Monday: Baked Ziti and garden salad.
Tuesday: I had a coupon so we had Boston Market Chicken pot pie, Rotisserie Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn bread (at home I made frozen peas)
Wednesday: Indian Chicken salad pockets; this recipe came from my "biggest loser" cook book and I will make a separate batch minus the curry for my kids. I find that if my food is flavorful I will eat less.
Thursday: Ground turkey tacos, my husband and I will eat them on romaine lettuce instead of the taco shell. Can you tell we are trying to go low simple carb???
Friday: Pizza for the kids and grilled chicken salad for mommy and daddy....
Saturday: Cheesy Eggplant Lasagna, recipe again from my "biggest loser" cookbook and only 196 cal.
Sunday: Chicken and dumplings.... what can I say but YUM!!!
I'm a working professional, who is trying to be the best Mother and Wife that I can be by creating a happy, warm home that is inspired by casual elegance. I will try to journal those most important aspects as they happen. And as the New Year rings in I vow to get my life, home and family organized and doing so in a loving and fun way while trying to do so with casual elegance. Follow my journey as I document projects, big or small.

Let the fun begin, Basement closet project
Here is what I started with, Oy!!! where to begin. I decided the easiest thing was to just bring it all out, filling up my basement family room. I placed things in like piles and ended up trowing out 1/4 of if. Relief sets in, as it starts to come together. After 2 days......
I have the beginnings of an organized closet. But don't let the bare shelves fool you. There is still several items on the floor of my family room.
I had boxes and bags of ribbon and gift wrapping adornments. I took plastic containers and shallow boxes to organize according to either color group, season or holiday. It fits neatly on a newly cleaned shelf.
I now see happiness over my husbands face, which surprisingly makes me happy too. Happy Family :-)
I'll post a photo of the final project, but give me until the end of the weekend.......
