Boxes, Boxes, and Boxes oh my!

Well this is my first post in our new house!

 :) I am so in love with this house. :)

This week we will be eating out more than usual...since I am still in the process of trying to find my kitchen...so I won't be posting a menu with recipes this week. But I will be back next week with a cozy fall menu.

I must share a picture of the our new home! More pictures to come of the inside as I get it unpacked. :)

Have a great week in the kitchen!!
Blessings and love!!

This Week's Menu/Plan (Oct 23rd)

It's moving week!! And it is a packing/cleaning frenzy in the Jones house. It is amazing how much we accumulate in such a short time. But after 5 boxes and 5 trash bags of "stuff" and a toter full of garbage, I am finally beginning to see the light at the end of the clutter tunnel! ;)

This week we will be taking fall break off from school so that I am able to get everything done that I need to. (which Trey is so upset about...note the sarcasm ;) ) So this week's menu is going to consist of easy and simple meals (considering the majority of my kitchen is going to be packed up and I am going to be insanely busy). Thanks to Pinterest and some great go to crock-pot meals, I am hoping for a successful week. :) Well here we go!

My Weekly Plan (Oct 16th)

Well, a lot of changes are taking place in the Jones house...

We are MOVING!! We originally had planned on moving to Hopkinsville, KY at the end of this year, but due to some new direction we will be staying in good ol' Indiana. :)

My husband recently accepted a new job as the media director at our church, Grace Assembly of God, which is located in Whiteland about 40 minutes away from Columbus. So we have decided to move closer to save money and time on his commute. This week's mission...to get everything ready for a yard sale this weekend...(BLAH!!) I have to say we have WAY too much that I don't want to move. So I am purging and boy does it feel good! :) So with that purging, I am trying to clean out my pantry and freezer so I don't have a lot to move with us, all the while trying to keep it simple since I am homeschooling, sleep deprived, and attempting to pack. (whew...that makes me tired just reading it!)
