There is something soul warming about banana pancakes. I remember mom making these when I was my son’s age. It’s a great way to start the day !
Month: February 2016
Peanut Brittle
The pilot has had three 4am flights this week. My body is getting used to being up at this crazy hour so I have to find something to do when I can’t fall back asleep. Let the candy making commence !
Log In Cheat Sheet
In my week of getting organized I figured I better get all of my other random account info together and put in my binder. While some sites I go to each month to pay bills or order tea, others I go to very rarely thanks to auto pay.
Bank Account Info
Twice this last week I had to call banks because I forgot my online log in info. During my big move I went from being sort of organized to using sticky notes. Well, those notes often go into the shredder because I HATE STICKY NOTES… that leads to me not being able to get online and pay my house payment.
Debt Repayment
I finally got my last W2 and taxes are done !! With all the changes and big move over this last year the past few months have been crazy. I finally have my home “office” back together and now am working on having my everything within reach binder.
Get your butt in gear 2016
Even if my hubby wasn’t on a crazy pilot schedule of always on never off I would still have a list of things to do. Changing from being in the corporate world to being a stay at home mom (yeah I spelled it out …I hate when people use SAHM, really just spell people!) I like to have my “brain” with me each day. My brain not being the one living on caffeine and slobbery kisses, but the one that keeps me on task…well as on task as I can be.
Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
Every day that my house is filled with the smell of something baking is a great day! Today I had enough time to catch up on bread and a special treat with a special helper.
Valentine’s Day Quiz
I love the answers that not only I come up with, but family and friends on holiday quizzes.  Even when I take the same “test” each year, I can come up with some funny answers. For each holiday toss copies of the monthly quiz on the coffee table, give everyone plenty of time to come up with answers…but no cheating this is screen zombie free zone. Then read out loud what a wiz kid you are at the holiday’s!
Special Days
Birthdays sneak up on me every year. It’s not like they are a surprise, heck they happen on the same day every year.  I believe it is a family trait that just keeps going from generation to generation. If any of us actually got a card or present on our real birthday it just wouldn’t seem the same. I remember being a kid and my mom finding presents that she “hide” months later. It made holidays last for months with surprises hidden everywhere from the wood box to the barn. Continue reading “Special Days”
When the pilots away ~ Cookies for breakfast
I am all for a balanced meal, but there are somedays that just call for cookies. Â Cookies and lots of strong coffee !! Daddy is on an overnight flight so little man was in charge of our meal plan for the day. I am a firm believer in a free range learning, and somedays that leads to cookies for breakfast.
