Menu Plan Monday

We didn't get to all of the meals I had planned last week! I ran away with the kids to the coast to escape the heat. We had a great time camping out in La Push, we even got rained on over there. I was wonderful to cool down and to spend time exploring over there. We can't wait to go back!

My new favorite thing

I love books! But, if I sit down to read a book 8 hours can go by without me getting to to do anything, the kids can tear down the house and I wouldn't notice~! I have learned that the best way to get my fill of reading is to listen to books on tape. In the past I have checked out all the audio books from the library and added them to my Itunes; this can be a very time consuming task though.
I just just found out that through my library system inline I can download books directly to my Ipod. It takes just a few minutes per book. The system is called Overdrive Media. It is free from my King county Library System. Check your library to find out if it available in your area.

We are home!

We had a great time in Utah, but are so glad to be home! I miss all the fresh produce that I can get here, and the cooler weather, 90 is too hot for me!

No menu plan this week. I am cleaning out the fridge and freezer. I just shopped for a bunch of produce and few basics like milk and eggs.

No menu plan this week, we are making a quick trip to Utah.
