I haven’t written anything about our recent move. By “recent” I mean, we’ve been in our new place for three nights now. We decided that while the house we had been renting for the past year was fine, since my mother-in-law moved back to California we just really didn’t need that much space. Also, . . . → Read More: Menu Plan – First Week in (Another) New Home

I’ve got a short busy week ahead. A few things going on each day and I’m getting on a plane (again) to take Jesse out to California to visit his brother and our family. We leave on Friday morning and come back late next Tuesday night.

I’ve baked quite a few snacks over the last couple days. . . . → Read More: Menu Plan: July 5

Jason and I had a very nice early anniversary celebration. Our friend Melissia came over to hang out with Jesse and Uncle Frank while we went to finally see Iron Man 2 and have a nice steak dinner, just the two of us. We did that on Saturday, two days before our anniversary.

It’s become clear to me that I am not a morning person anymore. I’ve reverted to my night owl tendencies and that’s just the way it’s going to be. I’m cool with that. But it means that I really don’t feel like making breakfast in the morning. Most of the time we have cereal, toast, quick . . . → Read More: Menu Plan: June 14

I got back from California around 2 am a week ago but couldn’t bring myself to menu plan right away. Jason had done a good job while I was gone and the house wasn’t completely empty of ingredients for “winging it” meals, so that’s what we did.

However, it’s been a week now and even though I’m . . . → Read More: Menu Plan: First Week of June

Finally, another menu plan! I took the month of April off from planning our meals. Since Jesse was born on April 2nd I didn’t have a chance to get anything planned. When we came home from the hospital Jason took over the cooking. The first week of May had Jason back at work and me back . . . → Read More: Menu Plan, May 2010

I am so excited for March… my favorite guy under 5 feet tall is coming home!! Jeremy’s been with his dad in California since New Year’s Eve and he’s finally coming home on March 15th. I can hardly contain myself!

I’ve been slacking on paying proper attention to this blog. I’m very sorry and fully intend to . . . → Read More: Menu Plan: Month of March 2010

Well, this month Jason is switching shifts at work. Instead of being on the 4 pm – 2 am shift he’ll be moving over to the midnight – 7 am shift. It’ll allow him to take on Watch Captain duties, get scheduled on more flights, and get more things done for his next promotion. All good . . . → Read More: Menu Plan, month of February 2010
