February goal....

Since Spring Cleaning is right around the corner I thought I would get a jump on things. I am going to take a room a week and try and dejunk/declutter/and donate the things we don't need or use. Hopefully by the end of the month the house will be a more organized place. To be fair we did go through the toys right after Christmas and I already donated all the girls old clothes that were too small or no longer worn. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

2 or 3 out of 31 not too shabby

So its the beginning of February so I thought I would let you know how we did on our goal of not eating out. We only ate out 2 or 3 dinners and all of them dates, we also took the girls to lunch a couple of times. I am so impressed at how easy it was, Eli was a huge help. On the nights that I wasn't interested in cooking Eli in shinning armor would step in. The girls would mostly try anything I cooked and then if they weren't interested we would get them a hot dog or something. I think they are a little young to understand the eat what I cook theory. So the eating in will hopefully continue. I found myself in a pattern of deciding what to cook in the morning, pulling out the meat from the freezer at lunch and then starting dinner by 5. I also decided that grilled cheese and soup counted as dinner, one of the few meals my girls loved. Thanks for your recipes and your support.
