If you don't already know,

Here's their sweet attempt at a Dance Dare
while at a wedding reception last night.

{update}


We have celebrated birthdays
{Tatum 7, Layne 4, several cousins},
Easter and Anniversaries
{Marriage 8 years, Beau's mom passing 1 year},
attended school performances
{for both girls}
and enjoyed time together.

And I've blogged about none of it.

So, this will have to do for now.

Oh, and I need an updated picture
with all FOUR of my children in it.

Sorry, Sawyer.
Love you buddy.

{2 weeks planned}

Okay, ladies.
You asked for it, so here it is.
And now that I think of it,
I might start posting these every couple of weeks.
It will keep me on track, that's for sure.
Planning my meals ahead of time
saves me money and time, I love it!
 
Basically, I find a recipe I want
{mostly Pinterest inspired this round},
make a shopping list based on items that I need
{that I don't already have at home}
and match it up as best I can
with sale items/coupons from that week.
I do make a weekly trip to the store for bread, milk & produce,
but everything else I do in one trip every other week.
 
Obviously, your shopping list will be different from mine
{based on what you have/don't have at home}
so I'm not going to include that.
And you may not want to have the same
dinners that we are having,
so feel free to pick and choose.
 
If this is something you find helpful, let me know.
I plan these every two weeks for my own family regardless,
so I don't mind posting them here at all if it helps!
 
Here we go!
