Actually, thats not true. But I do try! Especially at the beginning of the new year. This post has been in the making since January One...I've just not been "organized" to publish it. I have kept a picture diary of everything I've been trying as I attempt to manage the craziness that is life. On my to do list this year is finally printing & displaying all of the pictures I have abandoned and left in the digital world. I'm really looking into these chatbooks & these pinhole press baby books too! Wouldn't that be a great idea for those you don't have room to display in a frame? I've got a lot of work to do!
I also really want to cook & make the dinner table a daily routine. In this day & age in our fast paced lives, its becoming a thing of the past. But I have a big passion to make it a permanent fixture in our home no matter the circumstances! Since Cade has actually been home this month, I have even more motivation with his extra {larger} mouth to feed. I've been pretty successful thanks to my menu, Pinterest, cookbooks, & my trusty three-legged crockpot! Now Cade is on a health kick...& all we have in stock is chicken, brown rice, & vegetables...perhaps it's time for a little creativity & imagination in the kitchen?
Ever since I watched Life As We Know It (weirdly obsessed with the house & Katherine Heigl's style in this movie), I have dreamed of having a little place similar to their little calendar hub. I really don't know what else to call it? I tried to find a picture of what I am referring to, but no luck. This is a far cry from what they have in the movie, but this is what we have right now. It has turned out to be great for having a quick place to stick the weeks recipes & jot down anything important coming up. It has also been a great place to keep a running grocery list, pin coupons, & display a very special card from my Aunt Karen.
And lastly, cutting the cost on the coffee! I am a coffee-o-holic. I loooovvvveee it. Almost too much. The only problem is, I waste a lot! I usually make a pot every morning & leave it in hopes that the Mr will take care of the rest. 9 times out of 10... he leaves it and it is thrown out. Talk about a lot of money trickling down the drain! I finally decided to try and pour the morning leftovers into a mason jar & stick in the refrigerator for a little treat after dinner...iced coffee. Mmmmmm. Now that's what I'm talking about! Turns out-brilliant beyond brilliant idea:)
Warm wishes on this brrrrrrr cold Thursday!
Another snow day at home & it looks as if it is going to be the same routine for tomorrow:)
No complaints here! I love every minute with my baby.
P.S. Maybe iced coffee isn't such a great idea this week?
We're trying to cook at home more, too. I've found that eating out is more of a habit than anything, so I've just got to change the habit! Easier said than done :-).
