Before we get started, I just want to say that I feel a little odd writing basically a diary-type post - focused on me and what I'm doing. But I hope that you can find inspiration in what I'm doing and know that everyone's goal and goal setting process looks different. So, January first has come Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again. Oh, you know what I mean. The time of year when you can’t take your kids into the store with you because the entry way is lined with toys they want. Those stores know exactly how to get parents to buy. And of course, it’s not just toys lining the entry - they know Keep Reading
...And just like that, Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Yesterday my sister in law sent out her annual Thanksgiving dinner invitation, and we all started planning our contributions. Which means I need to start planning the logistics our trip to Nashville, and how we’re either going to Keep Reading
Fall is a special time in Texas. It’s not too hot (most of the time), but it’s also not too cold - and we get rain, which we may or may not have seen in the summer months. The leaves may be falling and dying, but for us, it’s a time of rejuvenation. It’s time for adventures. One of our big Keep Reading

This week’s meal plan is full of simple, easy meals, and even features a couple of slow cooker dishes since everybody’s so busy right now with school ending, and t-ball (and other sports) going on, and for me personally, traveling this coming week. We all have different busy days, so what I Keep Reading

It’s that time again! Most grocery stores put out their sales flyers on Wednesday morning, which makes middle-of-the-week meal planning convenient - that way I have 3-4 days to get my (grocery shopping) ducks in a row before the new week. In last week's meal plan post, I shared how much easier Keep Reading
Let’s face it, life is easier when you have a plan. Even when (and it really is when, not if) you get off track, at the very least, a plan gives you guideline, and a helping hand toward getting back on track. As a mom, homeschooling my kids, taking care of the house and small farm, plus running Keep Reading
