Thoughts on Thursday!

Happy 2015!! How did you spend your 2014 end? We stayed in and partied at home with sparkling wines and mimosas. It was really quite fun and in the end we all created memories. Being together with my wonderful little family always seems to make us all so happy and thnankful, I hope it was the same for you all!

My tip for you all is to use clear brochure holders as book displays in your home. This is a great way to give long lost books a new life. You will be amazed at how much older kids will love getting lost in a 'favorite' picture book. I sprinkle these throughout the home often and change them out whenever I get a chance.

My goal for 2015 is to read 250 books and drink a gallon of water a day! Enjoy every minute my friends!

Menu Plan Monday

Well it's technically still Monday! I know this is late, but I had to rant about the library earlier today! One comment I want to share about my menu planning is that whatever I prep for dinner, is what I have out that day for snacking and then I add a little of whatever fruit I have on hand as well. They get their fruit and veggie servings throughout the day and I don't have any produce go bad! Win-win! I also mentioned before that I wash and chop up all my produce the minute it comes into my house and that makes it easy to toss a salad or snack on healthy items 24-7! It also makes it easy to throw some containers in a cooler on our way out the door whenever we head out on an adventure!
