Good Monday morning!  Today my husband went back for his scan results and we got good news!  All clear!  So thankful to not have to deal with cancer during this current craziness.  We are doing well and enjoying family time and catching up on school.  It’s been a good season despite the crazy.

This week we plan on letting the kids sleep out in the tent some and enjoy the outdoors.  Looks to be a beautiful week ahead.

Monday: Hamburgers, zucchini, potatoes

Tuesday: Burritos

Wednesday: Breakfast casserole

Thursday: Grilled chicken, black eyed peas

Friday: Leftovers

Saturday: Pizza

Sunday: Ham, mac and cheese, rolls, green beans

Have a great week!  Stay safe!

We need to grab new swimsuits to enjoy the sprinkler on these warm spring days!  Target.com has many of their children’s swimsuits on sale through tomorrow, 4/4.  I’m loving the styles this year!  So cute!!

On many items you can select to pick up at the store or it will ship free with a $35 purchase. Target also has free shipping and an extra 5% off for REDcard holders. You can apply online and it only takes just a couple minutes to find out if you are approved.

Since we are spending more time out in our back yard, we might as well make it more enjoyable.  My kids love getting the hammocks out and relaxing with a book.  My teenage son often will spend the night in his hammock.

Amazon has hammocks for $15.99 and 2 colors to choose from in this particular style.

Hammock Swing Seat – $27.98 shipped!

On Jane.com, you can find this double cushion hammock swing for $27.99 shipped, down from $65!  That is definitely a great deal!  I think that would be a great place to read a book! (Appears to be sold out for now – hopefully it will be back on again soon)

 

This is exciting!  Noggin is offering a FREE 90 day subscription for your family!  I just signed up for ours and we didn’t have to put in a credit card or any information besides my name, email, and creating a password.  It emailed a confirmation link that I had to verify and now my 4 year old is happily watching and playing with his favorite Nick Jr. friends.  What a generous offer!

Happy Monday everyone!  We’ve made it another week here in our “flattening the curve” quarantine.  This  past week went well and we’re still healthy.  We’ve been staying home completely except for a grocery pickup run and of course my husband working.

Today, we are celebrating our 18th anniversary!!! This is definitely not how we planned to spend it, but we are safe, healthy, and that is all that matters.  The week ahead brings more homeschool.  I’m actually really enjoying having everything else cancelled and being able to just focus on school and family.

Here’s what we are making this week –

Monday: Steak from Texas Roadhouse (they are offering for you to purchase their fresh, uncooked meat and prices were decent!), sweet potatoes, asparagus

Tuesday: Chicken Fajita Rice 

Wednesday: BBQ, beans, chips

Thursday: Nachos

Friday: Homemade Pizza

Saturday: Chili

Sunday: Eggs, Biscuits

I’ve seen such cute driveway art lately and I’ve noticed the hashtag #ChalkYourWalk is trending with families. The idea is to create a design for your driveway that will encourage and uplift others.  The kids and I dug out the chalk and went to work!  We were hoping to do a better mosaic design but we quickly were running out of chalk.  I will show you how we did our design though!

For starters, we pulled out painter’s tape.  My oldest got to work making a rectangle and then randomly adding more tape to create design areas.

From there, the younger kids each got a piece of chalk and randomly colored in the shapes.  After it’s filled in, simply pull up the painter’s tape for a fun design!  Note that it will use a LOT of chalk, but it was fun!  I hope it brings some brightness to someone in this challenging season.
