Grocery Shopping

 

Today I finally felt like all my coupon clipping paid off. I saved over $35 with my coupons today and I didn’t buy any unnecessary junk food just because I had a coupon.  Several shopping hours of work found me climbing into the van, putting down the back seats and filling it up. I was so pleased with myself I decided to blog about it.

I shop every two weeks and meal plan the same way. However, this week I saw something that has really got me thinking and I have created a new 5 week meal rotation.

After reading Lena's post over at Our Life’s Mosaic the mystery was lifted from the idea of a rotation and I felt free to create my own. Dinners rotate on a 5 week schedule but breakfast and lunch rotate every 7 days. I will post the essential details soon. Right now I need to get some rest before we spring forward.

The Beginning

If I gotta start somewhere why not here....If I gotta start sometime why not now....
The last day of this leap year and I am jumping into the blogging world. My plan is to journal our lives. Me, my husband Ace and our five sons oldest to youngest:Techkno, Talent, Gfree, Handsome Dan and Baby Love. Yup, you read that right. I am a woman in a house full of males. Dreaming of the day when I will have a bathroom to myself (I suppose  could share it with Ace) with a white rug around the commode. I keep myself busy serving My Lord, being a wife and mother and volunteering my time to my many"projects". We are home educators so a great deal of my blogging with probably be education focused but I guess you will have to just keep reading and see!
Oh and by the way leave me a comment if you caught the song reference:)
