E-Mealz Awesomeness...

Ok, so I found this link on the Dave Ramsey website....and it is awesome. E-Mealz is an online menu planner that gives you the recipes and grocery lists for 5 days worth of meals for 2 (and there are family plans too...) AND their prices. A new menu is sent to you every week. They keep the cost for an entire week of meals under $45. Also, the recipes are very simple! So, I decided to try it. I really want to cook more, but it always just seems so expensive. SO, I signed up for their 2-person Wal-mart plan. It gave me a grocery list with each item and how much it costs at Wal-mart. I went to Wal-mart and BEHOLD! I bought the groceries for a week's worth of meals PLUS some extra stuff for $44. Last night I made the first meal, poppy seed chicken, and it was SO GOOD! Daniel loved it! Anyway, I just want to share this awesome site with everyone because I can tell it's going to help us eat better and for less money. Does it get any better than that? I submit that it cannot!

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

So I Was in a Show...

When I got back from Dubai, I was B-O-R-E-D.  I was looking for work (since my time at Ecker Hill Middle School ended when the normal teacher came back from sick leave) and nothing was coming up.  I was a stay at home wife. Not cool. So, I decided to audition for a musical-- Lucky Stiff .  It was my first audition in the Salt Lake Valley.  I doubted I would get in the first show I auditioned for since I knew no one in this part of Utah and I assumed it was probably even more competitive than in Provo. Regardless, I went for it...and got the lead female role!  I was shocked, not only that I had got cast as a lead but also that I got cast as the ingenue!  I tried to think back to all the parts I had previously played and I could not think of one role that would be considered an ingenue role.  I'm always the villain or the quirky weird character, which has always been fine because those are great roles to play.  For example: My senior year i...

A Blog About Love

I just wanted to spread the word about the cutest blog my friend turned me on to.  It's called "A Blog About Love." The husband and wife who write it were both previously divorced and they use the blog to share what they've learned about dealing with divorce, infertility, and most of all...how to create a happy marriage.  They also offer online classes! If you want to read the blog, they have a button titled "Start at the Beginning."  They only started the blog last year so it's easy to catch up and follow their love story.   I really like the blog because it comes from two people who have seen what does NOT work in a marriage and they have both used their difficult circumstances to make their lives better. How cute are they? Anyway, I really admire what they're doing.  The blog is a great daily marriage pick-me-up.  It gives me hope and reminds of of essentials needed to stay happy.  Check it out and let me know what you think! ...
