cheeked and sniffely. ...
