Hello dear friends!  I hope you all are doing well this week!  I am in the mood to ramble, so I hope you’ll bear with me a little.   Mom Ramblings posts share a little about what is currently going on in my life at the moment and give you many little shortened versions of what I’m up to!  I hope you enjoy…and feel free to ramble a little to me in the comment section.  I’d love to hear from you!

  1. We started school today.  Finally.  I think we’re the last of our homeschool buddies to jump on the wagon.  It went well.  We are starting slowly…..not doing all subjects in one day quite yet!  My brain was a bit mush, just from answering all the math questions.  We’ll find our groove again.  We always do!
  2. My 15 year old son is playing football for a local Christian school.  I drive him there, 15 minutes each way, almost every day.  I’ve been doing it for 3 weeks now and I think I’m finally getting used to the schedule disruption.  Maybe.
  3. My one year old made doing school very difficult today!  I think he’s teething again because he’s drooling like crazy!  I need to find some fun activities to keep him busy near me while I’m helping the other kids.
  4. Our washer & our dryer are in need of repair.  We have a front loader and one of the little plastic agitators broke off.  The door to the dryer won’t stay closed.  I ordered the new parts and they’re $80.  I sure hope they fix them!
  5. Remember when I cleaned out my dishwasher?  Now it’s doing something new….it seems the top shelf doesn’t get washed.  Everything on top comes out greasy.  Any clue as to what would cause that?
  6. My little baby is trying to walk!  He did turn one on June 29th…but he’s been taking his time on taking some steps.  Every night he tries a few more and you should see the look on his face!  He’s so proud of himself!!
  7. I’m about to embark on a new weight loss journey.  I’m going to be grabbing some bloggers to come along with me for the ride!  We’ll all be detailing our progress once a week, starting September 10th.  I’m looking forward to having YOU to keep me accountable!
  8. The farmer that farms the fields surrounding our house is fertilizing tonight.  We were all holding our breath and trying not to gag on the way to the van!  So thankful for air conditioning tonight!
  9. Hair cut day is tomorrow!  I schedule them for every 8 weeks.  I get mine cut and I usually bring 1-2 girls along as well.
  10. Speaking of hair cuts, my little one year old needs one and I keep putting it off.  We cut the boys’ hair in our family….and I can’t bear to do it.  Although, I’m afraid that he’s going to start being mistaken for a girl if I’m not careful!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
