The 20th is here, yet again!
These pictures make me think of SUMMER!Why, you ask? Because they have brand SPANKIN' new clothes for summer.
Thanks mom, for the shopping spree this past weekend!
On another note, I've been thinking a lot about maintaining BALANCE in a hectic life.
I had gotten into a habit of cooking "quick foods" when Jeremy would work late. Not fast food, by any means, but "freezer foods."
A goal lately is to move away from that. Tonight, for example, I made Shephard's Pie. It was fast, because I had done much of the prep work yesterday, but nutritious because I "snuck" in tons of veggies... peas and carrots, etc.
I don't really have to sneak veggies in though, so I guess I could just say that I stuck them in there.
Do you have any tricks for maintaining BALANCE in your life... in the kitchen or otherwise?
Don't forget - My FIRST GIVEAWAY starts tomorrow at vicariouschelsea.com
Happy 20th to all!

Balance....yes, that seems to be the key to life, and I look forward to what others have to share too, as working and full-time moms.
Here's one that works for me:
Sunday-cut coupons from paper
Tues. night-Fry's ad comes out, Tues. night, while watching American Idol, match coupons to sales items, check freezer, cupboards for food already have
Wed. night-make grocery list, while watching American Idol
Fri. after work-go grocery shopping w/out child....DONE
I love the routine of it that I can count on, since I never know when I'll be able to clean house...that is something I need routine for, and balance.
Okay. One more, I use coupons from some online resources too. While it takes time, our family really needs to save $, so that brings me balance, to know I can challenge myself to do that. :)
OK. Now I'm confused. Should I comment on this blog or your new blog? Speaking of balance, I have started reading to many blogs! How do I balance that?
