I have an iron pot rack (is that what it’s called?) on the wall right above my cooktop. Since I started doing Meal Plan Mondays I’ve found that if I put all my recipes and the menu for the week on a clipboard, I can hang it right over the cooktop and it’s handy! The …

 Today, my “Tackle It” is going to have to be working on Sword & Illusion – I’d love to get Chapters 9 & 10 edited. I dearly want this book to be done by the end of March. I’m beginning to think that’s a pipe dream. Also, I need to clean up the kitchen. …
I got this from Perky who got it from here. Have you ever danced under the stars? Define “dancing.” When I was a newlywed, hubby and I did several things “under the stars” but I don’t know if dancing was one of them. Have you ever listened in on a private conversation? I’m a writer. …
It’s interesting. I do this one week and suddenly, even my husband announces on Monday morning, “It’s Meal Plan Day!” So here’s the plan for the week: Monday: O’Brien Sausage Skillet (Jan/Feb 04 Taste of Home) and Apple Cheddar Scones (Aug/Sep 03 Taste of Home) Tuesday: Taco Squares (found online) Wednesday: Fried Chicken Strips (Apr/May …

I talked to the preschool principal yesterday and she said that there are 15 kids a year older than Noah who will be starting kindergarten in the fall so it’s not unusual for kids to wait a year before moving on. She said if he has to repeat kindergarten he’ll actually be repeating whereas “repeating” …
I’ve been trying my hardest to find some order in my life and household, so I’ve been reading a few blogs from moms who are more organized than I am. One of them is I’m an Organizing Junkie. She initiated “Meal Plan Mondays.” This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, …
I threw my back out, somehow, on Saturday, and today is the first day I’ve actually felt like doing anything. There are still some twinges in my back and right hip, but I can walk around and do some housework. I even cooked dinner tonight. Whenever I get over one of these things, illness or …
Thirteen Thoughts 1. Please go over to The Chaotic Home. My friend, Karin, is stressed because her Army husband has been reassigned to Texas from Pennsylvania. She’s only been in PA for 18 months after believing they’d be there for a long time. She needs a little encouragement. 2. I’m feeling better today. Still have …
