Well, that’s it!  Our last baby had their first birthday!  Such a bittersweet day!  He had a great time and a great first birthday party.  I think he wasn’t quite sure what all the fuss was about but he loved it anyway!  The week ahead is filled with more school, friend time, and we are finally buying a couch!  Our current couch has lived a good life, but now it’s time to say goodbye.  It will have a new home in a friend’s basement as part of a teen hangout area.

I know I’m really slacking on blogging, but as the kids grow, more and more is needed from mom!  I have a lot of fun reviews coming up for you guys and even some giveaways planned.  Thanks for still reading for a peek into our world.

Here’s meal plan Monday!

Monday: Black beans and rice in the pressure cooker

Tuesday: Porkchops, brown rice, steamed broccoli

Wednesday: Unstuffed Pepper Medley

Thursday: Meatloaf, salad

Friday: Chicken Alfredo

Saturday: Taco Salad

Sunday: Pizza with our community group.

What are you making this week?

If I had to describe this past week as something, I would just say it was crazy.  So many unexpected things and chaos swirling all about.  Here’s to hoping for a more smooth week this week.  This week we have another busy week that ends with our youngest, Simon, turning 1.  I can’t believe he will be 1 on Friday.  I am so thankful that God saw fit to give us one more son.

Monday: Poppy seed chicken, salad

Tuesday: Burgers, asparagus with mushrooms, brown rice

Wednesday: Slow cooker crack chicken, okra

Thursday: Lazy Day Enchiladas, salad

Friday: Pancakes, eggs, and bacon

Saturday:  Leftovers!

Sunday: Dinner at church

It’s Monday!  I’m so thankful that my husband had this past weekend off so we could have some much needed family time.  Over the weekend, we celebrated my nephew’s 8th birthday!  This week ahead is another one loaded full of homeschool adventures, gymnastics, library trips, a baby shower for a friend and another birthday party for a friend!  Seems that the older the kids get, the more we have to do!  I love the busyness but thankful for calmer days.  Here’s what we plan to make this week:

Monday: Beef and zucchini

Tuesday: Chicken, Steamed Veggies

Wednesday: Potato Soup

Thursday: Chicken, brown rice

Friday: Fajitas

Saturday: Taco Pie

Sunday: Crock Pot Chicken

Fun at Funopolis

Fun at Funopolis

Well last week was weird.  Honestly, I didn’t get to my meal plan except maybe 1 or 2 days. It was a very busy 2nd week of school, my husband had mandatory overtime, and for most of the week, it was just fix yourself whatever or pour a bowl of cereal.  We all have weeks like that!  This week, I’m going to try to get back in the groove of things.

MO-monday

Monday: Pizza

Tuesday: Lazy Day Enchiladas

Wednesday: Chicken and Mushrooms in the Crockpot with broccoli

Thursday: Lazy Lasagna

Friday: Grilled Chicken, brussel sprouts, brown rice

Saturday: Dinner at nephew’s birthday party

Sunday: Fried Rice

What do you plan to make this week?

Thirteen

 

What a wonderful weekend!  We started off with a trip to Funopolis for a review, so I’ll be posting more on that later.  Then, we celebrated my oldest daughter turning 13 with her friends.  She had a Fiesta and we made a fun piñata cake.  It’s a cake with candy in the middle – so much fun!

Busy weekend here!  Did a lot of running around and prepping for school to start.  We are starting school today since my kids are weird and keep begging to start.  We always kick off our school year by having breakfast at Ideal Bagel.  If you haven’t been there, they have the best bagels!  The baby kept eyeballing our bagels – he definitely was a little envious!

I’ll be making fairly simple meals this week so we can fully focus on school.

MO-monday

Monday: Cheesy Bacon Chicken, salad

Tuesday: Crockpot Chicken Quesadillas 

Wednesday: Taco Pie, salad

Thursday: Hamburgers, broccoli, brown rice

Friday: Jalepeno Pork Roast, brussels

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Fiesta for my daughter’s 13th birthday party!

Great weekend!  My husband was off so we enjoyed some much needed family time which involved garage cleaning and picnics.  It’s getting closer and closer to time to start school again.  We are treasuring these days without school.

Today we officially close on the house we’ve been wanting to sell after getting renters out of it.  I will never rent another house again!  What a pain that was!  Huge thanks to Laura Flanders Real Estate for helping us get it sold!  I will breathe easier once those final documents are signed.

Monday: Steak, veggies

Tuesday: Kielbasa, brussel sprouts, brown rice

Wednesday: Hamburgers, okra

Thursday: Make your own dinner

Friday: Lazy Day Enchiladas

Saturday: Grilled Chicken, Loaded Hasselback Zucchini 

Sunday: Caprese Chicken Sandwiches, Salad

Happy Monday yall!  Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  My youngest is getting even more teeth and he looks so silly sometimes!  Thought you all would enjoy the photo!

I can’t believe that school is about to start again!  I spent most of the weekend working on my homeschool plans for next year.  Schedules made, checklists made, community classes scheduled, extracurricular plans made, it’s a lot to balance.  I think I’m there now, though.   Now on to planning food for the week!

Monday: Lazy Lasagna – from page 140 in the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, salad

Tuesday: Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, salad

Wednesday: Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner!

What a weekend.  I didn’t sleep well at all, but I was thankful to have my husband home.  On Friday, we took our middle child to the American Girl store to pick out her very first AG doll!  It was so much fun and we enjoyed the family time! Her birthday is Tuesday.  Can’t believe she will be 7!  This week is another crazy busy summer week filled with adventures.  Keeping dinner fairly simple this week and going to try to get back on the Trim Healthy Mama bandwagon.

Monday: Southwest Chicken in the Crock Pot

Tuesday: Chick-Fil-A for Cow Apprecation Day!

Wednesday: Grilled Chicken, Zucchini Fritters

Thursday: Dinner out with friends!

Friday: Deconstructed Pizza Casserole and salad

Saturday: Bacon Burger Cabbage Stirfry

Sunday: Leftovers or fix your own dinner.

Hope you have a great week!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!  Wow this year is flying by fast!  All 4 of my older kids were in the Colbert Fourth of July parade on Saturday and it was a busy but fun weekend.  Right now we are in the mountains of Dahlonega for a few days.  Enjoying the horses and swimming and getting ready for the fireworks tonight!
