  • Household Binder

    This morning I have been working on our household binder.  I’ve put off cleaning it up and getting it organized for quite some time.  It’s not in it’s final form yet, but I think it’s the way I want to use it.  I will use it for a month or two and then make it…

  • A Plan. Really?

    Remember that corner I showed you?  Yep, that one.  Well it no longer looks so bad. Let me explain myself. I make a plan.  A great plan.  Then I rebel against the plan.  What? It seems I need to use an informal approach to getting things done around here.  What is that, you ask?  I…

  • The cleaning out the refrigerator freezer, meal plan.

    I KNOW!!  Some exciting stuff right there in the title.  Stay with me though.  Or not.  Ha!! I’m heading to the kitchen to see what’s in that one freezer.  I’ll be right back.

  • Meal Plan Jan 16 – 22, 2012

    Saturday mornings are usually big breakfast mornings.  Last weekend was no different.  We had scrambled eggs (using bacon grease), bacon, and cinnamon roll waffles.  I saw on the WWW that waffle irons were being used to make brownies, and chocolate chip cookies and, well almost anything with that consistency.  So I put my refrigerator tube…

  • Clutter and Disorganization are the Opponents

    This mess is ALL mine.  No one else can be blamed but me.  I can’t believe I’m putting this out there for the whole wide world to see.  But I have a plan.  Update:  This corner no longer looks this way.  Yay!!  But, I don’t have a post to show yet. I feel like a…

  • Meal Plan 1/2 – 1/8/12

    I’m participating in the Pantry Challenge that Jessica from Good Cheap Eats is hosting this month. My goal is to use up some of the older items in the freezers and the on the shelves. I’d also like to use those “odd” things I’ve bought and now can’t remember why. After Christmas, the pocketbook isn’t…

  • Beginning of a New Year!!
