Trying something new

I have recently become unemployed.  Despite applying for many jobs I find myself doing the single mom thing on a very limited budget.  So here I am trying to save my sanity as well and trying to make ends meet.  I have so many blessings to count despite challenges. I mean, we all have challenges, right!? So I'm choosing to see the bright side.  I got to see my 1st grader, Brenna, off on her first day of school today!  Then I took a walk with Cailyn, my 3 year old.  She was so excited when she realized that Brenna being at school meant that she got to play with her toys.Two weeks ago, I got to spend the day of Cailyn's birthday with her.  I've never gotten to spend the day with my girls on their birthdays. 

Today I wrote out a menu for the next week and a half using what I've got and the sales fliers from the grocery store.  I've also ordered this months "Bread of Life" box from Angle Food Ministries.  I will be able to pick that up on the 27th. Then the next few weeks menus will be based on that.  If you are looking for a great value you should take a look. You don't have to have any income limitations to be able to get it.

And just so you know, I've never been a cook. I'm still learning as I go. My momma made everything in the microwave. And velveeta was a main staple in most meals.  I loved my momma to death, but cooking was not her forte. My ex husband was the cook of the family previously. So this is all new territory.
