Phew, doing a weekly meal plan for a family of 6 is hard work. Keeping it interesting and new is even harder. Since starting my weekly meal planning I’ve compiled over 120 weeks of meals. WOW. Impressive, I know right? But when you’re cooking for 6 people, you can’t get home at 5pm from music… Continue reading Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan

Life is Good #100
A while back I started gratitude journals for Brent and I and the 2 older kids. You can read about it more HERE.

Girl Power
There has been a lot of talk about bullying in the news lately. Every week I turn on the TV and see another story about an extreme case of bullying that ends in suicide.

Tattoo Tuesday – New York Ink
It’s tattoo tuesday! This tattoo is on my outer arm just above my wrist. It’s my take on a very popular tattoo image making the rounds on Pinterest using the word “love”.

Tattoo Tuesday – Happy Anniversary
I get asked alllllll the time about my tattoos and really, why shouldn’t I be asked? I have quite a few tattoos and since I’ve started migrating them down the fronts of my arms, they’re far more visible and by nature people are curious.

Sh*t I Say @ The Dinner Table
Let me start off by saying that I love (love, love, love) my kids but there are a couple of times a day that I love them a little tiny bit less. One of those times would be dinner time. One of these days I should set up a camera and record the dinner table… Continue reading Sh*t I Say @ The Dinner Table
Dirty Dishes: Easy Stuffed Portobellos
I was at Costco last week and decided on an impulse to buy a 6 pack of portobello mushrooms. What? An impulse buy at Costco doesn’t always have to be a new set of luggage. You’re welcome honey! So once I had the mushrooms at home, I had to figure out what to do with… Continue reading Dirty Dishes: Easy Stuffed Portobellos
