I remember when we used to order one pizza and it was enough for the two of us and a toddler. It was a big deal when we realized it was time to start ordering two pizzas. Now, we usually have to add something to the meal for two to be enough. On a rare occasion, we do have a few pieces leftover. But . . . how do you serve leftover pizza as … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking
What my husband said about me last night: "When it comes to meal planning and cooking, you're an expert." And he was serious. I don't know about you, but I absolutely glow when my husband brags on me. Here's the thing. Even though learning to wash the dishes daily was equivalent to learning a new language for me, I've always been pretty … [Read more...]
A Mess That Makes Me Smile
Hubby trimmed trees on Monday, and now we have a (taller than me) brush pile on the side of the house. We see it as we pull into the driveway, and for the past two days the kids and I have stopped to watch the birds that have turned this brush pile into a playground. (I know that the picture above only shows two birds, but that's because the … [Read more...]
The Missing Rice
At the end of a busy day, I was desperately trying to get supper together. Tuesday afternoons are always crazy as one child gets dropped off at 4:30, another gets picked up across town at 5:00, and the first gets picked up (back across town again) at 5:30. Hubby usually tries to help, but his eyes were dilated today from an eye … [Read more...]
Something to Show for My Day
Today was a day off. A day when we'd planned to be out of town but events at church yesterday kept us home instead. Things are a little rough around here house-wise. I'm still behind on laundry after the loosey-goosey Christmas break which was immediately followed by a broken washing machine. But a day out of the routine makes my mind start … [Read more...]
Menu Plan . . . Yes. That’s What I Meant to Do.
Have I mentioned that I'm writing an e-book? Because I am. The much requested Deslobification Manual is coming out at the end of January. Not that I'm going to call it a Deslobification Manual, but that's the basic idea behind it. Anyway, now that January is half over, it's becoming one of those tunnel-vision projects that I love so much but … [Read more...]
Things I’ve Written Around the Web
Enjoy your weekend! It's a long one for us, which is my favorite kind! Here are some links to things I've written around the internet lately: Over at AllYou.com I talked about the new outfit I bought to wear to all of my no-overlapping-guests Christmas and New Year's parties. At About One, I shared about one of my family's favorite … [Read more...]
How to Declutter – Should I Sell This on Ebay?
Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was a double-house-payment period in our lives when we had NO extra money. I managed to make 40$ per week during that year, and we used the money to go out to eat on the weekends. In a difficult time . . . that 40$ was huge. Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was … [Read more...]
Bathroom Project Link-Up
Did you make some changes in your own bathroom this week? I'm enjoying my newly organized-for-the-real-us bathroom. One of the things I didn't mention in Tuesday's post was that I cleared out a cabinet shelf to store towels. Yes . . . we automatically know to look in the linen closet in other end of the house. But we don't necessarily … [Read more...]
