Thoughts and Confessions on Coupons

We’ve been really trying to stick to a budget lately. We’ve put our envelope system in place and are trying to get adjusted to using cash for those variable expenses to keep them to a minimum. It really is true. Using cash just has a way of making you have a better sense of the…

Menu Monday

Something big happened this week.  I {little ol’ me!} got a shout out from Michelle at Five Dinners One Hour!  The blog that inspired the drastic change in my cooking plan.  *Shriek* Seriously, I was so thrilled to be mentioned!  I got some new followers too and am now up to the BIG FIFTY!!  {Wahoo,…

Some Sparks-A-Rama…

The morning after a short night on the town celebrating our anniversary at the cheesecake factory … …we loaded up the family and journeyed to watch Haylee compete athletically for the first time! She has never done any team sports like softball or soccer or anything, so this was a big day.  :) It was…

What’s lurking under your sink?

Menu Monday

Do you like my new Menu Monday up there???  I manage to impress myself occasionally.   :) Our Menu…  Monday… Cheese Enchiladas {from last week} Tuesday… Ranch Pork Chops Wednesday… Country Ham Casserole Thursday… Leftover Buffet {I think “Buffet” makes it sound so much better, don’t you?} Friday… Pizza Night Saturday… Tacos Sunday… Roast and Potatoes…

Always Something…

Davis has had a big week.  Besides getting his first ear infection, taking his first antibiotic, eating his first bite of solids and turning 6 months old, he also added lovely RSV, as well as getting his FIRST TWO teeth! I feel so sorry for my little man going through RSV and cutting not just…

Before & After… A Metamorphosis!

The Second Edition of the Happy Birthday House Celebration is the Kids’ Room.  It has undergone quite the metamorphosis. We did some redesigning during the original renovation which took away the small 3 foot closet on the right side of the room {Chris knocked out the wall separating our itty bitty closet and the kids’…

Baby, Baby… SIX months!

   Davis is amazingly SIX MONTHS OLD!  The months have gone by sooo fast and yet have dragged on at the same time {during the sleepless nights!}! He is 14 lbs 13 oz, and on Sunday was diagnosed with his first ear infection… in both ears!  Evidently he wanted to be like his big brother…

Menu Monday

I don’t want to jinx it, but… I’m really enjoying menu planning. I have a system and it’s working.  I can do almost anything if I can find a good system with simple steps to follow.  :)  I’m all about the systems and lists and all that, you know.  Right now my system involves Planning…

Our “Romantic” Getaway

Today is our ANNIVERSARY!  I know it’s trite, but it really is hard to believe that we’ve been married for ELEVEN years.  {I’ve been a married woman for ELEVEN years?  How is that possible?} Due to Chris’s impending job change and Little Davis Man needing to be near his mama we ended up taking an…
