We are going to have a busy week at our house with some new tile floors going in, and we are partially redoing the kids bathroom!
I’m excited to see the end results, and I’ll be sure to take some pictures to show you the finished look!
Of course Halloween is this week too, and since I live in a development, we usually have about 500 trick or treaters, so we stay hopping!
So…. some of our meals are coming out of the freezer, and I have some leftovers from this weekend to use up,
but the most time saving part of meal preparation is knowing what I’m fixing each night, and having all the ingredients on hand!
