Tales of a Tired Mom

What's on the Menu Monday XVI? So I wouldn't exactly call this a dinner menu for the week. But I just wanted to have some fun! Lots of good comfort food. Quick post. This is what I currently have going on in my fridge/pantry so I am using what I got... What's on the Menu Monday XVI? Sunday - For my pigs in a blanket, I only had full size hot dogs and crescent rolls so that's what I used. Monday - Today is national corn dog day. So we are going to honor that day and have a quick ... VIEW POST

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own. Woodloch, you have our whole hearts. Our family had the greatest weekend and made so many special memories together. We have found our new winter tradition. Check out their website here... http://www.woodloch.com My Woodloch Story I'll be honest, winter is not my most favorite season. I love a good snow day.

100 Days of School Ideas Do your kids celebrate the 100th day of school. Need an easy and cheap last minute idea?? I got you. Last year I was scrambling at the last minute to make my daughter a shirt for the 100th day of school. I got her a t shirt and a bin of pom poms and we glued 100 on.

I am going to make this one super short because the kids are about to come home from school but I want to share this week's menu since it's been a while. So this week I am basing my menu off of my sunday sauce, which I made on Saturday, so that I could use it for a few other meals. What's on the Menu Monday XV? Sunday - Pasta & Peas - You know that sauce you ... VIEW POST

There is nothing better than a big pot of sauce cooking on the stove. I never make just enough for one dinner. I need to have extra sauce to use for other meals during the week but I love to have some in the freezer too. Just in case. So when I knew I wanted to make homemade lasagna, I made a huge pot of sauce the night before. As you can surely tell from this picture... we woke up like this lol! Pajamas, crazy hair, and ready to cook! You most definitely do not need to make your own ... VIEW POST

Merry Christmas Eve. I can not believe it is Christmas Eve. The time from Thanksgiving until now has absolutely flown by. I love the holiday season but it can all be so overwhelming. Sending Christmas cards, buying gifts, cooking, baking, traveling etc. All things I love to do but just not at the same time. Like every year, I plan to take a nice family photo for our Christmas card and like every year I run out of time or can’t make up my mind. This year I decided forget the cards, ... VIEW POST
