When my besties Christian and Bethany were in town last weekend they were laughing about the random assortment of items I keep in my car and decided I needed to blog about it. So you actually have them to thank for this post! Before I show you the junk in my trunk, let me first […]

Sorry to leave you hanging for a few weeks; I’m sure you’ve been in complete suspense awaiting the next Sanity Saver! If there has ever been a month that challenged my sanity, this October has been it for sure. So, without further ado…. My second sanity-saving tip is creating a monthly menu rotation.

The past few weeks have been especially hectic around our house with Jason starting law school and me beginning a new full-time job. Thank goodness we only have a dog and a cat to keep alive; several of hubby’s classmates have young kiddos and I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be […]
