March 29th - April 3rd

I am so happy it is beginning to feel like Spring here in Minnesota!  Last week went pretty well, but I was not home for any of the meals.   Work was crazy and I was trying to meet my deadlines.   This week will be very similar.  I am home every morning until our PCA comes after she is done with classes.  So hopefully I will get alot done each morning and work for at least 6 hours at the office eaach evening.   So I might have to change my menu up a bit, as I need things hubby can just throw in the oven in my absence. 

I made two new things last week and both were hits!!   The kids all really like the Broccoli Casserole.  It was very easy to make.  I went to a friends house on Friday night and made the Sandwich Ring for everyone before I left.  They said it was really good, but I will have to make two or three in the future if it is going to be a Friday Movie Night Meal.

March 22nd - 28th

Last week went well, I made all but one of my planned meals.  I did not try any new recipes last week.  My work life it just too busy and I am getting home too late.  I am trying to stretch my monthly grocery shopping to last an extra week.  Today, we went to Walmart and purchased some dog food and a few groceries (millk) to make it until the 10th of April.   I spent approximately $55.00, which I thought was pretty good.   I still need to buy a couple of things, but that should total less than $10.00 or less.

Last weekend, hubby and  I went to the Magnuson Christian School Gala.   It was a very successful fundraiser for my son's school.  We won two items in the silent autcion.  We won a night at the Rivertown Inn in Stillwater.  It is a very nice Bed and Breakfast.  I have always wanted to stay at the B&B so I am looking forward to it.   We hope to take advantage of this some time this summer when we can enjoy some time wandering around Stillwater.   We will have to see if Josh will watch Tommy for us.   I also purchased a bed at the "Girl's All About Me Retreat" and will be heading up to Starbuck with a group of moms!

Love,
