Menu Plan Monday- Week of August 28, 2011


Last week started our school year...and for the first time ever,

my two girls were off and running....sniffle sniffle :(

I am not one to take change very well,

so I am trying to adjust as we move into this new way of life.

Just me, the baby and the house...I can handle that right?
