Six Word Saturday- Come join us!

Hope the baby sleeps in today.

Is it teething?  Could her reflux be back (can it come back?) Or is it just plain bad behavior?  This little chica has been getting up anytime she feels like it and momma is TIRED!  She got up today at 4:30 AM.  I threw her a bottle and I went back to bed.  She has no idea how great sleep is....

Cool Apps For Your Iphone (and some mommy time savers, too!)

Here are some of my faves:

PhonyPhone

This gives me a few extra minutes of peace when the little one is stuck running errands with me.

Diapers.com

You can buy diapers, baby food, formula, clothes and tons of other stuff for your little one. 

Peapod

It even saves your past orders, making food shopping quick, painless, and quiet (no screaming kids).

Pandora

Free music! I play it in my car and at home.  It's a great way to find new bands.

Groupon

I am addicted!  Enough said!

What are your faves?

Wordless Wednesday

Taking Care Of Mommy

What do you do to take care of you?  As a mommy, I make sure the children are well fed, attend school, and stay healthy.  As I look at myself, I realize I am neglecting ME.  I am not eating great (left over mac and cheese is not a meal), not taking time to read, and not exercising AT ALL.  I am burning out quickly.
I have been taking a nutrition course online that has started me thinking about the importance of activity in our daily lives.  I have learned that aerobic activity not only decreases stress, but regulates hormones and boosts self confidence. As a mommy of 3, I could definitely use a little "regulation".So I decided to make a goal for myself.  I am starting to run!  
I have been looking at baby joggers for months and finally decided to make a purchase.  I will begin training for a 5K in December.  Since I am NOT a runner (I am barely a walker), I will be starting slowly by alternating walking and running until I can jog. My oldest son has also expressed an interest in running.  I am hoping to bring the entire family on board. 

Let the running begin!

So if you are in my area on Saturday morning, look for me at the high school track.  I will be the one being carried by an 8 year old.  Just kidding- I hope!
What do you do to take care of yourself?

Do you have an ICE?

ICE- In Case of Emergency

I just heard about this recently. ICE should be place in front of your emergency person in your cell phone contacts.  For example, my husband is listed as ICE Phil in my contacts list.  This gives first responders valuable information in the case that I am unconscious and need assistance.

Add ICE to your contacts today

Thank you Mr. Perdue for Saving Dinner

So as you can tell from my posts (or lack of posts I should say) I have had a difficult time getting back to work (I am a teacher) and back to my children's school schedules.There is the initial challenge of getting everyone where they need to be in the morning.  After work is one big taxi ride between a gazillion activities (baseball, soccer, religion, etc...)  I finally feel like I am getting the hang of it (in October!).

My next challenge is DINNER!  I have tried crockpotting it, cooking ahead, eating pancakes, it just so hard for me.  My kids are not  picky eaters, they just are basic- chicken, macaroni, and a veggie.  I am really trying to watch our grocery budget lately.  We are spending too much money on fast food and take-out because I am just so exhausted by the time we get home after all our our stops.
In my last supermarket visit, I found this:

PERDUE OVEN READY ROASTER 

This was super easy to make and NO MESS!  

All I did was preheat the oven (400 degrees), lined a roasting pan with aluminum foil, and opened the outer bag.  Inside was a marinated roaster in a cooking bag.  I cut a small slit, plopped the bagged bird onto the pan, and popped it in the oven. 

I followed the cooking directions as listed and an hour and 45 minutes later, I have a delicious roasted chicken.  

I paid $8.99 for the roaster.  Yes, I know that if I shopped around I could have probably gotten a better deal on the chicken and marinated it myself.  This is a great alternative if you are in a rush and want a healthy and easy meal.  This is much a better option than fast food or take-out and cheaper, too!  I served my roaster with corn on the cob (from the farm- YUM) and a ceasar salad (E Tu salad kit). 

The Perdue Oven Ready Roasters make a great meal and are worth giving a try.  I have not checked prices from store to store, so they may even be cheaper depending on where you shop.  Maybe there is even a coupon?  

What are your cooking shortcuts?  Share them!

The closest I get to science is The Big Bang Theory

Guest post written by Emily Rogerson

I remember when I used to do my homework in high school and college for my required college classes, I used to think about how glad I would be once I had a job in the real world where I didn't have to deal with science. Well my job now doesn't require that I deal with science. But now I also have to worry about helping my son out with his science homework. Besides that, the closest that I get to science is watching The Big Bang Theory.

I wouldn't think that I would have liked a show that had to do with science, but I heard so many good things about the show that I gave it a try and loved it. I also like to read some of the show spoilers that I can find online with my Clear Internet.
