I’ve been thinking about saving up my lunch posts and doing a big post on Fridays to re-cap the week’s lunches. I’ll probably do something like that, but I wasn’t liking that yogurt picture that is the first thing up on my homepage right now. Therefore, we get two lunches today! Lunch #1 includes Easy […]

Turning lemons into lemonade
Or at least a failed attempt at Tzatziki into a super yummy dinner! I can’t say it was a complete failure, but I got nervous that it wouldn’t be the same so we ended up purchasing some before we served our gyros last week for the baptism. Then I had a huge container of my […]

Today marks the crossover to that couponer
I felt a little crazy today. As I was going through our Sunday paper cutting out coupons, I came across a $1 off El Monterey product coupon. I thought back to the case of $0.45 burritos at Walmart and that’s when I feel like I went a little off the deep end… I got Hubby […]
This is our bathroom when we moved into our house in 2009. Notice that awkward white square on the middle of the left wall? The laundry chute. If you have one, do you use it? When we first looked at this house I thought a chute sounded like a great idea to get our laundry […]
Today’s lunch: cubed rotisserie chicken, wheat thins, cheese, and a yogurt parfait. The yogurt is in a jelly jar to prevent spills and the rest is in a container from the Target dollar bin. I had this Special K cereal that just wasn’t my thing and we’ve had it sitting in the pantry for a […]

Just made tomorrow’s school lunch. An alternative to a boring ol’ sandwich. She has Easy Chicken Salad in a tortilla with romaine lettuce, two celery stalks cut into pieces, a few pretzels and, sitting in a small silicone bowl, half of a Clementine. To decorate the top of the container for a little more fun, […]
baptism | bread fail | Bread making | gyros | removing moisture | Tzatziki | yogurt to Greek yogurt
Two moments of domestic genius and one huge fail!
Today was spent preparing for my little one’s baptism tomorrow. The two little ones went to their grandparents and the rest of us got to work. While the others cleaned, I had some major food prep to attend to. We’re serving gyros, and I had to prepare the onions and peppers and attempt a Tzatziki […]
That’s the Momma’s silent yell of victory!!! Both kids slept at the same time and gave Mom TWO hours to get things done! This is definitely something to be celebrated!
