Menu Plan for the Week 1-29-12

We're headed into a busy week.  The big kid will have his birthday on Wednesday and we have optometry appointments this week too!  I am also helping my sister organize her house before her baby shower.  Along with the normal payday busy-ness I am sure to be hopping this week! 

I am knocking out my monthly menu plan so I can get my grocery list ready to go.  I love getting most of the things we need all at once, it saves me so much time during the month!  Thank goodness for a big freezer and a wonderful pantry!

I had a such great, productive weekend.  Worked on a bunch of sewing projects and finished all but one little item.  I wish I could spend every day sewing and creating!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!


Here is what we have planned to eat for this week:

Breakfasts: Cereal, Oatmeal, Biscuits, Muffins, Pancakes, French Toast, Waffles, Fruit

Lunches: Ham or PB & J Sandwiches, Meat and Crackers, Leftovers, Fruit or Veggies, String Cheese, Hard Boiled Eggs, Granola Bars, Fruit Leather, Homemade Chewy Bars

Monday- Tri Tip, Red Potatoes, Broccoli

Menu Plan for the Week 1-22-12

I haven't post our menu in a while, but we have definitely been using it!  I love having all the decisions made before I have a long lovely day at school!  Makes my life much more simple.

Nothing big going on this week, just trying to finish up projects.  I've been making progress, which is a nice feeling :)  Next week is the big kid's birthday, so I made cake balls as a trial for his treats.  Not sure what he wants yet, but it was yummy practice!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

On the Night Stand

I have been reading like crazy over the last year.  We rediscovered the library last summer and I love that I can request just about anything!  Since buying a lot of books is not in my budget right now, the library has been a huge blessing.  It has also save me from purchasing a couple of books that I wound up not loving :)  So I thought I would share what I'm reading right now and see if anyone has any suggestions for me!

 

From the top I just got Guernsey  Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society...I am really enjoying it!

Next is Money Saving Mom's Budget...so good and totally straight forward.

Then you see One Thousand Gifts by the amazingly poetic Ann Voskamp...her words are beautiful!

I am also reading Grace for the Good Girl by Emily P. Freeman...really making me think and evaluate!!

I found the Herbal Guide to Food at a junk shop...nice explanations and some recipes I'd like to try.

Decision Points has been on night stand for a while...It's like a history book, so I am really trying to take it all in.  The stories and perspective are so good!

Last but not least is one of my favorite magazines, Country Living...I love it when Amazon has the $5 deals!

So that's what I'm into right now.  I love having a stack, so I can bounce between different styles and stories.  After having to read for college and work for so many years it is really nice to be able to read things for fun again!

Until next time,
