Oh how much FUN this week full of Website-Aversary celebrating is going to be! (Did you have a slice of cake yet?) Just wait till the end of this post. There’s an awesome freebie waiting for you!
In other news, our friends who were here visiting last week have gone home. Our time with them was filled with blessing..and CRAZINESS!! My friend Deb is very…full of energy and spontaneous ideas. We were home very little during the week…and off having fun and excitement instead! Shew! It’s a good thing I’m so good at being flexible <cough>. ;)
With all of our gallivanting around…I hardly followed my menu plan last week. I know… shocking. Somehow with several rounds of concentrated controlled breathing exercises (breathe in , exhale, breathe in…) I survived the lack of schedule. Really…it was so much fun and I loved it all!
This week…we’ll be boring and stick to the menu! Oh wait…there’s nothing boring about this week!! It’s our Website-Aversary Week!! (Oh, and Matt’s birthday…I’d best not forget to also celebrate Matt’s birthday! He’s been around longer than my website. I’d like to point out that he is now as old as I am. Not that it matters or anything for you to know that. It’s not like he usually gives me a hard time about being three months older than him.) :)

Between the recipe cards and the $6 bunch of e-books I’m just almost giddy! You rock!

Thank you so much for the Pie Ebook and fun wintertime planning items! What awesome giveaways! I’m going to take advantage of the great sale, too! WOOHOO! Happy Anniversary!
Do you have a cost analysis for your menus? How many weeks do you plan at a time? I used to plan my shopping around menus then got out of the habit. Nice to see someone still does that. It DOES save money.
The stromboli sounds awesome!
:)
I got the ebooks yesterday…and I am having SO much fun with them already!!! Thankyou for all the freebies and fun stuff! And, BTW- I Love, Love, Love peach cobbler:)
So AWESOME – thank your wonderful friend! And thank YOU for a great celebration! :o)
BTW – MY hubby is exactly 3 months older than I am…yeah, I hear about it all the time, too! :o)
The taco potatoes sound so delicious. I am definitely bookmarking that recipe and trying it soon. Your menu for this week sounds really good, and it has a lot of variety. I saw several things on there that I want to cook for my family.
Ok, how is this for some similarity – my birthday is also this week (Nov. 9) and I am originally from Kansas! I don’t know. Congratulations on your Website-aversary!
