I had thought about posting my resolutions this year, but then changed my mind. I do have a plan to share  though, and I don’t know if my family is going to go along with it. I’m thinking that every season I will make one month a take-out free month. I’m giving it a trial run next month. I picked February to start, because it is the shortest month, and the weather is usually pretty wonky, so you don’t want to be out all that much anyway.  That also means I’ll be cooking my own birthday dinner, but that’s cool with me.

Last year we had a no take-out month, and the kiddos were pretty grumpy with me. I hope that this time around they will be a little bit better about it. I have a fun menu already planned, and I will have it up soon. I’ll pretty much be living in the kitchen cooking, and keeping up with the dishes around the clock. I also hope to share some shopping and saving tips as I go along with the experiment.

So what do you think about going take-out free? Would your family give it a thumbs up, or a big no way?

You probably guessed, yep it’s another snow day. Which is great, I’m really happy that school was canceled, the roads are a mess, but my goodness it is loud in here. The kids have been up and bouncing off the walls since 5:00 a.m.

I even took the boys out for a bit to play in the snow while I shoveled and cleaned off the cars. Still they are bouncing off the walls. It is going to be a long day, and it looks like there is even more snow heading our way. It had better be out of here by the weekend though, we have a road trip to get to.

Hope you are having a great day, and hopefully the weather is cooperating for you.
