Menu Planning

One of the things I have been trying to improve on as a wife and mom recently is meal planning.  It's hard for me to get into a regular routine with it, since Skip is only home for dinner like every other week.  I'm way more casual about what Little M and I eat on nights it's just the two of us, but I want to get better about us all sitting down and eating a good meal together when Skip is home.  So last week I really buckled down and managed to make a nice meal every single night!  And my new obsession love of Pinterest definitely helped to inspire me.  So here's what we had {and honestly, I'm just feeling too lay to post all the recipes, but feel free to leave me a comment and I'll email you one if you want}

Tuesday: Mediterranean chicken wraps

Wednesday: Sausage and peppers

Thursday: Pasta with marinara sauce and leftover sausage

Friday: Buffalo chicken wraps

Saturday: Cheddar chicken and garlic risotto

Sunday: Crock pot mac and cheese


So what have you been cooking recently?

    YUM! I'm the same way! I'm horrible about dinners. And I've only gotten worse over the last few weeks with Brad never being home for dinner! I need to start getting better about making dinner for all of us!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
