Well, its the end of the month and still trying to hang in there til payday!  UGH!  My family is devouring fruit like its going out of style and I am constantly going back to the store for more!!!  I guess this is a GOOD problem to have?!

Very simple and easy menu week!  I think we may try something new next month with our menu and meal planning.  Once I figured it out, I'll tell you more.... hopefully it'll save us some money!?!?!  But the goal is to get "better" and more natural ingredients, less processed things into our home and cut down on the amount of packaged things we've been buying!  Lets face it people!  I'm tired and I get lazy!  I'll quickly grab a package of crackers because they are on sale and the kids love them.  Once I get home, I think, why in the heck did I buy those?!  So, anyway, I need to sit down and do a more thorough job of planning and perhaps get some fresher and "better" things into this house for my kiddos to munch on!  I am also trying to get back on the bandwagon of couponing.  I was kinda shocked a few weeks ago, when I went to buy a paper, that I hadn't been actively couponing since February!  Gosh!  Golly!  I have run out of so many coupons, because I just HAVEN'T had time!  Still trying to find a balance between hobbies and couponing and family and household duties and friends and yada yada yada... when you discover "balance" in your life, please tell me how!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!
