Nova

-
We adopted a cutie from the Lee County Humane Society this week! Nova is a 2 and a half month old tabby kitten who looooves to run across the living room and slide into the kitchen, and she loves to crawl on your neck or arm to takes nap. She's about the size of my size 9.5/10 foot right now, but she thinks she's a lot bigger! She's going to be a primarily outdoor cat, but she hasn't been to the doctor yet, so we don't want to leave her outside by herself quite yet! Until she's a little bigger, she's taken over my bathroom haha!

Oh, and the story on her name...we picked Nova because it's an Auburn name. :) One of the eagles that is trained to fly before the football games is named Nova. (In fact, I think they just started letting Nova fly more often in the place of Spirit VI? I could be wrong haha!) Anywho, there have been several eagles named Spirit (I, II, III, IV, V, and VI) so when my sister adopted her cat a few years ago, she named it....Sparkey :). We make fun of her because she got Spirit and Sparkey mixed up, but Sparkey is the perfect name for that cat!! :)

The picture of Nova curled up on me in my red shirt is her as I type haha! She's quite content and is going to be heartbroken when I make her get up so I can get ready for the day! :) The pictures automatically cropped funny from the Blogger app I'm using, but if you click on the pictures, a slide show should open up so you can see them full size. :)

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

Meal Plan for this Week

-
Image
 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.
