Since we are slowly getting over our colds, we didn't do any of our grocery shopping over the weekend like we normally do.  I didn't even come up with our dinner plans until Monday.  Here's the plans for dinners this week:

We did have a plan for our meals last week, but when a cold hits your family meal plans go out the window.  Here's what we had planned for dinners last week:

Another recipe I found via Pinterest and it's made in a crock pot/slow cooker.  I love meals that are cooked in a crock pot.  Just toss everything in the pot and walk away!  I found this recipe via The Country Cook.

We are always looking for new playgrounds to take Michael to.  This way he's not tired of the same park.  Growing up, there was only about three parks I played at.  Michael is so lucky to be growing up in an area

Today was the first day of taking Michael to school without Jon and I finally got some much needed ME time.  I had made a goal of trying to work on stuff around the house that I normally can't work on while
