Menu Monday #menumonday #planyourmeals
July 15, 2013 by
Planning my meals for the week. More planning equals less chance of eating out. Of course with a family of 5 we do not eat out very often. It’s just too expensive. Our little babies are 16, 10 and 7. Only the 7 year old eats a kids meal! So no eating out for us. […]

Fall into Chattanooga

When I think of Fall right now I think of driving through Tennessee when my first born was 3. We had family passes to the Chattanooga aquarium and the family Discovery Museum there. We only went 4 or 5 times that year. But it was such a fun family memory. We would just pack up […]
