Menu Plan Monday
My big boy is officially THIRTEEN today! Above is a photo from when he was about seven years old, the little cutie. I am pretty sure it was only a couple of years ago that I brought him to preschool, so I don’t know how he could have turned 13 on me…
This is the last week of summer. Boy, has it flown by! Is it crazy that I have had something on EVERY weekend this summer (either on the weekend or I was getting ready for the crazy upcoming week) EXCEPT for this weekend the very LAST weekend of the summer. The kids sure kept me hopping, but it was a lot of fun. When the kids go back to school, I think I am taking a nap!
Head over to the Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday and get on in the fun (she even has a give away this week)! For gluten free goodness, check out the Gluten Free Menu Swap hosted this week by Fresh Ginger. The ingredient theme is eggplant. Mine is coming along nicely in the garden. I hope to make some Baba Ghanoush with some of the eggplant this weekend. Yum!
