Works for Me Wednesday . . . Backwards edition – boys activities

I have a preschool boy (as I have mentioned before) and I know all of you moms can help me out.
I am looking to put together some activity bins specifically for boys (such as these).  Stickers and crayons are not going to work for this child.  I need some ideas for a boy who doesn’t [...]

Freezer cooking tips

Today a friend from church came over and I helped her do her first OAMC adventure.  She was VERY organized (I thought) and she had everything written out in about 20 steps telling her exactly what she needed to do so it made it pretty easy for us.  I don’t feel like I did much.  [...]

Menu Plan Monday . . . Week 2 OAMC

We made strawberry jam this week and then I had leftover strawberries so you know I had to make some pound cake for the strawberries to sit on while we ate them (that was a weird sentence wasn’t it?).  Also, in case you were wondering about my review of our freezer meals so far – [...]

Canning and a day at the park

I am definitely ready to start gardening and canning and I just had to can something yesterday.  My husband kind of likes canning so he “helped” me a little bit.  I had decided that once I used up the last of my store bought grape jelly that I was going to make my own and [...]

Frugal Friday’s . . . Overnight Breakfast

You already know how much I love OAMC.  I usually only do the main meals when I do my sessions, but I do bake during the week because, well, I love to do that.  I was just thinking of how many breakfast dishes I could do while I am “making” (thawing) dinner that could sit [...]

Learning the Word

This week’s verse is Hebrews 10:24-25.  We have been memorizing using the Navigator’s Topical Memory System.
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as [...]

Nothing much

Sometimes I feel like I should write a post even though I don’t have a lot to say.  Today is one of those days.  I really don’t feel very inspired, but lately I have been feeling VERY thankful.  I feel so thankful that I get to stay at home and take care of my children [...]

I’m Tired . . . OAMC Month 2 is done!

Yes, I am tired but I have everything done except my pizza pockets.  I am going to make those tomorrow.   I have everything ready to go I just didn’t get to them today.
You can see my original list of meals here.  You can see my assembly day instructions and my MONTH of menus here.  I [...]

Making Your Home a Haven . . . My morning routine

I am so glad Tammy at Tammy’s Recipes is doing this because I did not get in on it when Crystal was doing it.  I have been working on making my home a haven for a few weeks now and have established a cleaning schedule, but today’s assignment was to list 5 things you do [...]

Menu Plan Monday . . . Spring!

Well, today is when I am doing my second month of OAMC.  Yesterday was my prep day – is it weird that I get excited about making pie crusts?  Don’t answer that.  I tried making them with my food processor yesterday and it was so easy and I can’t believe I haven’t done that before.  [...]
