Dinner Ideas for the Week

Brrhhhh.... we hit 45 degrees here yesterday, and I had to turn on the furnace.  I would have been fine you know, but the kids insisted... 😛

I'm actually starting to think about ideas for Christmas gifts, which is a bit early, even for me, but since it's on my mind, I thought I'd share with you the printable I have to help keep track of your Christmas gift ideas and purchases for loved ones!
