Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
You’ve been asking for it and it is now, finally here! This week’s menu is maybe even one of my simplest yet. I don’t know if you’ll throw rocks at me or love me! Either way, I’m going to share it because it’s so easy and will save you some serious time. The only problem with this menu is that you have to peel potatoes for 2 of the meals.
Ingredients: Roast Potatoes (Peeled and quartered) Carrots (peeled and halved) One packet of onion soup mix Water Directions: Put contents in slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours. If you cook it on high, your meat will be done, but not quite as tender if you only cook it for 4 hours. If you’d like to prepare this for a freezer to slow cooker meal, you will do as
This is one of those meals that is so cheap to make, why not have it every week? I used to think I didn’t like it as a child, but now, as an adult, it pleases me to realize how I can have a good hearty meal that does not have to eat all the money up and yet tastes delicious! I do not presoak the beans. That is one
My 12 year old’s favorite meal is potato soup! I grew up not liking it very much. That is, until I added cheese to it. Then, it was suddenly delicious. Everything’s better with cheese, right? Slow Cooker Potato Soup 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes 1/3 cup diced celery (optional, we always leave it out) 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 3/4 cup diced cooked ham 3 1/4 cups water
Have you all seen all of the things you can make out of pallets? I keep seeing these things out in cyberland and now, every time I drive by a business, I find myself looking to see if they have any pallets or not. I don’t know why I’m looking though because I think I’m too scared to ask if I can have them! Maybe one of these days, I’ll
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! I hope you’ve enjoyed the e-book that I was able to put together for Valentine’s day ideas. There were some adorable ideas in it from several different blogs! Today, I’m sharing a tutorial! The other day when we went to our Bright Lights girls club, my friend Holly was there to help the girls make their names out of wire. Thankfully, my friends are getting

Because of this, we have not gotten very sick this year! We had our first “bug” last week and thankfully, it was relatively easy, considering how hard some winter time illnesses can be. However, I keep hearing

I’m always on the lookout for new ways to keep my soon-to-be 3-year-old busy while the rest of us are doing school. Otherwise, her many needs turn into interruptions and make it hard for us to get done all that we need to do in school. I don’t want her growing up thinking she’s just a “need” to be met. I want her to feel important, too. I’ve decided to
(This post contains affiliate links) As many of you know, we homeschool our children. One of the many reasons we choose to go this route in their formal education is so that we can direct their spiritual learning and disciplines. We want them to be able to learn about Christ, all throughout their school day and we want Him intertwined in the different school subjects that they’re learning about. One
This is a really simple Valentine card that we made several years ago. My 12 year old daughter decided she didn’t want to give store bought Valentine’s away this year, so she made these up for her friends again. It’s been several years since we made them, so I’m sure they don’t even remember them! Here’s what you need: Construction paper hearts, folded in half Construction paper cut as mouse
It’s Monday again. Yes….Monday, the day we talk about motivation to get healthier! I have decided to discontinue the linky part of Get Motivated Mondays, but I’ll probably continue to write about getting healthy, so long as I can think up new things to write about! Even though I’m not providing the linky party, feel free to share anything you want to in the comments below. I’m all in for
