Making Enough To Share – Menu Plan Monday

August 23, 2010 by Marci  |  1 Comment

Our good friends and neighbors had their first baby last Friday.  We have known this couple since before they were married – or even engaged.  We have been friends with them through the “when-is-he-going-to-finally-ask-her” stage, the “its-about-time-you-oaf” stage, the wedding planning stage, the “can-your-little-guy-be-our-ring-bearer” stage, the honeymoon stage, the finishing grad school stage (not pretty), [...]

Busy Is A Thief

Last weekend, I was going through some old notebooks.  I have lots of them full of notes from books, radio programs, business conferences, retreats and random thoughts from the last 6 or 7 years!  In a notebook from 2007, I found notes that I took while reading “I Dare You” by Joyce Meyer.  Here is [...]

Fast, Easy Clean Up Meals – Menu Plan Monday

August 9, 2010 by Marci  |  1 Comment

Last Monday, I shared my easy pesto and focaccia bread recipes, but no weekly meal plan.  I thought that I had enough food in the fridge and pantry that I didn’t need a plan.  Silly girl.  Our meals were pretty poor and my mood was a bit frazzled last week, so the menu plan is [...]
