We’ve had a wonderful turn of events in the last week–fall has arrived!!! Saturday was in the 90s and very, very humid. One tremendous rainstorm later and our temperatures are in the 70s, with beautiful, blue skies. It’s as though even nature couldn’t stand one more hazy, humid day!

/ September 12, 2012I can’t get enough of this weather! I’m so enthralled that I think we are actually planning to brave the lines at Carowinds this weekend. Score one for good weather and rollercoasters. And this menu. That, too.

Question – does your budget and shopping include all meals, or just dinner?
Year Of Healthier Living
/ September 15, 2012Well, our budget includes breakfast and dinner. Our lunches are typically reheated leftovers and Ellie buys lunch at school (which is not calculated in our budget). Our breakfasts are usually smoothies (recipe is in the blog), Ezekiel bread and homemade jam or pancakes. Hope that helps!
