Healthy Eating Weekly Menu #1

January 6, 2020

Healthy Eating Weekly Menu

Although our family eats relatively healthy, after all the holiday indulgences, January is a good time to check our diets.  Like the rest of the world, we always make a goal in January to eat more fruits and vegetables and less carbs and sugar.  When I meal plan it makes these goals easier to reach so I thought maybe it would be helpful if I share my healthy eating meal plan with all of you!  I try to find recipes that are easy and family friendly because who has time to be in the kitchen all day to make a meal your kids won’t like? Nobody!  Here is what is on my list this week…

Quick & Easy Ways to Decorate your Home for Halloween

October 18, 2019

Confession, my Halloween decor has been lacking the last few years.  When the kids were younger, I would go all out and the home would be decked out with skeletons, skulls, and monsters galore.  My entire front porch would be decorated and I would even decorate the front door to look like Frankenstein, it was awesome!  As the kids grew older and we became busier with after school activities, my passion for Halloween decorating dwindled.  I would decorate for Fall and call it good.  My now 10 year old son really got the short end with this.  He has been begging me the past 4 years to decorate for Halloween and he isn’t counting the mums, white pumpkins, and birch logs as Halloween decor!  (If that’s more your style, check out my Fall Home Tour post!) He finally convinced me and last Saturday I let him hop on Amazon to choose a few Halloween decorations for our front yard. Thanks to Amazon Prime, several of our items arrived the very next day (still blows my mind!) and my little buddy and I got to decorating.  It was SO easy, not expensive, and made my boy happy so I wanted to share it with all of you.  Even my too-cool-for-school teenagers thought the Halloween decorations were pretty neat!  Check out these quick & easy to decorate your home for Halloween!
