Today is another Monday Menu Motivation! What's on your menu this week? I know for some,you will be incorporating some yummy soups, stews and chili recipes. For a lot of the country there has definitely been a change in weather, but not here. It's definitely still feeling like summer in California.

DIY Mirrored Vase and Fall Flower Arrangement

I have been wanting to make these for some time now, but every time I went to my local Dollar Tree, they were out of stock. I happened to go in today to pick up cheap batteries for the kids toys and a couple of Halloween decorations for the house.

Monday Menu Motivation

Welcome to Monday Menu Motivation!

 Monday Menu Motivation is where I share our menu for the week plus some tips and tricks. I told you guys in my past menu post (HERE) that I sit down and plan four weeks of meals in one sitting I, then, grocery shop once a week from my menu. That is true! I try to plan once per month for four weeks at a time. This helps me to see what we have been eating and also helps to have a variety of meals. I don't like eating the same meals over and over again.

Monday Menu Motivation (On Wednesday)

Happy First day of Fall!!

I know it's Wednesday and I'm a little late sharing, but I want to share this week's menu with you. I want to give you just a little motivation for your next week's menu or even a future menu. As I previously stated, I make meal plans once a month and grocery shop from my meals. I'll get into that a little deeper with Monday's post: Monday Menu Motivation.

Dollar Tree Finds (Haul with pictures)

I love the Dollar Tree. I, especially, like shopping for the treasures and organizing materials! I recently went into the Dollar Tree to pick out a couple of things for my son's birthday, We walked down the aisle that usually has the tech related things and spotted lots of DVDs. This aisle doesn't usually have much for us, but this time was different.

Lunch Ideas Your Kids Will Love

Today, I have some lunch ideas your children will love. I know I'm not the only one who gets stumped when it's time to prepare lunches for the kiddies. I have two children that pack for school. My oldest takes a full lunch because he attends school all day. I, also, pack him a snack for snack time in case he gets hungry.

Menu Plan for the week

Its that time of the week again! It's time to share this week's menu. My middle son's birthday is this week and he had a choice of the dinner he wanted and he chose Lasagna. I was surprised by this. Lasagna was never his favorite meal, but he has been watching Garfield with my oldest and they have fallen in love with Lasagna again. I thought it was funny.
