Wrap It Up

Today is supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, but I have been meaning to post things every day this week so today it will be Wrap Up Wednesday.

Menu Monday

So far the No Eating Out is going pretty well for J & I!  The only time we have eaten out over the last 2 ½ weeks (and we paid) was a date day lunch at a Japanese place and donuts this last Sunday for our drive down to Stuttgart for church.

I can’t say that I have noticed any savings yet, but it has been nice knowing what is for dinner each night and having everything set out and ready to go the night before. 

The only (somewhat) downside is that I am doing all the work even though this was J’s bright idea!  I have made the menus, bought the groceries, and have done all the cooking and most of the cleaning!!  What’s up with that!  I don’t guess I should really complain.  It was at least 3 months or so after M was born before I did any cooking!  But next week will be J’s!  J

I am excited today that I found out about a local business that makes homemade meals everyday for $8 a person.  I figure this could be the best solution for those days that we really just don’t have time to cook, but we can still get a home cooked meal and not something fast food for about the same price.  They send out a menu every Sunday with the menu for each day.  There are a couple this week that sound really good.  I am sure we will probably try this soon and I will let you know how it is!

Tackle it Tuesday

There are always a million things on my list to try and get done each week.  I am totally a list maker and LOVE when I can mark though each item!  Before M, I would get a little stressed if by the end of the week most of the stuff hadn’t been marked off, not so much these days.  I’ve learned to do what I can, things can wait!  Here are a couple of the bigger things on the list for now…

1.       Organize all of M’s photos

2.       Finish up the remodel in the living room (this whole project has been going on for almost 2 months now!) so that we can move on to the dining room!  I want this done before the holidays!

3.       Order M’s Halloween costume

4.       Clean the house

5.       Bathe the dogs

6.       SLEEP
