Well, I made this dish tonight and Mr. Awesome said he liked it so I knew I had to share it with everyone. This doesn't make it onto our menu plan very often but I have fixed to repeat a little more often. It does run a little bit on the more expensive side so it still won't make it as often as he would probably like.

Steak Paprika Over Egg Noodles

Ohhhhhh… sometimes I hate our internet… I had already written this cute little post with pictures and everything only to have our internet glitch and lose EVERYTHING!

So here we go again…

Today was a bit extremely hectic and I really didn’t feel like cooking want to cook but the little humans who had been EXTREMELY loud and crazy today were really getting on my nerves and Mr. Awesome had only asked me a few times what we were having for dinner so I figured that I should probably go ahead and get dinner started.

(Those freezer meals I put together the other day were really tempting me but Mr. Awesome had already seen ‘steak’ on the menu so freezer meals were ruled out.)

Oh my goodness, what a day I've had and it isn't even been lunchtime yet. I actually went to bed early last night as I was just so exhausted. Mr. Awesome had a meeting and wouldn't be home until late so I made the most of the evening. The kids helped me make Chili Dog Casserole for dinner. We made it a little bit different as we just put the hotdogs into hotdog buns, instead of tortillas, and then spread the chili sauce on top and sprinkled with cheese before baking. Mr. Awesome is not crazy about the tortilla version so we decided to give it a try this way and it was a WINNER!

Oh, What a day! Freezer meals, Pinterest Suspension, and No Toilet Paper

Have your kids ever climbed into your bed because they were afraid of the monsters under their bed? Well, you may need to make up some Bye, Bye Monster Spray to keep those pesky monsters away! Plus the lavender essential oil may even help your kids sleep a little better.

Diy Reusable Wipes

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

Do you feel guilty every time you grab that container of cleaning wipes from under the sink? I know I do, especially when it is so easy to make my own! Since we’ve gotten motivated to go further on our ‘chemical-free’ journey I have really been trying my best to eliminate nasty, toxic chemicals from our home in any way possible. These not only do that but they also save us a ton of money since we aren’t buying those expensive cleaning wipes anymore.

Do you hate spiders? Ok, well the itsy bitsy spider nursery rhyme is kinda cute but I don't want any spiders anywhere inside of my house and neither do the kids. This video made me think of how my kids act when they see a spider:
