Respectful Kids: The Complete Guide to Bringing Out the Best in Your Child
By Todd Cartmell
see relatedMenu Plan Monday 11/9
I am in such a "recipe rut". It seems to be the same old' same ole stuff week after week. I really need to begin finding new recipes and add them into our menu! I find it hard to try new recipes though because my husband and our oldest are picky eaters. Also, my husband does about 75% of the dinner cooking. He loves to cook and he is home by 2pm from work, so he enjoys doing the dinner cooking!
Here is our menu plan for the week. The blue links are clickable:

Overcoming Emotions That Destroy: Practical Help for Those Angry Feelings That Ruin Relationships
By Chip Ingram, Becca Johnson
see relatedSimple Woman's Daybook 11/2
Outside my window... Sun is shining!! This is great after a month of 23 days of rain!
I am thinking... This is going to be a busy week for me. Lots of Dr. appointments for me!
I am thankful for... The awesome weekend we had this weekend!! God is great!
I am wearing... Gray jogging pants and a polo shirt.
I am remembering... my cousin Holly. She passed away a week ago from the H1N1 Virus. She also had Angelman's Syndrome from birth. She was our Earthly Angel for 12yrs and now our Heavenly Angel forever!
I am creating... Ideas for Christmas gifts for family and friends.
I am going... To a Dr. appt this afternoon.
I am reading... A few books from the library and blogs.
I am hoping... for God's provision for our family today.
On my mind... the holidays. Going to begin planning for them soon!
From the learning rooms... Doing our regular studies this week and beginning some Thanksgiving activities.
Noticing that... the days are getting shorter and the sun is rising later in the morning. I don't like short days.
Pondering these words... "I hope you get a child just like you". I so remember my mom telling me this all the time growing up. Well, she got her wish. One of my boys is so like me.
From the kitchen... Going to have a "Baking Day" tomorrow. Following along with this blog for this event: Baking/Cooking Day Here is our Menu Plan 11/1-11/7.
Around the house... Have some totes to sort this week of "stuff". Will do that each night while watching TV. Going to decorate for Thanksgiving!
One of my favorite things~ A Full Cup This is a couponing website and forum. Lots of info on deals and steals both online and in stores. I really love this site and it helps me save lots of money!
A few plans for the rest of the week: 3 different Dr. appts for me this week. Karate with the boys, YMCA Family Activities, AWANA and just relaxing and getting things done around the house. Saturday is our monthly homeschool meeting.
From my picture journal...
A friend of my mom's made this. My mom got one for each of my 3 boys. It is coloring bag! What an awesome idea!

By Chip Ingram
see relatedSimple Woman's Daybook 10/12
Outside my window... Cloudy, gloomy day. Going to stay in most of the day and accomplish some inside tasks.
I am thinking... Gifts I can make for our "Homemade Christmas" this year. We are going to make homemade gifts rather then spending money that we really can't afford.
I am thankful for... God's provision for our family! Many blessings have helped us in many ways.
I am wearing... Blue jogging pants and a long sleeve shirt.
I am remembering...
I am creating... Ideas for Christmas gifts for family and friends.
I am going... Grocery Shopping today.
I am reading... Lots of different books. Also, internet and email stuff.
I am hoping... that I can accomplish things this week that I didn't accomplish over the weekend.
On my mind... how to better manage our bills so we aren't always "Scrimping" to pay them. I have lots of tools and know how, it is just putting it all into action.
From the learning rooms... Doing our regular studies this week and finishing our Columbus Day activities.
Noticing that... the days are getting shorter and the sun is rising later in the morning. I don't like short days.
Pondering these words... I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
From the kitchen... Making Pumpkin Puree and Homemade Instant Hot Cocoa. Our menu plan is here: Menu Plan 10/11-10/17
Around the house... Tidying up the apartment. Reorganizing the spice/baking cabinet.
One of my favorite things~ PicNik It is a very user friendly picture editing site. It is FREE to use!! Resize pics, put text on pics, add other cool things to your pics!!
A few plans for the rest of the week: This is a normal week, not busy at all. Karate with the boys, YMCA Family Activities, AWANA and just relaxing and getting things done around the house. I have 50th B-Day Party to attend on Saturday.
