The Best Meal-Planning Website Ever!

Thank you so much to All This Grace and Charm who shared this wonderfully easy way to meal plan.

Normally this process is very long for me.

I look over the adds and see what's on sale as far as meats.
Pull out cookbooks and start looking for recipes. Always have helpful hands during this part.
Write down the recipes I will be using, what cookbook they are in, and the page number.
Write down all the things I need from the store from the recipe.
Put everything away.
Hang my weekly list on the fridge.
Head to the store.

Now that I found How Does She Do It it's not that time consuming anymore.

I made up categories after watching her four minute video from her ideas. I went through the recipes (still am actually but had to stop and write this so I could share the wonderful website) and started adding them to my lists. I'm going to keep going through the recipes for now and then I'm going to make my list for the week. I'm not heading out to the store though today because of the snow outside so hopefully I will on Saturday or Sunday depending on how much snow we get.

Here are a few reasons I love this site...

It has a ton of recipes!
It meal plans for all meals not just dinner! This in turn will help me plan healthy breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners for our whole family! I can plan lunches for M to take to work as well as lunches that I will be making for us at home! Love it!
It puts everything I need on a shopping list for me. I can then either delete things that I know I already have or print it out head to the pantry and mark off everything I already have. This will be great once I start getting a stock pile built up from coupons!
Every time I log on I learn something new and wonderful the site can do!
IT'S FREE!!!!!!! Yep all this help and it doesn't cost me a penny!

Seriously, check out How Does She Do It and see how it can help you and your family! I know I'm going to love it! It even has Gluten Free recipes for my readers that have those needs too!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the Three Wise Men Gifts but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX! Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!? Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex! First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years. Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like Mrs. T, Naturally is talking about. I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------> (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
