Handmade Valentine Swap?! Yes!


I just signed up for this handmade valentine swap, and I couldn't be more excited! Stationery has always been my thing, and I just expanded my paper craft stash by purchasing some things from Cute Tape. I can't wait to pull out my stuff and start creating. Here are some gorgeous vintage valentines to get you inspired:

Meal Planning!

I am trying to work on planning meals on a month by month basis this year. Yesterday I came up with the meals until the end of January. I'm hoping that planning this far in advance will help me. I like knowing what I am going to cook for the week and having the food in the fridge and pantry, but planning week by week is just a bit too much for me. We'll see how it goes! I am using this free meal planning website as a guide. They have recipes on the site that you can add to to your meal plan and you can also add your own recipes. After you plan your meals, you use the recipes to create a shopping list.

Here is the plan for the rest of the week:
Wednesday- Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes
Thursday- Mexican Bean Salad
Friday- Eat Out!
Saturday- Leftovers or Pizza
Sunday- Mediterranean Chick Pea Salad and Sandwiches
