Weekly Menu!

Here's my menu for the week, what's yours?

Monday: Monterey chicken tortilla casserole (This is my first time making this!)
Tuesday: Greek chicken pockets (These are SO good)
Wednesday: Crockpot beef and broccoli (Easy crockpot meal for mid week)
Thursday: Cheesy sausage tortellini (I make this all the time, SO yum)
Friday: pizza pickup! Order, carry out or buy a frozen pizza.
Saturday: Rotisserie Style Chicken in the crockpot
Sunday: Burgers on the grill and sweet potato fries (Forecast calls for nice weather Sunday!)

Weekly Meal Planning

Planning out dinner and grocery lists can be quite a chore. I try to plan out my dinners for the week and create my grocery list by at least Monday. I thought I would share my menu for the week. It would probably help if I posted this a little earlier since it's already hump day, but you can get a head start on next week or pick out something to try tonight!

Weekly meal plan

• Monday: Sloppy joes & sweet potato fries (I buy lean beef, store brand SJ mix, and Alexia frozen sweet potato fries.)
• Tuesday: Chicken cheese steaks & roasted potatoes (Cut up potatoes into cubes, toss with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt on a foil lined baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees for about an hour, tossing periodically)
• Wednesday: Crock pot Swiss Steak
• Thursday: Tex Mex Mac (meatless meal. I try and go meatless at least once a week)
• Friday: PIZZA PICK UP! Pizza and a movie night! Our go to is Papa Murphy's deLight Chicken Bacon Artichoke. I can usually find a coupon which makes it under $10.
• Saturday: Cheese Burgers on the grill. It's spring time!!
• Sunday: Oven Chicken Fajitas with re fried beans.

It's been a while! New Baby Must Haves!!

I haven't posted to my blog in quite a while because I have been taking care of this little new arrival in January. Meet Mallory:

She is almost 3 months old, so I've started to get the hang of how life changing babies can be! We are hitting some pretty awesome milestones. Sleeping through the night at 9 weeks was hands down my favorite.

I thought I would share some of the products that have made the past 3 months a little easier. They are my favorite must haves:

1. Halo SleepSack
2. Boppy Feeding Pillow
3. MyBaby Portable Sound Machine
4. Boon Grass Drying Rack 
5. Baby Feeding Log App for iPhone  
6. Medela Swing Pump

You can get with this...or you can get with that!

I love makeup. What girl doesn't? I have lusted after the Naked and Naked2 pallets since they came out, but at $50 a pop it just hasn't been in the cards for me.

Urban Decay has since came out with a smaller pallet called Naked Basics for a more reasonable $28, but it is a matte pallet.

That's when I stumbled upon this little charm. For $10.99, I got Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Nude Collection. I am in LOVE. It has definitely quenched my thirst for the Naked Pallet but at better than a quarter of the price!
