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.
  1. I look over the adds and see what's on sale as far as meats.
  2. Pull out cookbooks and start looking for recipes. Always have helpful hands during this part.
  3. Write down the recipes I will be using, what cookbook they are in, and the page number.
  4. Write down all the things I need from the store from the recipe.
  5. Put everything away.
  6. Hang my weekly list on the fridge.
  7. 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...
  1. It has a ton of recipes!
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. Every time I log on I learn something new and wonderful the site can do! 
  5. 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!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
