http://momsgottawork.blogspot.com/2011/04/march-recap.html
Saturday, April 2, 2011. I've always heard that the older you get, the faster time seems to move along. Well, I've only been 40 for a mere thirty five days and I'd like to know where the last month went! I just blinked and now it's already April. I can say the fun certainly continued in March, so here is a rundown of the. MeetUp - We had such a nice time the first go round, we met again for breakfast. What a great group of ladies! It is so nice to just sit and chat over a leisurely breakfast. Hey Dee Dee...

Mom's Gotta Work: Sprucing Up a Bit
http://momsgottawork.blogspot.com/2011/03/sprucing-up-bit.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. Sprucing Up a Bit. Dilemma - I love to decorate, but I don't really decorate my own house that much because I don't like to spend the money on it. Now, if someone handed me $500 and asked me to decorate for THEM, easy peasy. So when I do go shopping for home decor, I am a fanatic for Home Goods and TJ Maxx. (Not to mention the paint department at my local Wal Mart.). 2 Gallons of Paint - $50 (we bought the really good stuff with the primer built in, so it cost a little more).

Mom's Gotta Work: June 2010
http://momsgottawork.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 20, 2010. I just made a batch of Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Muffins. That will serve as breakfasts this week. These muffins will serve many purposes for me this week:. Save money - I had the ingredients on hand already (only one substitution), plus, we won't need to spend any additional money for breakfasts this week. Reduce waste - I had a ripe banana that needed to be used up. Save TIME - a very valuable morning commodity in my commuting household. Links to this post. Links to this post.

http://momsgottawork.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. Menu Plan (February 1). Well, I learned a few very valuable lessons during the month of January. 1 - Planning our meals for the week is a practice I am going to continue. It was a tremendous help to me not to have to worry about what's for dinner. It also saved us a lot of money. (I didn't have a written plan for the last week of the month, and our budget took a hit because of it.). I won't keep you in suspense any longer.here is our meal plan for the week. Have a great week!
