Great Gift Idea!

My boys love to draw! They have a few of those books that teach you how to draw. The books are costly but I have been fortunate to find them on sale at books stores. Last Sunday as I was reading the comics I noticed that they have a little section on how to draw and they feature a cartoon character. I clipped it out. I assume that they do this each week, so my plan is to collect these and then put them in an album. OH YEAH! Christmas gift for zero dollars and zero cents!!!!

Menu Planning Monday

If you want to push my buttons please ask me while I am walking through the door after work and before I am headed out to take everyone to ball practice "WHAT IS FOR DINNER" Well since what ever you can find only gets you so far and a plate full of snacks is more expensive than going out to eat I had to take a long hard look at things. I decided that instead of having my buttons pushed I would come up with a menu post it on the fridge and stick to it no matter what. I have breakfast, lunch and snack on it since hubby and I pack our lunches. Not only does it cut the grocery bill way down it cuts the frustration level way down as well. So no more pushing the lets ask mom what is for dinner and watch how red her face gets and steam comes out of her ears button, I am sure they are huddled up now inventing a new button but for now all is well that ends well!
