My daughter had her friends over the other night for a sleepover. My daughter loves rainbows, sparkles and anything “pretty.” When she started talking about having the girls over I remembered the Duff Goldman rainbow cupcakes I made for a party year. (click for link to original post) I thought I could use a similar…

Disney Advanced Dining Reservations and Fastpasses
We love Disney! It is a passion of ours for the past 20 years. This is our first trip in 16 years without children or anyone else accompanying us. We love going to Disney with other family and our children as we can show them all the things we love about Disney. My favorite compliment…
Smoked Sausage and Bean Slow Cooker Soup
Another slow cooker day! I am trying to get my freezer cleaned out again this month as two weekends away and one birthday already this month have put a dent in our cash flow. Tonight is my daughter’s birthday party and next week is her actual birthday. So, we are trying to limit our spending…
Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole
Wednesdays are one of the few days that we actually eat dinner at a normal time. We are late eaters. We like to have dinner together so we are sitting down to dinner any time from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. But, Wednesdays are generally a bit earlier as no one has anything after 6:00…
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese – A Birthday Dinner
I didn’t get a chance to post about my son’s birthday dinner last week. This was what he really wanted for his birthday dinner, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. We first made this sandwich about 7 or 8 months ago at his urging and he waited until his birthday for me to make them again. They…
Ginger Glazed Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Last week I posted our menu for the week. It was heavy on slow cooker meals because we are in the crunch time for the end of the school year and all the activities, clubs and classes both of my children are involved in are trying to fit in those last meetings and events. That…
Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
It was a crazy and fun weekend. We were in Milwaukee for three days for a Mommy/Daughter Feis, Irish dance competition, trip. No, I don’t dance, I finance, as they say. She did really well. It was the first time in a long time she could come off stage and say, “I did the best…
It’s an Irish Weekend
My daughter and I are spending the weekend in Wisconsin so she can Feis today and tomorrow. It’s been fun so far. She got a new wig and a new crown. That is a big deal for her. She has always worn the headpiece that came with her dress but yesterday they had her try…
Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…
Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup
So, if you saw my meal plan for this week (click for link to post), you know we had a Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup with homemade bread for dinner last night. Almost every night this week I will be making a slow cooker meal because time is scarce to get dinner made and on…
Steak Pitas with My Menu Plan for the Week
Do you menu plan? I never used to but now I cannot live without it. I plan for about 1 month because we get paid once a month and I do my stock-up shopping then. But, if one week or two weeks may work better for you, give it a try. My menu for the…
Italian Sausage Cowboy Casserole
We spent the weekend in Lansing, Michigan, for the Michigan State Science Olympiad Tournament. My son has participated on his middle school team the last two years. This has been a great thing for him. It was his birthday Friday so we had cake an ice cream in the hotel lobby for him with the…
