Letter of the week!

I mailed my letter for this week today. I'm really excited about this one. It is not hand made, but it has a cute little gift in it. Since I'm saving lots of money these days, I am trying to pass it along to others. A friend of mine just had a baby, so I sent her a note full of diaper coupons! How fun!!

Monday Meanderings

I'm also behind on this post, but here are my goals for this week!

Bible Study: continue reading my one year bible and begin study for April girl's retreat

Must do: menu plan (below), pay house payment, mail one letter

Taking care of my home: clean entire house (it is out of control), catch up on laundry, and work on basement

Reading: my goal is to finish "Plain Truth" (only 70 pages to go)

Broadway Boutique: I have a great idea for selling some cards, my goal is to get several cards finished to get my booth stocked up!

Cruise scrapbook: I got a few layouts done last week, but need pictures. My goal this week is to print pictures for my scrapbook.

Menu Plan Monday

I'm a little behind this week, but here is my menu:

Monday: Grab something

Tuesday: Chicken parmesan

Wednesday: Sandwiches

Thursday: Salmon and veggies

Friday: Baked spaghetti

Saturday: Eating at my Grandparent's for Easter

Sunday: Baked chicken and veggies

The menu is a little plain this week, but we have a lot to do so I need something I can throw together fast!

Monday Meanderings...

Here is my first attempt at Monday Meanderings. I am loving this concept because I am a "list maker" and do not feel complete until I can mark something off!!! I am hoping this will help hold me accountable to accomplish everything I should this week!

Bible Studies: I started a one-year Bible in January, but am ashamed to say that it has fallen by the wayside. My goal this week is to pick it back up and read some every day.

Must do:

Plan menu for this week (see here)

Mail check for "Close to my Heart" merchandise

Mail one letter to a friend (my weekly goal)

Pay electric and water bills

Taking Care of My Home:

Tuesday: wash dress clothes / delicates, clean living room, and clean out bunny cage

Wednesday: wash 1 load of whites, clean spare bedroom, and clean spare bathroom

Thursday: wash puppy blankets, clean kitchen, clean laundry room, and pack for weekend

Reading:

I am currently reading "Plain Truth" by Jodi Piccoult. My goal is to read to page 200 by Friday.

Broadway Boutique Booth:

I have a booth at Broadway Boutique Mall where I sell handmade cards. My goal is to make 10 individual cards and 2 sets this week to go in my booth.

Letter of the Week!

So, this week I finally made my goal. The letter I am sending out is a handmade card! It is very basic compared to what I have made, but I'm very proud of myself for sitting down and putting it together. I do have a couple other cards going out, but I wanted to share this one!

Menu Plan Monday

Monday: Homemade Pizza (my husband made an awesome homemade whole wheat crust)
Tuesday: Chicken Crescent Rolls (recipe coming soon)
Wednesday: General Tsao's Chicken (I get this from Sam's, it is probably terrible for us, but it is delicious!), rice, and broccoli
Thursday: Baked chicken and veggies
Friday: Pork chops (we will be in Gatlinburg with our family)
Saturday: Fajitas (still in Gatliburg)
Sunday: Chicken Parmesan (I use an awesome marinade for my chicken, and bake it instead of breading and frying it. If you can find Annie's Naturals Roasted Garlic and Balsamic, it is well worth it! Check it out here.)
