Menus and My New Favorite Blog

I used to be so good about making my menus out..I've been in a funk for awhile, and I haven't..I've looked at the services that do it for me, but, most of them don't have food that my family (or me) likes to eat....thanks to Pinterest, I stumbled upon this blog..eat at home and I think I love her.....

This week's menu that I am using is Summer menu year 3, week 21.

Hope you will take a look and I hope she can help you as much as she has helped me..

Anxiety

Most of my life, the anticipation of an event where I must be dressed up as always given way to that awful, sickening anxious feeling....Today, at 32, is still no exception.  I am co-host of many hosts and hostesses this evening for a wedding shower with a Stock the Bar theme...I have nothing to wear, literally...I'm stressing, yep, stressing...
