Work in Progress Wednesday: Monthly Menu Planning

I was so excited this morning to find out that we have food money.  I don't think I've ever been so excited about something so seemingly small, but we've really been struggling, and I am so thankful that we can finally put food on the table without worrying about eating the same thing every day or if there will be enough for all of us. I was so excited, in fact, I wasted no time in setting up our menu for the next month.  The money will last us about a month, so I planned from today's date for about…

It’s Still Winter: A Bucket List and Some Other Things…

It's raining today. And icy. And gloomy. I am naturally a pessimist, but I don't like gloom.  I don't like dark and dreary and things dragging me down and negativity.  I think that's because I know that, the more I'm around it, the more it brings me down.  And the longer I'm down the worse I get.  So needless to say, since I can't control the weather, I'm feeling somewhat gloomy.  Like an Eeyore.

This is a great recipe for a really cold day--especially if you…

Week in Review: Week of February 1, 2015

Well it's another busy week here at the Making the Mosthousehold.  To illustrate how I'm feeling right now, imagine making waffles for 4 girls (and me!  Prince Charming is eating breakfast with the men's group) and writing a blog post at the same time.  Yep.  That's about how things are going.  Hectic and multi-faceted.  (Does that word fit?  It feels like it fits.)  Well, regardless, here's what I accomplished this week: Spiritual: Devotions (4/7) Mental: Read 30 minutes Spend 1 hour to myself Physical: Exercise 2 days (Darn snow) No seconds (hey--slow and steady wins the race!) Serving sizes Family: Devotions with Prince…
