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 was busy busy busy! But it was a good week.

At our house the kids are back in school 3 days a week and we’re trying to get back into the groove of our schedules.

I’ve found that the best way to get things done is to do them in advance and that’s where my crockpot comes in. If {Read More}
