Work in progress Wednesday.
Life is just that it seems a work in progress. Friday is my "big" shopping day. This may sound insane to some but I love the chaos of a 4 cart trip. generally I stock up on our bulk supplies and meat for the month. Generally $800 feeds our family of 6 for 3-4 weeks. That may sound high to some but in our region organic foods are expensive, grass fed hormone free range meat is outrageous but worth it to feed our bodies and minds. My recent conquest is eliminating HFCS from our diets which is proving to be hard but doable. Today I am working on clipping coupons and our menu for the month. Its pretty important to know what your making for the month when you eliminate weekly or daily shopping trips.

Blog Changes...
New year new Ideas! I haven't blogged in a while shame on me! We where with out internet for a while with the move and then switching our service provider. I'm back in action again. This year I will be focusing on two of my favorite hobbies cooking and photography, so expect to see some of that here. I am doing "project 365" and have a different blog for that. I may keep my cooking stuff here or even start another blog for that. Lets see how well I do with the 2 first. Life has been wonderful since our move we just have so much outdoor space a shame its all covered in snow. I look forward to having my first real garden this year. and also look forward to the lots bbq's and outdoor fun with the girls (I'm ready for winter to be over can you tell LOL)

MGR's TWBA for the week of 8.31.09
From Kristin: Do you work better with a routine? Or do you prefer to fly by the seat of your pants? Or maybe it's in between. Post about it. You can post a daily routine. You can post about not having a routine. You can post about how you want a routine. Or how you used to be routined and something happened and you're not. (Not that it's happened to me or anything!)
Uh well, I do try to have somewhat of a Routine, as in meal planning, bedtimes etc. A cleaning routine. but as far as a regimented daily schedule it just never happens kids are unpredictable and trying to follow a set schedule tends to stress me out if I don't follow it. Therefore I am a "fly by the seat of your pants" kinda mama 90% of the time
now just because this is a blog assignment you didn't think you would get away without some form of images.. here is a look at our weekly menu. I post this on the fridge and avoid the MOM WHATS FOR DINNER line..usually LOL
however this is just a guide, meaning we will cook these meals at some point this week we often swap days and tonight eating out we have the kids open house and no time to cook.

Work at Home Wednesday/Thursday
Well it is after midnight LOL
I spent a good chunk of my evening getting my blog set to a fall theme. I know its not quite the fall equinox just yet, but it sure is getting chilly already. If you want to know I personally don't like fall *gasp* only because it means that yucky ol' winter is on its way. For those who know me well know that I have some medical issues one being I'm physically allergic to the cold.. sounds strange I know but google cold urticaria it will blow your mind, you will all want to send me some snugglies! ha! Last year I was also diagnosed with Raynaud's disease. Talk about a double whammy! So my hibernation will begin soon. Every winter I tell dh I want to move to Hawaii and he says he wants to move to Alaska. I can't blame him, he is a chef and works long hours in a hot kitchen everyday. I do though hope God allows us to retire as snowbirds. That would be such a blessing. I always say I'm going to get better about posting more, and I always fail. I have such a busy life and I'm gearing up to re-open my online store soon. I'm no longer going to be on hyena cart moving over to ETSY. I like the set up better, no frills let the merchandise do the talking. I will be offering many of the same products minus the Hyena cart graphics/set-up packages, and a little less on the apparel and tie dye's I love to do that stuff don't get me wrong but I can also admit that many others do it far better than I and I'd rather focus on products that I do well at. I will leave you with some pics of interesting things over the past week or so, and some of new necklaces I made. I will be selling my necklaces and earrings of course.. these are just to cute not to share.
Cady wearing one of my mama made tutu's she will make a better model when she can stand on her own.. this is Mo's tutu but Erynn wanted Cady to try it on lol
Mo just had a pedicure.. I gave her the works, she is blowing on her feet here.
