So much to do..

I spent almost 5 hours in the garage at Joe's parents this evening.. I feel like I got half of the sorting done.. Then comes washing what needs washing and pricing!! :-/ plus I have a boat load of stuff to go though here at home too!!! We are trying to downsize tremendously!! With only one child left to fill the girl clothes, my goal is one small tote for each size! 24months-2T = one tote, 3T = one tote, etc! That means depleting half of the clothes in each size!! Yup! That's right! My girls have enough clothes to clothe an army of little girls!! Haha

My goal is to have the garage sale August 26-28.. That way we can spend the 29th with kaylee!

Kaylee has chosen to go to Valleyfair with Joe and myself for a day! Even discount tickets are spendy! $26/each! So I told her in order to go to Valleyfair we will need to have the garage sale to have 'extra' money for that. She understands that we aren't made of money but doesn't understand just how expensive some things really are. Especially the fun things!!

Natalie was a very busy little girl today! She helped Uncle Eddie for most of the day.. She helped gather eggs from the chicken coop, she rode on the tractor while they bailed hay, and she played very hard outside at Grandma and Grandpa's house while I sorted clothes!! Needless to say, when she got home she was sent straight to the bathtub! She was dirt from head to toe! Haha! But she had fun and is now sound asleep!

Lily baby was extremely tuckered out too.. She played in her pack n' play in the garage while I sorted clothes! And she didn't have both her morning and afternoon naps today. She also must not be feeling very well compliments of teething! She has been running a low grade fever but has still been her typical smiley self! :)

Nathan has been very sleepy today! Go figure! He was up for two hours in the middle of the night and only went back to sleep for a couple of hours and then didn't take a morning nap.. His sisters didn't stay too quiet.. Oh well!

It's now after 10:00 so I'm going to head for bed soon.. Just waiting on mister man to fall asleep! :)

Marry Me Meatballs

 I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is.  Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped  1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder  Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach  Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

 Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal!  Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients  1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice  1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded  1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms  Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

Oh man! This side dish is absolutely one we will be keeping around! It’d be really good on the smoker too! I do feel like it’s missing some seasonings so the next go around we will play with adding in some smoked paprika and garlic too!  Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes Ingredients   8 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced 2 medium onion, sliced into rings salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 cups milk 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese   Directions   Gather all ingredients.
