Menu Monday (on Wednesday)

Hello Friends....I'm a few days late and a lot of dollars short....My goal was to have my menu posted on Monday (hence the name) but with the weather we have experienced here and the kiddies being off school, hopes don't really follow reality. But I guess late is better than skipping it completely. Our menu for the week:

Monday: Stuffed chicken breasts, mac and cheese and sweet peas

Tuesday: Hamburgers with sauted mushrooms and onions, beans and tater tots

Wednesday: Chicken, scalloped potatoes, and mixed veggies

Thursday: Tortilla crusted Tilapia, rice and salad

Friday: Steak, caramelized onions, baked potato, salad

Saturday: Pizza night

Sunday: Pioneer Woman's Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika, cornbread

Enjoy!

My 2011 Reading List

I don't know where I find the time to read, but it is one of my favorite things to do. I find if I keep a book with me, I am able to find a few minutes each day to indulge. In the carpool line, in the doctor's office, in the checkout line, at the kids practices. So I bring to you my 2011 reading list. I know that it may seem a bit grandiose to think I can read a book a month this year with 3 kiddies under my feet, but I like a good challenge. I am 3/4 of the way through my January pick with 1 day left in the month. Hopefully I can complete it in early February and breeze through February's pick.

(so far an amazing read!)

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God--Francis Chan

Wow...has it really been a year??

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in a year....however, it was a really busy year. We have moved twice , added another baby to the family and hubby has started working ridiculous hours at work. So needless to say, blogging has taken a back seat. My goals for this year include blogging much, much, much more (shouldn't be too hard since last year involved a whopping 3 posts). So I guess I will start with a resolution list of sorts. Posting my goals for this 2011 year and asking you to hold me accountable. Here it goes:

• Blog on a weekly basis
• Post my 2011 Reading list
• Menu Mondays
• Join in on an organizing challenge

That's a good start...I will add more as I set loftier goals for myself and family.

Can't wait to share!!
