Meal Plan 1/18 - 1/24

This is week two of my new plan to come up with a meal plan for the week and to have a crockpot meal every Monday, which in addition to having Hello Fresh twice a week really simplifies my planning and, of course, significantly shortens my cooking time that day.  But this Monday is a holiday, so I was going to save it for a work day but then I decided to just have TWO crockpot meals this week.  Easy.  Plus, having one tomorrow will be really convenient because I have a lot of miscellaneous projects/chores to do so it will be nice not to have to stop to make dinner.

Monday - Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos

Tuesday - Hello Fresh Beef Bulgogi Meatballs


Wednesday - Hello Fresh Figgy Balsamic Pork


Thursday - Tex-mex Chicken and Rice Soup

Friday - Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells (and I'll add sausage.  Also this is a bulk recipe so you can freeze some for later use.  I need to do more of that.)

Saturday - going to the in-laws for my birthday dinner

Sunday - my birthday!  Take-out meal of my choice

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
