Weekends
This weekend contained:
-me ignoring clutter.
-me caving in to peer pressure and making this Peppermint Bark. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am unable to eat it because of all the dairy in it. I tried and felt awful. Lactaid pills are only so magical for me. The family LOVES it.
-making potato and leek soup that was super yummy! (with homemade bread)
-knitting while the kids are playing video games.
-doing way more laundry than I usually do.
-trying to come up with my menu plans, I was getting very comfortable cooking for two.
