Quick and Easy Groceries

Staying with my mom gave me the idea to post my shopping list. Sounds weird and random I know. She was very reluctant to try it, but actually told me last week it was growing on her...so I thought maybe I would share it with everyone. As I have mentioned in the past, I really dislike shopping, and grocery shopping is no exception.

So I developed this system, not that I take credit for the idea, I just designed my own shopping "chart." It is a great way to spend less at the store, waste less at home, go to the store less frequently, and not have to rack your brains at dinnertime. (Don't I just sounds like the little house wife!) It's pretty self explanatory...you write down your dinner plans for the week, then go through each one and jot down the ingredients. I put breakfast items etc, at the top.

It works great. At the end of the week you have saved hours and cash. Love it. Hopefully it prints nicely! My printer isn't working at the moment so I couldn't test it....

A Change of Scenery

Obviously I am a blogging delinquent. Well, I can't dwell on that...I do the best I can. I have been painting up a storm since I left our little house in Florida. Temporarily. There certainly has been a lot going on...much too much to mention in one post...which is good...now I will have plenty to keep me writing!
I love the contrast of these two photos. The one is looking out over the St. John's River down the street from our house. I took it the night before I left Florida...and what a night! It was the perfect temperature and Henry and I soaked up the beautiful sunset before we left for chilly New Jersey. The second is...you guessed it...New Jersey. The remnants of winter. It is beautiful here now. The leaves are just popping out and there is a photo everywhere you look. It is a nice break being out of the city and spending time with family. So, at the moment I am just enjoying spring and preparing for the next event put on by Jen at Earth Angels. (See details left) Must get back to painting...more to come.
