Rushing and Scrambling

Posted in Weekly Menus, tagged , , on January 10, 2012| 1 Comment »

Greetings Friends,

I am so sorry I didn’t get this out yesterday, these days I feel like I’m always playing catch up instead of actually catching up! Have you ever felt like that? So much to do and  so few hours to do them…still, as frustrating as it may be we can’t just give up…and this week with our Denver Broncos advancing to the next round of the playoffs, I am in the mood to put up a bit of a fight!

So no matter what you’ve got going on this week…whether you’re a homeschooling mama like me, Tim Tebow getting ready for a huge (rematch!) showdown with the great Tom Brady or whatever your mind and your hands find to do, let’s remember that it is only through God that we can do anything and though the heart of a man may plan his ways, it is truly Him who establishes our steps (paraphrased from Proverbs 16:9)…Happy Cooking this Week!

That's a lot of leaves!

The weather has definitely turned colder, music recitals abound, and we have so many leaves falling in the front yard, we’re having trouble finding the front yard! But despite the busyness and the (endless!) raking, I have been trying to slow down and focus on what I am most thankful for and, really, it’s a whole lot…starting right there with that Little Guy in the leaves! I encourage you, as you’re going about your own busy days this week to take a moment to think about what you’re most thankful for!

And then get back to cookin’…
