Here we are again! I stuck to the menu plan for the most part. Saturday and Sunday were the only days we got off track. We were really busy working on the bathroom remodel this weekend. We ate out twice and the rest of the meals were eaten whenever someone got hungry.
Here’s how our week […]
I came down with stomach flu last Monday evening. Later on in the week, we had to deal with a broken sump pump and problematic septic system. This weekend we found ourselves knee deep in a impromptu bathroom remodel due to water damage. Consequently the menu plan went out the window! Here’s hoping that this […]
While shopping at our new Ikea last Friday, I spied the
Sloam line of glass jars. I purchased two that day-the tall 68 oz jar for spaghetti and a 61 oz jar to store oatmeal. I buy the old fashioned oatmeal at Costco and the open bag makes a mess in the cupboard. As I […]
I’ve been slacking on menu planning lately and hope that making it public will keep me more honest. It really does simplify the week. It also saves me from answering the question my kids (especially my teenager) ask every day “Mom, what’s for dinner?” If its posted on the frig, they can check for themselves.

Breakfast […]
Remember way back 100 years ago when I told you about the
shelf I ordered for my kitchen? It came a couple weeks ago. I wanted to live with it for awhile before I blogged about it.
Here’s how it looks in my kitchen. Its not crooked. I just can’t take good pictures!
I would rather have […]
Inspired by
Laura’s work in her spice cabinet, I went to Meijer today in search of baskets. I hit the organization jackpot.
I liked the white wire baskets with handles but couldn’t figure out how much they were. I took one to a scanner at the end of the aisle. It rang up for 49 cents! […]
After thinking more about
recipe organization yesterday, I came to the same conclusion as
Rebecca. I don’t like writing recipes on cards. This is precisely why my recipe box is stuffed with papers ripped from magazines or printed off the internet. A 3 ring binder will be a much better fit for me.
We have some […]
Tis the season to get the kitchen organized! Laura has us
organizing in the kitchen this month. Julie has some great ideas for getting your
recipes organized.
I desperately need to get my recipe box in order. I planned to use a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond to get a nice wooden box […]
I love my house but there are a couple things about it that annoy me. Isn’t that true of every house though? I have a semi related post to that statement at
Ward and June but I digress…
One of the things that really annoy me is the lack of counter space in my kitchen. On […]
In a fit of frustration recently I told my husband that we either needed to make space work better in our home or we needed to sell it because we’ve outgrown it. Obviously making space work better is cheaper than buying a new house so he started poking around to find ways to ease my […]
