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…

SO Easy Crockpot Applesauce

Okay, so I just have to say, first of all, that this is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever use.  I'm not kidding. Now that that's said... ...we were given free reign of a box of apples the other day.  Actually, we are fortunate enough to have this opportunity just about every week, but Princess Anna has a habit of eating the apples before I can make any applesauce out of them!  This time, I snagged six just for applesauce making. Now when I was younger, applesauce seemed to be such a tedious, long task.  Maybe it's just because…

Work in Progress Wednesday: Summer Activity Calendar

It's cold outside!  If you live up North, you know what I mean. And for some reason, even though my family is from the northern part of the country, I've never gotten used to the cold weather.  I could spend the rest of my life in the south. Brrrrrr! So today, I'm thinking happy, warm thoughts.  In other words...summer... I know it's a bit early, but as I say every year it's never to early to start planning for summer! And even though we don't have any funds right now, I'm going to go ahead and plan for the best; hopefully…

Chaos.

This is our second week without a full-time income. And I'm a planner. I like everything layed out in nice, neat lines. I'm going to come right out and say that I don't know how we're going to pay the bills. Prince Charming is starting a business, and it's a slow start, though he did get some side work the other day. The income we thought we'd have this month...well it hasn't come through and now we don't know when it will. My Etsy shop has been slow, and my hours were cut in half at work. Earning money with…
