Here's a new update on my Valentine list. I won't be getting everything checked off again, but that's ok. Throw in working full time, weekly errands, family time, and rest and I feel this month had some great accomplishments!

Eat our traditional Valentine's Day meal
-My husband loves ground beef patties, with mashed potatoes and gravy. So, heart shaped patties and gravy poured into hulled out heart in potatoes. Ok, now I know this is corny, but it puts a smile on my family's face. :)
Need to print out planner I won by random draw and put to use
-I won a planner by random draw. I downloaded and printed it this month and began checking of the list daily. I really love this planner that gives and nice daily chore list and daily Bible reading. I've got it on my refrigerator and check things off as I go.
Try homemade body wash recipe
Infamous Apron needs completing
Need to get back in the habit of weekly savings with coupons
Exercise with my daughter by learning one clogging routine
-Now I haven't learned the whole routine, but I did practice with my daughter some this month.
Super Bowl Sunday Favorites (make everyone's requests)
-So we all agreed on Chilli. I made a big batch so that I could take some to work for lunches. It's a very simple recipe.
Brown 2 lbs. of ground beef, add 2 packs of chill mix with a little water. In a big pot pour 2 large cans of tomato sauce, 2 small cans of diced tomatoes, add ground beef, I usually add a few more spices to taste like Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Chilli Powder, a little Cumin. This is how I like to eat my chill…..

Declultter for 15 minutes a day as often as possible

Artistic craft of some kind with daughter
Yellow sachets for drawers/closets/gifts (by repurposing an old shower curtain)
I will soon be posting my list for next month. I will also be on vacation next month which should give me some time to blog and check off lots of things on the list.
Have a great day!
