Today is definitely miscellaneous :)

-
1. I just saw I have 50 followers!!! Ahhh!!! I never thought that would happen!! :)  I'm currently brainstorming what kind of giveaway I can do when I make it to 100...I paint, sew, craft, so I've got a few options running through my head! :)

2. We got SO MUCH MAIL today!! :) Not all fun stuff, but lots of fun stuff included!! :)  First thing I opened was my package from Kim at Oh, Sweet Joy.  She's got her shop closed for now because her and her hubby are traveling overseas to teach English and minister for a few months!! (Keep them in your prayers!)  I found out about her shop through a friend of a friend (who is now a friend as well...was that confusing? haha)  Look at what I got for me!!! (I can't show you the other because it's a gift for my sister and I don't want her sneaking peaks at it....)



blurry...sorry...cellphone and trying to take a picture of something you can't see hahaha..but hey! you can see a picture I painted in the background haha :)
As soon as I opened it, I took the sunglasses off my head and replaced it with this!! I think I'm going to like wearing it.... :)

3. The rest of our mail consisted of...
--a letter from Church about Deacon elections
--something about Adam's school loans (boring.)
--a card from Adam's Aunt & Uncle (exciting!! I'll wait till he gets back from the gym)
--my all*you magazine I've been patiently waiting on (exciting!)
--a card from Adam's parents (exciting!! waiting for Adam to get home..)
--a Geico mailing...probably junk mail bc even though we're insured with them we still somehow get their "sign up with us" mail (boring....)
--a card from Adam's Grandma (exciting!! waiting on Adam again hahah)
--a Ranger Joe's catalog (exciting for Adam!!)
--my sticker for my car tag renewal (exciting so I don't get a ticket next week!)
--Belk bill for that really cute shirt I bought when I went shopping with Mom (not exciting...but not terribly boring...reminder of a fun day! :) )

----OH! AND my new American Eagle capris....I'll try them on in a second :)

4. I've got a good bit of schoolwork coming up this week and next, so I probably won't be posting a whole lot of crafty things, but I do plan on posting some food things because we've decided to get creative with the ingredients in our cabinet and freezer to come up with meals for the next two weeks and only buy necessities like milk, bread, and eggs for a while...so....keep your eyes peeled for dinner ideas! :)

5. Just got an email saying my prize from my CSN giveaway has been shipped! Woohoo!! :)

    Stopping over on the Monday Miscellany. I am sure you will be at 100 in no time. Sounds like you are a very crafty person! Don't you just love junk mail? I've tried to take myself off all of those lists, but it just keeps coming. Hope you had a great Monday!

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
