Wife, Then Mama

So you might have noticed on my meal plans that on Fridays, for lunch, we have a Popcorn Party!  This is something I made up. Basically I just cut up cheese, and fruits and veggies that the girls and I enjoy eating, and we make some delicious air popped popcorn for lunch.  It is of course drenched in yummy butter.  Then we pick out a fun movie to watch and eat on the floor in the family room. There are two rules to a Popcorn Party: You have to eat your healthy food before you dig into the popcorn.  Just popcorn is not a meal.

The girls making popcorn   It is pretty fun, and I like to think that by making it a weekly thing its something fun they look forward to.  I know they love making the popcorn with me, because when we are running late for lunch and I make it ...

I did something that I have been wanting to do since forever. I signed up for cable for the Christmas season. My mom always was on board for doing that too, but we lived in the middle of no where and it cost thousands of dollars to get the cable brought out to our house. And satellite requires a contract. I canceled my Netflix and signed up for the cable. Its only a $12 difference.
