Welcome to a new week!
I love the beginning of the week because it means new goals, new meal plans, and a clean slate. I’m trying something new this week by combining my weekly meal plan, my goals, and 5 things I love all into one post!
Let me know what you think!
Jason’s still combining away so it’s wacky trying to make meal plans. Some nights Jason’s mom cooks for all of us (God bless her!) and others we eat at home and either take Jason a sandwich or she takes the guys food. So my tentative meal plan looks like this:

Breakfast:
Eggs & Toast
Cinnamon rolls
French toast
Scrambled eggs
Oatmeal or yogurt with granola
Cereal
Hard boiled eggs, toast, and yogurt
Lunch:

1. Captain Combine & Captain Combine Junior.
David is a true farm kid. He loves dirt, tractors, animals, and combining corn which is how we lovingly gave him the name Captain Combine Junior. Jason’s the combine operator 99.9% of the time so he’s Captain Combine.
2. Money-Making Mom: How Every Woman Can Earn More and Make a Difference
I received this book for free as part of the launch team in exchange for a review and even though I’ve just started this book, I am loving it! I will have a full review soon (including some of the awesome freebies you get if you pre-order from Amazon).
3. The Carriage House Chandelier from Ballard Designs
that I ordered for our entry, living room, and above the table.
I got mine in the antique silver and got the large for the living room and the smaller ones for the other 2 areas. I was really nervous to order lights online but got these as a Ballard special before they went up in price. I can’t wait to enjoy them regularly!
4.Lil Woodzeez
Nora and Ari absolutely love Lil Woodzeez (a cheaper version of Calico Critters
5. Grace
If you would have told me 6 years ago that I would be getting ready to move into a new home, that my kids would be happy and thriving, and that I’d have a growing blog I think I would have laughed.
At that point, my life was anything but happy or good.
I’m so thankful that even though I’m a broken person, doing my best to live the “good life” that God’s grace has been extended to me and my family. I’m in no way perfect or have it all together but by the grace of a great God, life is so good.
If you are struggling, hang in there and pray…God is so good.
