Monthly Menu

Recently, one of my household goals has been to create a Menu for an entire MONTH! This is a tough task to accomplish for many reasons (like pleasing everyone!). However, after actually looking at the dates and who has what when, I think I have finally got it. Now....this may change and may be totally chaos, but we ARE going to try it out! Here is what we are having this week, and this is only suppers as the boy is in school so me and the girl just eat lite breakfast and lunches!

  • Monday~Pigs in a Blanket
  • Tuesday~Buffalo chicken sandwiches, fries (trying a Zaxby's recipe)
  • Wednesday~Chilibeans, Cornbread
  • Thursday~Breakfast (Omelettes or Wraps)
  • Friday~Pizza Penne Bake
  • Saturday~Hamburgers, Ranch Potatoes
May I also mention that for the entire month, there are NO repeats and I hope to make enough each night to fill up the freezer for future "crazy nights" with the holiday seasons coming. I will also be trying a new way of doing ground beef....will let you know if it works! Have a blessed day everyone!

Purex Complete Crystals Softener Review



As a Purex insider, we get the opportunity to try some of the products and write reviews. I was excited to receive my bottle, because I love the idea of an oil free softener. I was anxious to see how they worked on all kinds of clothes, and how my clothes would turn out because I mostly line dry. I LOVE the fact that you do not have to wait till the spin cycle to put the softener in. However, I did figure out that the things you have a lot of....the large loads like jeans and towels, not all crystals dissolve. I had to run an extra rinse cycle on the jeans. I do love the scent, I sampled the blue. Sometimes with line drying, you don't always get a pleasant smell after washing and fabric agents. With the crystals, you have a pleasant smell from start to finish. They did appear to be softer than normal fabric agents after line drying. Overall all, I would give this product 4 stars.

Do you want to try the product? I have 2 coupons that the company is allowing me to share for free products. Leave a comment on your favorite fabric agent or what you like about Purex Crystals if you have tried them. Winners will be picked at random on Monday, March 7th at noon.

***I only received a sample size product to try and write review. I have not been paid, reimbursed, or received any funds in trade for this review.***
