Anti-Procrastination Challenge: Monday

Posted in Thoughts

It’s the final day over at The Sparrows Nest for the Anti-Procrastination Challenge. It’s been a blessing to me even though I didn’t find out about it until later in the challenge. Several things have been accomplished that probably wouldn’t have gotten done otherwise. So, thank you Mrs. Wilt for the challenge. Today, I need to take out the recycling. I have several bags of newspaper (nicely organized), but they still need to go as well as the bag of cans. I also need to finish a craft project with munchkin that I’ve been meaning to finish up, but haven’t…

Meal Plan Monday

Posted in Homemaking

I do my meal plans a little different than many. I prefer to have a list of items (usually on a dry erase board in the kitchen) that we will have to eat for supper during the week. Each day, I pick out what we’ll be having from that list based upon what is going on that day. Here’s the menu for this week: 1. Baked Mac ‘n Cheese 2. Grilled Cheese and Soup 3. Spaghetti 4. Steak with veggies 5. Loaded Potatoes 6. Tacos 7. Cheesesteaks

Daddy Daughter Day

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Today has ended up being a Daddy Daughter Day at our house. I’m in bed with a stomache bug of some sort. Yuck! They started off the day with some leftover pancakes from Daddy’s cooking session yesterday. (He always makes extras, so we can have them during the week.) After breakfast, they have watched The Living Bible: John. It’s basically a verse by verse portrayal of the book of John. They had in previous weeks watched The Living Bible: Acts. They both really enjoy these. Sometimes they follow along in the Bible and sometimes they just watch. John was a…
