The Week at Hand 2.11.13

It has been a wonderful week!  I got lots of projects finished up, watched some of a great conference online, and got to spend a lot of quality time with my kiddos this week.  We had fun playing playdough bakery  with some Valentine’s Day playdough we made {I’ll be sharing this recipe and photos this week}, we decorated cookies, made Valentine’s cards for all our friends, and had fun playing outside and making some fun Valentine’s photos.

Now its back to the daily grind for me this week.  But, I’ve still got lots of great Valentine’s projects to share with you this week..so stayed tuned.  I’d also love to hear about the projects you’ve been up to this week!

The Week At Hand 2.3.13

I am exhausted!   I cannot believe the weekend has already come and gone.  Anyone with me?  I’ve got another busy week at hand – so lots of simple meals this week.  I’ve also been looking up some new recipes but I’m still looking around.  So, if you’ve got some good ones…send ‘em my way!  I’m looking for something to mix up my regular routine of dishes. ;)

Now, if I only had a few more hours to do that…

The Week At Hand 1.14.13

This week has been a lot of fun!  We had a fun pizza night out with a movie and ice cream cake back at home in our jammies.  We painted a rocket, we tried some new {FANTASTIC} recipes that I can’t wait to share with you here this week!  I also finished a couple projects, went to a couple doctor’s appointments, went to a good friend’s baby’s first birthday, snuggled with my kids who are seriously growing too fast, and even managed to watch a WHOLE movie with my main squeeze. ;) It’s been a great week…hope this one turns out just as awesome!

The Week At Hand 1.7.13

Well, it is back to the regular grind.  You may have noticed I was around a little less than usual.  My family visited my husband’s family out of state for a nice long visit and I didn’t get anything accomplished online like I had hoped – but oh well. ;)   We also had a tertible bought of stomach virus that made its way through our family – yuck!  But, we’re all better now and things are starting to get back to normal.

Today I got the house cleaned, the bathroom cabinets decluttered (more on that later this week – with photos!), and made some snowflakes with Judah bug.  It’s been busy and the kids conked out early – yay!  Now, to really get down to business and get lots of great content cranked out for you all!  Hope you have a productive week too!  Now, to figure out what I’m going to feed this family this week…

The Week at Hand 12.3.12

Did you notice something different?  I’ve ditched the old Menu plan Monday and I’m titling this post “The Week at Hand,” from now on.  I feel like this plan serves as an accountability post for me and a check in with you, my readers. ;)

I share what I plan to cook each night (the accountability is that it forces me to actually plan on Sunday before I write this) as well as sharing my plan for the week with my family.  It gives you a peak into what a week in the Sawyer household looks like {for those of you who are curious – for those who aren’t and are just hear to see what’s to eat – skip the paragraph! ;) }
