Hubs is hanging my whiteboard! 🙂 It will be so nice to have a permanent spot for it again. Can’t believe we’ve been here for 2 yrs already!
Working on breakfast ideas to help avoid the cereal rut. Trying pancakes/waffles, eggs, cinn toast, oatmeal, french toast–any other ideas?

My MIL blessed me last Spring by coming to my house every weekday and watching the kids so that I could go work out. Unfortunately she had some health problems and then our vacation and no more working out. I’m sure she’d come again if I asked but I hate burdening her in that way.
So, since I’m getting up at 5am everyday to work, I decided to change my plans a bit. I’m sharing it here to keep me from hitting the snooze alarm tomorrow! I’m going to get up at 5:15am and head to the gym instead of to the computer to work. I know if I check email for work before I go, I will be stuck here for hours. I should be home by 6:30. I can prepare lunch and breakfast for the family and then work for a few hours before homeschooling J2. I should be able to work a few more hours in the afternoon while Sissy naps and then a bit in the evening to catch up in needed.
Yes, my days are busy but adding working out should really help me feel energized again. Plus – I found out I am NOT comfortable in a pair of pants that fit me nicely before vacation! Yikes!
However, I’m a little afraid I won’t be able to pull off this schedule. If you are a prayer, please pray for me. And, if you are local and go to Workout Express – want to join me at 5:30 to work out Monday through Friday?? I’d love to know someone was looking for me!

Home from friend’s housewarming party, dinner in the oven, working on my menu planning (aka goofing around online). Tonight it’s fair time!

This is a basic granola recipe that I found in an free menu planning ebook I got from the Schoolhouse Store. I think it allows for a lot of adjustments for taste by adding nuts, dried fruits, coconut – whatever appeals to you!
Yummy Homemade Granola
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 cups oatmeal (quick oats)
In a large, 4-quart saucepan, melt the margarine or butter and the brown sugar
together. Stir it up and let it simmer for a few minutes (2-3 minutes). Add the salt and
cinnamon, then the oatmeal. Remove pot from heat and stir until all the oatmeal is
coated. Spread the granola onto 2 cookie sheets (with sides) and bake at 375° for 10
minutes, until golden brown. Cool granola completely on pan, then break up into pieces
and transfer to an airtight container.
