It’s 3:30 a.m., so why am I up? My youngest is getting over a cold and the only thing left is that irritating night time cough. I brought her downstairs to sleep so she didn’t wake everyone else. Since I couldn’t go right back to sleep, here I am, doing my Menu Plan Monday post.
Last week didn’t really go as planned, so there are some items on the menu this week that never made it to the table last week.
- Monday – Spaghetti and Meatballs
- Tuesday – out or in case of bad weather, breakfast for dinner (eggs, sausage and Belgian waffles)
- Wednesday – Mini meatloaf and homemade baked macaroni and cheese
- Thursday – Tacos
- Friday – Pizza
That is the plan for the week. We’ll see how it goes. For more ideas and other Menu Plan Monday posts, visit Laura at I’m An Organizing Junkie.

Let me just say I am glad Friday is finally here! It has been a rough week and I haven’t had much time to do anything I really want to do. From snow days to sick kids, doctors appointments to sports practices, and everything else a busy Mom has to fit into her week, I am ready to kick back and relax.
I am excited about this evening. We are going to the school to play Basket Bingo – where the prizes are real Longaberger baskets filled with great stuff. I actually won a small basket a few years ago, but I want the big one this time! If I win I’ll be sure to take some pictures and post them here.
I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Take time to do something fun with your family or friends, then make sure you take some time to do something for you and only you!

ThriftyMommy would be so proud! Just so happens my girls LOVE getting hand-me-downs and they hit the motherlode yesterday. We had some fashion show here. I can’t wait to return the favor to the generous family who gave these to us – luckily their youngest is smaller than mine.

I love purses. I change them out by the season and sometimes more often than that. A while back my good pal V-grrrl introduced me to Kipling Bags
. V is from the States but is currently living in Belgium and has acquired quite the taste for Kipling bags.
When I recently helped V’s friend Di with getting her website up and running I told her she could just pay me in Kipling (purses that is). She thought I was joking – no I was serious. I don’t know if you can even get Kipling bags in the US and certainly not in my small little town, so they are special.
So she and V-grrrl went on a shopping trip and found me two cute Kipling bags to add some fun to my handbag wardrobe.
The first one is the Fairfax from the Moccachina line. It’s chocolate brown and white so it will go with anything, year round. It has lots of pockets and compartments – making it a perfect choice for a mom on the go.
The second one is from the Basic Line and is called Diane. My daughter already has her eye on this pale lavender bag. Sorry – it’s mine! It has a front pocket that fits my Treo phone perfectly! And its trademark monkey keychain is named Dorothy – too cute.
So, thanks V-grrrl and Di! You made great choices – I love them both! Oh, and the chocolate truffles – YUMMY!
