Meal Planning 4/30/12

This is week 18 on creating a meal plan for the week. I have to admit I'm so late in posting this. We are still recovering from the crazy yard sale we had over the week. Wow, that was crazy. On Monday we went out to visit the mall and then came back to do chores. It wasn't until Tuesday morning that we figured out our cat was missing so yesterday was a bit stressful. We found her thankgoodness safe and sound outside at the neighbor's deck. Then I had to make cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party. It's been a full week and it is already Wednesday! Monday: Breakfast: Muffins Lunch fastfood Dinner:Hamburger helper Tuesday:Breakfast Muffins Lunch PB&J and fruit Dinner: Noodles with meatballs Wednesday: Breakfast Muffins…

Dollar Tree: $1 Finds for Housekeeping and All Made in the USA!

Dollar Tree, Uncategorized

This week I ventured out with all 3 kids to the Dollar Tree, PetSmart and then Aldi for some grocery shopping. The kids were wonderful! I was hoping to do everything before lunch time but it was cutting it close. I had to take a break for snacks and then again on our way home before we did lunch. Next time, I promise myself we will leave earlier. I'm a little fearful when the twins start walking because I'm sure they won't want to stay in the stroller. I went to Dollar Tree to check out some cleaning, organizational products, and pick up some yard sale supplies. I was excited to find that they had their version of Oxyclean, a liquid Dishwasher soap and a black cleaning bucket. The best…
