Works For Me Wednesday

When my daughter finally got enough hair to actually do SOMETHING with I was ecstatic. I went out and bought bows, ponytails holders and of course a cute bow holder. The bows and bow holder worked out quite well. All those ponytail holders on the other hand....... They were are MESS. At first I tried keeping them in a ziploc, that didn't work for us. One day I came across a mini-tackle box in the store. All of a sudden I thought, HEY THIS WILL WORK! Here's what I did:

The compartments are adjustable and it works perfectly for us. For more Works For Me Wednesday ideas visit We Are THAT Family!

Financial Check up

Time for a financial check-up!


1.) Re-build emergency fund. I say re-build because we had a small amount of savings but our refrigerator decided to go out on us today and we had to buy a new one. What a way to start off the new year! Not doing so great here. Something always seems to come up, new tires for Piggy's truck, new part for the stove, etc... We're trying!

2.) Have all debt except student loans paid off by December 2009. We're getting there, so far we have paid off roughly 72% of the debt!!

Menu Plan Monday 3/09 ~ 3/13

Piggy is working some weird hours the beginning of this week so meals will be simple since I get cankles if I stand for more than 10 minutes!

Monday ~ hot dogs & chili

Tuesday ~ homemade pizza

Wednesday ~ leftovers

Thursday ~ spaghetti (I cooked this a couple of weeks ago and put it in the freezer)

Friday ~ pan fried catfish and shrimp

I am planning a baking day for early April. This will help me to stock my freezer with meals and snacks for once baby is born. Depending on what the doctor says tomorrow this may get pushed up. I will post my planned menu once I have everything figured out.
