Keeping our bodies healthy means eating right, exercising and getting the right amount of play time and rest time. That’s hard to balance for kids! I’ve noticed my oldest Princess V struggling lately to communicate her feelings. We were experiencing meltdowns way too often for anyone’s enjoyment. One day after her dance class, when we […]

Jerusalem Dinner
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter Weekend. It fell right in the middle of our Spring Break, so we got a lot done on our bathroom remodel, but we also kept it fun and Spiritual for the kids. Saturday we went to the town’s Easter Egg Hunt. It was absolutely wonderful, and the […]
Not enough hours in the day
It’s official – there are not enough hours in the day to do all I want to do. When I became a mom I started throwing my whole self into that – motherhood. Slowly I began doing things I enjoyed again – like reading. As a homemaker, the kitchen became my domain. 3 home cooked […]
Menu Plan 3/11
We had a Pork Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and Asparagus for dinner last night. I think I got the best reviews from Mark I’ve had in awhile. Don’t misinterpret, he almost always enjoys what I make – but this meal was right up his ally, and he really really enjoyed it. I just might need to […]
Epic Birthday Cake {Menu Plan}
Mark had a birthday, shout Hooray! We left Friday afternoon to spend the weekend at my parents. They are kind enough to watch our kids for extended periods of time, while Mark and I go on dates. All he wanted for his birthday was a date with me…awe! It’s funny because that’s what I’m always […]
Powdered Milk and a Cheap Menu
One item I love keeping around the house is powdered milk. I use it mostly when making bread, but sometimes I like to keep a pitcher of it in the fridge as well. Growing up I had a friend whose family always drank powdered milk. I personally don’t care for the taste of it, but […]
Party Party Party
We had 3…count them…3 themed parties last week! That’s about 3 more than I normally have in a year. I think I need Mother of the Year Award now. It all started with Valentines Day. I put together a fun Alice In Wonderland Fondue party for the family. On Saturday, our second child, Princess […]
80Bites Update and a menu
I completely slacked off in my 80Bites updates here. I was doing great until the Holidays and then my posting just got thrown off. I’m still trying to find a good groove for 2013. I finished the 12 week program with 80 Bites though, and am really feeling great about it. I am no dieter. […]
Pasta anyone? {Menu Plan}
I’m trying to minimize our meat intake, and up our veggies and fruit. After I planned our menu this week, I looked it over and realized I added a lot of pasta’s in exchange for meat dishes. I would love for some meatless inspiration to hit that doesn’t involve pasta! Monday – Ham and Tater Corn […]
Menu Planning with Kids
Yesterday I cooked up some Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner. Sunday is always my favorite night to cook, since I have the time, and Mark home to help with the kids. Normally I will let the girls help me cook, unless I’m handling raw meat and sharp knifes. That was the case last night. Princess […]
