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! I’m starting to notice that I get sidetracked easily (ok, so I’ve always been easily sidetracked) and end up doing other chores around the house. (yeah, chores- that’s {Read More}

Updated with my Walgreens shop I wasn’t able to find the Softsoap bar soap that was on sale at CVS (this store didn’t carry it) so I got a raincheck to try at another store. Unfortunately it’s written for just 1, so I’ll still have to make it to another store this week The Revlon eye shadow was $5.29 but I decided to just get it rather than hunt it down later in the week at another store.

I’m sort of having a boycott work day. To be honest- after being dehydrated Sunday and Monday and being gone nearly all day on Tuesday, my house is finally starting to bother me. I’m going to go outside and ride bikes with little Turkey and play in the yard for awhile, then tackle my kitchen this afternoon while he takes a whininess mandated nap. Who knows, I may end up tackling the blinds too- or maybe just the bag {Read More}

This month it’s all about chicken folks! Not only is chicken a moderately priced source of protein (I usually buy boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.29/lb every couple of months and stock up) but it’s also one of the healthiest meats available. Chicken works well in many dishes. It’s also easy to cook in advance and have frozen into recipe sized portions ready to cook with at a moment’s notice. We’re even giving away 40lbs. of Zaycon chicken too! Thanks {Read More}
