With A Recipe In One Hand And A Stack Of Coupons In The Other

I was walking through JoAnn Fabrics the other day and like I do every time I'm in there I HAD to swing by the sewing machine department and look, I mean drool over their embroidery machines. 

I want one.  I want one so bad!

But, it's a little pricey on a one income family to spend that kind of money just like that.  So, I have come up with the solution :-)  If I can shave twenty five dollars from my grocery budget every week then by this time next year I should have what I need to get a nice machine.  That's the plan anyway.  Wish me luck!

With A Recipe In One Hand And An Organizer In The Other

I read somewhere that you shouldn't apologize for not posting on your blog.  I can't help it.  I wanted this blog.  I named it.  I posted a few times and then I got lazy.  I apologized once before because it seemed like the right thing to do (even though I doubt anyone reads this).


I'm going to change things a bit.  I don't get to cook or bake as much as I'd like to.  I DO get to spend everyday with my wonderful children.  We do a LOT (the reason why I don't get to cook/bake as much as I'd like) so I'm going to post about our life.  The fun activities that we do and (when I get a chance) the great food that we make. 

With the new year comes new resolutions.  I went out and bought an organizer in the hopes that I can be, well, a little more organized.  We'll see if it helps.  Maybe if I get organized I can cook and bake more.  There are SO many great recipes out there that I'm just dying to try and review.  Keep your fingers crossed for me :-)
