Hello and good evening. I have been trying to get caught up with some of my work. It seems the more I get done the longer the list gets. Today I straightened the kitchen, did 2 loads of laundry and some sewing. Maria has been running a fever so she has been cranky. I try to make te girls my first priority, if nothing else gets done it's really ok. I have also been looking for some ways to further reduce my grocery bill. One thing I am going to try is baking more healthy bars, cookies and muffins. My husband likes a breakfast bar or something of the sort for his break at work. I thought muffins would be a good choice. If someone has a good recipie to share I would be glad to have some. I thought most muffins would freeze well then I could get them out as we want to eat them. It is really interesting to see how many things you want but don't need. Last week I did buy a pattern for sundresses/dresses for the girls. I found some really cute remnants at WalMart and can make them cheaper then buying them. I figured that I spent about $20 for material and the pattern and should be able to get 6-8 dresses for the girls. That is only about $2-$3 per dress! I definitely will be checking out the remnants for a while for more good deals. Well, it is time for bed so I best be moving on.
