I have cut my dinner making time down by at least 1/2! How you ask? It is really simple. When I get home from the grocery store, I take 10 minutes and cook up all the meat that I bought. Usually I purchase 10-20 lbs of meat, so I stick it into 2 big pots and fry it up. When its all browned, I drain and rinse it and then stick about a pound into baggies. I freeze the baggies and then when I need them for a dinner, Pull them out and defrost for 2 minutes in the microwave. While its dethawing, I throw the other contents of dinner into a pot, pan or baking dish and TADA! Dinner is donw. Prep time has gone from 30-45 minutes to 10 minutes tops! Plus, I only have to worry about raw meat yuckiness 1 time every few weeks instead of every night.
I wish I would have started doing this years ago, so now I’m sharing with you.

Don’t judge me too harshly. Lately, when the kids are driving me absolutely NUTS, I can take a little pleasure in a Dr. Pepper. I love it. After a few minutes I have the energy to deal with it all again (I’m sure its all due to the sugar and caffine) and Mom is MUCH happier.
So now my first thought when I’m feeling a little cranky is “I need a Dr. Pepper” which is a little sad. Today I tried to substitute it for some chocolate and a butterscotch bar. It worked for a little while, but soon enough the grumpies were back.
For now, I’m resisting the urge to go and purchase a stockpile of the stuff. We shall see how my willpower is doing tomorrow. ;o)

Life has certainly been CRAZY lately. Baby E. has decided that she’s about to walk. Her favorite things to do are to climb the stairs and play in the toilet. (yuk!) I am constantly putting up the gate and closing the bathroom door, but no matter how hard I try, the other 3 don’t understand WHY mom freaks out so much!
Cookie got shots and her checkup for Kindergarten this next school year. She’s excited, but doesn’t understand the concept of “Summer break” so I’m sure there are tears coming soon!
Tater comes up with some of the cutest things to say. He announced that “Daddy is my BESTEST Buddy” the other day. Melted our hearts.
Superkid is a big softy. He puts on a tough face, but inside he has such a tender heart. He is excelling in school and at the top of his class. His teacher had to dust off some books that haven’t been used in a while since he was reading WAY above his grade level. He loves it.
Jefe is busy with school and now with Scouting. He constantly makes me fall in love with him and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband.
Me? I’m working my Story Time Felts business and continuing to work on my website, Time4Felt.com. I have moved up to #1 recruiter in the company and I’ve been #2 in sales most of months in 2010! It is rewarding to see my business flourishing. We’ve been working on a garden and even have our first strawberry growing ;o)
So that’s the quick update. One of my goals is to blog more regularly. Look for more posts coming soon!
