It’s a beautiful new week as we start the fall season, and my family and I have been getting our money’s worth out of our large hammock.  It’s so relaxing, and when it’s just my hubby and me, it’s kind of like a mini date.  We can enjoy just talking and cuddling.   🙂

This summer was so busy with a number of things, including our oldest son’s wedding.  I had lost about 20 pounds over the months leading up to the wedding, but since then, I’ve been eating everything in sight.  Sooooo… my hubby and I are going to try and buckle down this week and watch our portion sizes.  😛

I hope you and yours are doing well, and that you’re able to get outside some, and enjoy the pretty weather in your neck of the woods!

Here’s what’s on my menu plan for this week:
