Black Friday Deals



There is a great running list at Faithful Provisions that bloggers from all over have weighed in on with the skinny on Black Friday deals. 

I'm probably going to head out for some drugstore deals and a couple other things, but honestly I'm not super impressed with the day (especially since it means I have to get up at 4am).  

Any die hard Black Friday shoppers out there?


Holiday Stress Anyone?



Yesterday was THE stressful day of the year for me.  I pulled out of it during the day by finding some great deals at Publix, Aldi ($.99 Pineapples) and Target, but found myself back in the stress seat after dinner.  There have been a few unfortunate circumstances that have helped increase the stress, including hitting my mother in law's car in my own driveway and the dishwasher breaking.  On top of that, our schedule is starting to get out of control.  We literally don't stop until after the new year and that makes me crazy!  My AMAZING husband told me to sit down- he found "The Proposal" on demand and watched the whole thing with me.  Between my hubby and Sandra Bullock, I'm feeling much better.

I get overwhelmed when I am pulled in a million different directions and its not really situations I can control.  So... my husband helped me see that together we can walk through and enjoy the holidays-- the important thing to both of us is that our kids are having fun and that we are starting traditions that they love and will remember.  God is faithful through it all- so hard to turn the "noise" off sometimes to really hear and know that reality in our lives each day!

I'm taking the girls out (like we didn't get out enough yesterday!) to grab a few basic craft supplies today.  I promised them a Thanksgiving craft project- I guess I better figure out what we are going to do- I'll keep you posted :)

Enjoy your day... and this season!

Monday's Meal Plan- Thanksgiving Week



Ahhhhhh, the holidays are officially here!  Many of you have guest coming or will be traveling- I hope you have a wonderful week!  You may be focusing all of your meal planning skills around Thanksgiving, and leftovers on Friday will be on the menu for most.. but what about Monday-Wednesday?  Honestly I don't want to think about those days, but I have to :)

My husband has requested I make a practice run of a chess pie tonight... maybe we should practice on the green bean casserole and mashed potatoes too? :)

Here's what I'm really thinking:

Monday: Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole (I'll make my own "cream soup" as a white sauce with chicken broth), steamed asparagus (on sale at Publix this week :)
Tuesday: Baked chicken, sweet potato fries, salad
Wednesday: Minestrone soup (I probably won't do as much cream as it calls for), homemade bread

Breakfasts- the usual hot and cold cereal, bagels and cream cheese, fruit salad... AND French Toast Casserole- I can't wait to try this!!!!!
Lunches- Noodles and sauce (after the sales at Publix the past couple weeks, I am stocked!), Pizza Bites, quesadillas, cut up veggies

What are you eating before Thursday?
