I don't have just one thing to blog about today, instead I have several little things:
#1 - My neighbor and I have worked out a great system the past couple weeks for getting our grocery shopping done. Her husband often works weekends and my husband works occasional weekends. SO, we have worked it out that one of us watches all the kids while the other goes grocery shopping. It works out splendidly!!! I love it!!
#2 - I gave up pop for Lent - I have been so good. At first I substituted iced tea for the pop but now all I have been drinking is water or milk. Pretty good!!
#3 - I have this bad habit of collecting tons and tons of recipes I want to try and then never get around to trying them. I made a resolution (of sorts) to try all the collected recipes. I have also made a rule that the recipe has to look absolutely killer before I can add it to the "recipes to try" file. I have a HUGE folder filled already, no new ones until I have emptied this folder! My goal is to empty the folder by the end of the year...
#4 - My mom and my sister Steph (and her family too of course) are coming to visit me at the end of the month. My mom will be staying with me for a week! YAY! and we have some fabulous projects in mind to do around my house! I can't wait. My mom's best friend lives in town so she will also spend a few days at her house. My sis and her family will come over here and there throughout the week but they have other family here they will need to spend time with too! She has kids all about the same ages as my kids so they get a long just fabulous! I think maybe one day all the "boys" (Mr. Man, my BIL, my 2 boys and my sisters 2 boys) will go up skiing, we're still working out that one. I am so excited to see them all!

You have up soda? I'm impressed! I was thinking of trying to do that as well and replacing it with iced tea. We'll see. I just love my Dr. Pepper so much!
I gave up soda in January but then realized that, as weird as it sounds, the only way I can successfully get through a week without binging on something sugary is to allow my self diet soda. I probably average 2-3 cans a week, which isn't bad. It makes ALL of the difference...
Things sound good! yay for family visiting!
I gave up sweet tea for Lent. It has been kinda difficult. I love that you and your neighbor came up with a plan. Free babysitting?!? That's awesome!
Thanks for visiting today :)
It is the little things in life that make us smile...my neighobr and I do a lot of splitting chores as our husbands work-carpooling, someone watches the little ones while the other picks up, and the same with grocery shopping...Love it!
Like you, I have more than one thing to say! Your mom and I were talking the other day about how we used to do our shopping like that! :~)
And, I am so excited about your mom's visit too. Maybe I'll even get to see Steph and the kids!
