Check out all of the great menu suggestions at Menu Plan Monday and organizing ideas you’ll find at Laura’s blog, I’m An Organizing Junkie.
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.

I love my crockpot too! Thanks for the invitation to stop by – I will.
I also teach middle school, and my husband’s name is also Gary! 🙂

Such dolls! Kuddos to you for getting up at 5:30am. (:
My goal for this month is to 2 crock pot meals a week…I might just have to re-arrange my menu so I can get in on crock pot Wednesday 🙂 And those Lemon bars sound wickedly yummy!
Yes, back to reality tomorrow here, too.
Happy New Year (those kiddos are precious, btw)
Just as soon as I get these kids back to college next week, I’m going to join the freezer and pantry challenge. I am always overwhelmed at how much food I have stuck around in this house.
