Meal Menu planning...bleh

I added a new link to the blogs I love. I have searched for a resource to help with my menu planning and grocery shopping because my menu gets...well mundane. Not to mention the fact I never thought I would be a person to do menu plans and grocery lists, done listed by the aisle/section. But, turns out it makes grocery shopping a lot easier. Also, it makes putting away the groceries easier once you get home...your cart is practically organized by section and so it is bagged the same, and once you are home it comes out of the sacks together and go in the same places. Convenient, I know...who'da thunk it? (Megan, that's who. You can't tell me that's not who popped into your mind!)
Anyhow...I stumbled upon Eat at Home . Again, I've searched for sites like this but a lot of the good ones charge you a fee to use them. This one is free...so far as I can tell! She provides you with a meal menu consisting of (if I remember right) 2 crockpot meals for busy days, 1 meal that you double up and freeze half of...and others. One night she leaves up to you. So: Meal menu, grocery list, and recipes! It lists all the weeks she's done, you can choose the one you want; the link shows you the meals with links to the recipes or you can just choose the link for printing option and it has the menu, list and recipes all together and ready to print! I am soooooo relieved to have a little help.

I like that link. Now find me one for a single girl. (I mean ... not "single" single, but you know, one that still cooks for herself alone - single.)

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Coming Full Circle - Idaho

Life has run us around a bit, and we have enjoyed the journey.  As Facebook rather took over our lives in regards to blogging, I did not maintain my blog.  I find, however, that I enjoy coming back and reading my blog more than I like perusing old facebook posts.  So I begin again with blogging; for myself more than anything. We have managed, since my last post in 2012, to return home to Idaho.   We spent 5 great years in Colorado!  The kids grew up with the neighbors; McKenzie had horse riding lessons from a young lady named Carrie, in Longmont; she started playing flute in 2nd grade, and in 4th she switched to playing trumpet; Ethan started playing soccer, and Minecraft (video gamer in the making).  We got McKenzie a cat named Diamonds. We got a puppy who we named Ryder.  We got new appliances in the kitchen that I love (double oven, fridge with freezer drawer, etc)!  I mention them, because I am sad to have left them in Colorado.  W...
