Well it’s Monday again and time for me to plan my meals for this week. We will be going grocery shopping either this evening or tomorrow for the missing ingredients and other foods we need. I will need to buy onions, french fries or tater tots, pepperoni and lettuce. Here’s my list for the week:

 Have you planned your meals for the week? What does yours look like? If you aren’t planning your meals weekly now is a wonderful time to start!

We celebrated the Little Guy’s first birthday over the weekend. As usual I didn’t spend a lot of money on the party or really on the gifts either. One year olds don’t need a lot of toys and usually they’d rather play with the boxes and the wrapping paper!! lol. We did get him a medium sized dump truck and he loves it, though he does try to sit in it. lol. I made a Thomas the Train cake from a pan I bought years ago for my older son. I also made an additional cake just in case more people came. The cakes ended up costing me about $6 for frosting and cake mix. We had meatball subs for lunch, that I had baked and frozen the week before. Those basically cost the amount for hamburger ($5), 2 packs of rolls (bought on clearance and froze for $1.29 each) and two jars of spaghetti sauce ($1 each). For ice cream, we bought one of those big tubs for about $5. Wrapping paper was bought at the dollar store and we used leftover napkins from the last birthday party. All in all, I have to say it was a very successful birthday party.
