I’m exhausted and I honestly couldn’t tell you why. Yes, the kids had both a swim meet and a baseball tournament this weekend, but I didn’t have to do much for either other than get the kids’ ready at the right times for swim and go to baseball. Maybe it’s that I didn’t sleep wellContinue reading “Not Feeling It”

So despite last week’s meal plan, there’s still so much in our freezers. So we’re going to have some more from the freezer and some I’m cooking fresh. Next weekend we have a swim meet for all three kids and a baseball tounament for Declan so I’m trying to cook enough to last us throughContinue reading “There’s Still More?”

Somehow I’ve managed to stock my freezer more full than ever and I have no room for any more. I don’t have much raw meat or ingredients, but have a ton of fully prepped meals. So this week is literally, everything out of the freezer week (except today for Easter). Here’s what we’ve got: TonightContinue reading “Freezer Clean Out”

So Declan’s baseball team came into today’s bracket as the lowest seed. They played 4 games in 11 hours and ended up winning the whole thing. This means I’m both exhausted and excited tonight so all our meals are going to be super easy and brainless. Here’s what we’ve got on the plan so far:Continue reading “Champions!”

After an amazing week with Nana, we are going to have to try hard to get back into the routine this week. We have so many leftovers and more in the freezers. I’m not sure Nana is used to this much food everywhere. Hahaha. We do still have plenty in the freezers and fridge, butContinue reading “So Much Food…”

Woohoo!! Nana is here. Writing this post a little late bc I was all wrapped up in getting ready for Nana’s visit. This is the first time she sees the kids in over a year. It will be so hard without Pop, but the kids are over the moon excited. This week’s plan is aContinue reading “Nana Is Here!”

We have finally almost made it to Spring Break. Three and a half more days for these kiddos. Swim starts their Break on Wednesday too so we’ll only have baseball practices. I’m not sure we know what to do with ourselves with such a quiet schedule. Sorry this post is a day late, we hadContinue reading “Midterms and Spring Break”

Well, this week is definitely going to be a little nuts. The kids all are swimming a meet today. The girls are at one and Declan’s at a different one so we’re juggling a lot. Then swim will start to wind down for a couple weeks as short course season wraps up and baseball isContinue reading “Swim Meets and Baseball Tournaments”

So those snow storms hit last week just like they were planning. We had rolling blackouts where we only had power for 30-45 minutes at a time, dripping faucets that we were lucky didn’t freeze and no wifi which was beyond frustrating both for Brent who was trying to work and the kids who wereContinue reading “Time for a Do Over”

Well, we’re either going to get snowed in for an eternity or we’re not and everyone will laugh at me. Either way, I did my meal planning and shopping a little early this week just in case (which probably means we won’t get any snow, of course). Sunday – Probably Ham and Cheese stuffed ChickenContinue reading “Snow Storms?”
