I never take pictures of myself. I honestly think I have maybe two pictures of myself with Lillie since she's been born. Sad, isn't it? I'm always the one behind the camera. Today when we got home from the grocery store she wanted to be held and I had the camera nearby.
No makeup. Hair everywhere. Hot and sweaty from being outside. The dress that I wear all the time because its light and never wrinkles.
I love her so much and I want to savor every moment. She is getting so big! :(
This morning I made muffins. I should make muffins more. I used this recipe. They are super easy and are so much better than cold cereal. My goal this week is to make muffins at least twice.
I thought I would share my menu this week. I worked on it for about three hours this morning. Menu planning is such a chore for me.
We are a family of six. 2 adults, 2 nine year old boys who eat like adults, 1 five year old girl who doesn't really eat very much, and the baby whose formula costs way too much!
Must keep telling myself this -----> I am not going out to eat this week. I will eat at home. I spent way too much money on groceries to eat out!

I tried to space the good stuff out. Usually I shop on Friday and by Monday we have nothing good left. I like to have special stuff on the weekend and easy meals for Sunday lunch.
Happy Friday!
