This post has been rattling around in my head since I started blogging. But my dilemma? Since stir-fry is supposed to be so easy, would anyone want to see a post/tutorial on it? But as I began making some last week, I decided that I would write this post, since after all, it took me years to figure out my own tips and tricks for making a good … [Read more...]
So Glad to Have a Daily Checklist
I often blame my chaotic home, scatter-brainedness, lack of ability to organize paper clutter, etc. etc. etc. on my creativity. I'm probably flattering myself, but I've decided to be okay with that delusion.I love getting in the creative "zone." Ideas start flying and everything else disappears as my focus zeroes in on whatever project I'm working … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Results
We just returned from dinner out, and I saw that Money Saving Mom has her link-up posted for Freezer Cooking Day. Honestly, it doesn't feel like I spent much time cooking, but I did everything on my list. I think I'm a great example of how you can use "freezer cooking" to make your life easier without devoting an entire day to it. Wednesday … [Read more...]
Even if I Find A Place For Everything . . . .
It's my goal for 2010 to find a place for everything. No more frantic searching for lost items, no more sinking feeling when I realize that I need something that is probably buried in one of many piles of random stuff. No more piles of random stuff. But of course, being only March, I'm not there yet. Better, but not there. For … [Read more...]
The Watermelon Went Splat
Sometimes I love being the go-to mom for my son's kindergarten teacher. Sometimes I don't. I always seem to get assigned the more difficult party item. Like ice cream. Ice cream can't exactly be sent in a 6yo's backpack. Today was watermelon. Not that watermelon is in season or cheap or anything. Actually, it was watermelon, cut into … [Read more...]
My Decluttering Progress for March
Amy at The Finer Things in Life is again hosting her monthly link-up in her decluttering challenge. Her goal is to get rid of 730 things in 365 days. That's an average of 2 items a day. I linked up in January and was incredibly proud of my progress. I linked up in February and was inspired to do better in March when I went back through my posts … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
I consider it quite fortuitous that Money Saving Mom is hosting another Freezer Cooking Day at the exact same time that I need to do some freezer-cooking anyway. I was almost completely out of meat , and today was very happy to find that both boneless/skinless chicken breasts and 93% lean ground beef were on sale at my buy-price of … [Read more...]
Wednesday’s Broken Record
Unlike last week, I didn't plan ahead so that my typically crazy Wednesday wouldn't send the house into chaos. I've basically done nothing in the house today. I've been gone all day at Bible Study, Easter shoe shopping, grocery shopping, and park going. All important things, so I have decided to not feel guilty right now. … [Read more...]
Re-Creating Those Frozen Smoothie Mixes
During a recent frozen foods sale, I got some Yoplait Smoothies for quite cheap. Cheaper than I could find them on a regular basis, which was frustrating since we LOVED them. (And especially since our newly cleared clutter area allows us to get to the food processor easily!) I've always loved smoothies. I've even tried to make them before, but … [Read more...]
