Some great some not

Hooray! I finished Tyler's baby book. It only took me 5 years so I guess that is my goal for all the other children, finish theirs by the time they are 5. Here is a page of my work. Not too fancy but I am happy with it.














I also cleaned out my pantry! It probably looks the same, but I know where things are and I know what's in it. At least for now. I know it won't last, but it's good to clean it out every so often.









For my food storage I made an excel file of things I want in my food storage. I have columns for how much it cost at costco and what a good sale price is, because I always forget how much things cost. I'll fill it in when I go to costco and as I see sales.

And finally my sad news, my meal planning did not work out. So I'll have to try something different. I'll try planning only 2 weeks on Tuesdays when I get the adds so I can see what's on sale.

Here are my new projects:
I want to finish organizing my kitchen. For the most part my kitchen is fine, but I can't seem to be able to keep my counter clean. I blame it on the mail. We don't have a spot for mail, it just goes on the counter, and then other things pile up with it. So this week I want to find a way of organizing mail and getting my counter cleared off.

Keep working on my food storage chart.

Work on Alex's baby book. It's farther along than I realized, but it's not done. There are a lot of pages that I started but did not finished because I needed to cut something out. So I will finish 3 pages by next week.

Try meal planning again and have a morning schedule. I was thinking it would go like this:
wake up at 6:30 (I know I can do it if I set my alarm)
get dressed
start breakfast
empty dishwasher
wake boys get them dressed
eat breakfast (me too)
brush teeth
start laundry

We'll see how that goes.
