As most of you know, my husband is the real chef at our house (Little Turkey is the chef in training of course). A couple of years ago he found a half bag of tortilla chips that were stale and decided to use them up. We almost always have pulled chicken in our freezer and since rotel and shredded cheese are staples around here, this nachos recipe was the result. I must say they’re really good, and I love that {Read More}

Some of the neatest gifts I ever received from kids at school were custom gifts. Vistaprint often runs their freebie specials (just pay shipping) this time of year and they are perfect for teacher gifts. I designed this tote bag and these sets of sticky notes this afternoon. With just the tote bag in my cart my total including shipping was $5.52. Then I added one sticky notes pad and it was $5.62! That’s a fabulous price for custom sticky {Read More}

Several years ago I started keeping my to do lists and information I didn’t want to lose – like phone numbers and brainstorms- in a word document or e-mail draft on my computer. I also keep a notebook handy at my desk. All of these options work much better than the aforementioned {Read More}

As I sit down to write the menu for the week, I’m writing out my 4 weekly “to do” lists (personal tasks, blogging tasks, cleaning chores, less common maintenance cleaning tasks). It’s helping me to accomplish things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get them all checked off! Last week I had completed my tasks by Tuesday. Here’s hoping for another productive week. (so far so good!) I’m learning hope doesn’t have much to do {Read More}
