mindful
I have been known to be a bit of a scatterbrain. I start a zillion things but I don’t always finish everything I start. I usually am “working” on 3 or more things at a time. A.D.D. anyone?!?! Ok, I have never been diagnosed but I have definite tendencies. So, for the first time in [...]
my menu will keep me sane
This week is crazy busy. It is finally the last week of school and the kid’s birthday and my seniors’ graduation and we are going away next weekend and I have to fit in gym-time and I have to get in my morning runs. The next five days are crucial. It is almost a test [...]
mindful menu plan – week of 6.13.10
It is a busy week and I honestly do not know how we can do everything. And, next week is already shaping up to be just as busy. This always happens at the end of the school year but this year my cousin and my little brother are graduating 8th grade and I have been [...]
mindful menu – week of may 31, 2010
Thanks to all the men and women who have served this great country! Memorial Day is one of Big Man’s favorite holidays. Do you have any idea how many war movies there are on TV this weekend?!?

Menu planning has been a huge part of my success…I am taking my planning to other aspects of healthy living. Since I started going out of the house for workouts, planning is [...]
happy mother’s day & the weekly menu
Even on Mother’s Day one must plan the weekly menu. Knowing I must link to Jenna’s menu roll and knowing that I fall apart without a menu plan make this a necessity. A Mom’s work is just never done!! On the Menu this week: Sunday ~ Country Ribs, Mac & cheese, and a salad Monday [...]
mindful menu – week of 5.2.2010
Sunday: Pork Tinga a la Rick Bayless Monday: Shrimp Scampi Florentine. I am following this recipe but I am going to make this pesto for it and not use a jar like the recipe actually calls for. I am not exactly sure about the pesto part – pesto is not my fave but I have [...]
weekend ramblings and a weekly menu
This is going to be a very spastic post full of my ramblings. *BIG MAN started a new job Thursday. He has been out of work for nearly two years and Thursday was a long day. The alarm went off at 5:00 in the bloody morning. A lot of adjustments need to be made to [...]
