I don’t mind cooking. IN fact, sometimes I really love it. I hate trying to decide what to cook. That is why I love to sit down with my family each week and come up with a plan… or find a meal plan online. 🙂 This Easy to Follow Meal Plan contains 3 meals a …
In The Kitchen
When making my weekly meal plan, I like to create things that my children love because that is easier than dealing with picky eaters and complaints. However, I also can’t exist on chicken nuggets and pizza! I need more things, so I am constantly on the hunt for delicious, nutritious, and kid friendly meals. This …
I think February has always been my busiest month. This is why I need to be menu planning now more than ever. Planning out what we will eat is a fun way to spend a bit of time with my guys and find out what they love. Plus, my husband and I can go shopping …
As we near the end of the month, budgets start straining for many of us. That means lots of starches and eating from our freezer and pantry. This week’s End of the Month Meal Plan uses leftovers from the previous five weeks and low-cost ingredients to help you feed your family all the necessary meals while scraping …
Last week, we talked about trying to get our routines and schedules back to normal after the hectic Holiday Season. Now that we are in the first full week of the year, life is back to normal and it is time to tackle those to do list items that have gotten a bit backlogged – …
If your kids are anything like my middle son was way back in 2011 (at age 8), they are going through a cooking phase. Zack started a notebook and wrote down tons of recipes that I make so that he could make them himself. I wonder what ever happened to that notebook? Anyway, when he was …

Things seem to get more expensive each day and with 3 growing boys (2 of which are nearly grown!), it can get downright ridiculous! To make things a little bit easier on everyone, I have compiled 9 simple …
As a busy, work from home, Mom I have gotten into a horrid habit of not getting dressed unless I need to go somewhere. I always have an excuse that I am cleaning or cooking and don’t want to mess up my good clothes. Well, I told my husband over the weekend, that I am …
Every family could use more money in the monthly budget, right? With the rising costs of food, gas, and clothes, it can be tough to save money for the future, especially if you have a large family. And if you have a new baby on the way, it can cost a lot just to get …
One of my trustiest kitchen tools is my apron. I reach for it when I’m cleaning, cooking, and baking. But, some aprons are kind of….blah. They’re definitely practical, but they’re just not very cute to look at. These days, though, there are plenty of affordable and cute aprons to choose from! And, if you want …
The older I get, the faster the year goes! My baby boy will be entering high school this year and the rest of my guys are full-on adults! Where did their childhoods disappear to!? Anyway, this isn’t a post reminiscing about days gone by. LOL! So, I have to prepare. That means getting back to …
When my husband and I first got married, I could cook, but the number of things I could cook were very limited. I wasn’t at the point yet where I would just throw things in a pot and know it would taste good. 🙂 However, I was also super busy – honestly, I think I …
