100 Hats For Preschool 2025

 I delivered the hats for a local preschool last week.  93 were made by my mom and I added 7 to make the 100. Here’s the video showing all 100 that I donated.

I Got Busy

 Once again I disappeared. Life got busy.  Menu planning has been sporadic but it has kinda been necessary, especially for lunches. I have had the privilege of watching my grandson every morning. It has been a bit since I had a baby to watch. I am getting better at it and I think we have things figured out.  Anyway I’m back, until I forget or get busy again. 

Today before we headed to church I put some chicken legs in the crockpot. Not for a meal but for Hubby to snack on.

On the way home from church I picked up some things i needed for Lunch today and tomorrow and supper tomorrow. 

Lunches are Johnsonville jalapeno and cheddar sausages on sandwich bread and sun chips.  I picked up some potatoes and some extra sharp cheddar cheese. 

I have some more chicken legs that i am going to make oven fried chicken with. I am going to serve that with mashed potatoes and gravy and homemade cheddar bay biscuits. 

My DIL brought us a couple big slices of chocolate cake. We will share one for dessert. 

To help the process go quicker tomorrow evening i am going to get my flour and spices mixed in a zipper bag so it is ready to go.  

Until next time………..

What did we eat June 9th to 12th?

​

We are now on week 7 of the "eating out" ban. We did good this week and resisted the urge to eat out 😂. 

I am posting after we have had our meals for the week instead of trying to “plan ahead”.  That doesn’t always work here lately because of prices being higher than expected or lack of inventory at the grocery store and having to replan on the fly, which is never good for me. 😂

Lunchs:

M: frozen burritos

T: bologna sandwichs and a sausage (for hubby)with chips

W: sausages and chips for hubby [homemade] beef n barley soup and carrots for me

TH: hubby: had the last of the sausages and leftover roast n taters. I had a bologna sandwich and chips

Suppers:

M: Roast and taters in crockpot (i also used the broth from the roast and taters and made myself some beef n barley soup for future meals)

T: (date night) fixed hubby a steak and we both had mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy

W: made quesadillas using leftover roast from Monday.

Thanks for stopping by.  Honestly this weekly menu post has helped me a little bit. 🥰 I must continue on. Let me know if it has helped you as well. 

Wednesday night church is over until school starts back up. Thursday supper through Sunday supper we will be eating at work.

I Have Been Working On Preemie Hats

 I've made 19 preemie hats so far.  I plan to donate them to a local Ronald McDonald House this month.  I do plan to make a few more.  I also have some that one of the ladies in a local crochet group made (not pictured here), and she also made a couple of the preemie octopus.  She plans to bring me a few more next week.

I'm both scared and excited to donate these hats.  I've never donated to RMH before so scared because I don't know what to expect, and excited for a new item I can make and have a place to donate them.  I hope the donation process goes smoothly.

I have been trying to make a variety of sizes, but my hats seem to mostly come out 5 pound and 6 pound preemie size.  I have managed a few smaller ones though.  Smaller hook size is the key I think.  

What We Ate June 2-6, 2025

We are now on week 6 of the "eating out" ban, and we always seem to find a reason to eat out 😂.

Finally Worked on Santa Alien a Bit More

 I have been dreading  crocheting the arms and legs on my Santa Alien project. They are so small.  I finally decided to take the plunge and attempt the arms.  It took me about an hour and a half to crochet both of them, but I got it done.  Boy oh boy did my hands and wrist hurt from working the small pieces. 

They are so small around that they fit on a pencil 😲.  Hopefully it won’t take me as long to gather the courage to make the legs.
