crockpot wednesdays

 

Be sure to come back and join me for Crock Pot Wednesday.  Mister Linky will be up by Tuesday evening.  Thanks so much for your participation.

 

It’s back-to-school time for me on Monday.  It was a wonderful Christmas holiday for us; I hope yours was as well.

Having two little ones who were totally “in” to Christmas and Santa this year probably helped.

I’m looking forward to getting back to our usual routine except for the 5:30 a.m. wake up call.  Hubby and I fell “off the wagon” with our walking routine over the break, but got back to it yesterday.  It is so cold here right now that I just know I’ll do some protesting when the alarm goes off on Monday!  Thank goodness Hubby won’t let me talk him out of it:)

It’s back to the freezer and using up leftover week at our house this week.  There are some great ideas for using up your pantry supplies over at Life As Mom.  You might want to see what everyone has to say.
