Check!
I know to some this goal is probably a cakewalk. But, I confess, ashamedly, that eating at home is not something we are great at doing. It's my fault. I hate cooking. (But I LOVE baking. No idea where the disconnect is...)
Anyway, this goal was actually easily attainable, thanks almost 100% to Sam and his willingness to cook. He made dinner for the past week, and I took the leftovers for lunch every day. Sounds like cheating to me. But it counts because we didn't spend a dime on eating out, and that was the motive behind this goal.
Also thanks go to Sam for allowing me to stand him up on our weekly Thursday lunch date so I could reach my 21st meal. Just to make sure I reached the goal, we dined in last night, and I didn't even stop at DD for a coffee to celebrate this morning. That puts me at 23 consecutive meals without dining out. (Not that coffee is a "meal" per se, but you know...sometimes it is.) Hooray!
I am almost certain this trend will continue. We are tired of wasting our money dining out. And Sam is a FABULOUS cook. (Love you!)
Imagined up by
Behind the Madness
- Jennie
- Just an easily-distracted, excessively-random, 30-something Christian wife and working mom->turned stay at home mom-->turned homeschooling mom of eight perfectly imperfect children. Clearly, I'm just the clay. God's having fun molding me.
My Better Half
Sam had no idea what he signed up for when he married this girl. For over 18 years, he's been my rock, my giggle partner, my best friend.
Bright Ben
Our eldest child - At nearly 12 years, he's really polishing his personality. He speaks no less than a million words per day and doesn't really care who's listening. Great sense of humor, this kid. And he's got a real soft spot for his smallest siblings.
Amazing Abby
At nearly nine years old, she has taken on the role of little mama. She can be counted on to take care of everyone around her. She thrives on praise. You can usually find her outside.
Sweet Sarah
Our middlest child - At six years, she can always be counted on for a big hug or sweet snuggle. She says the most hilarious things. She stays cool under pressure. We're pretty sure she's going to make a great ER nurse/dr some day.
Lovable Leah
Our fourth blessing, at three years old, she is practicing her best attorney skills. Smart as a whip, hilarious, and...passionate, we just adore (not so) little Leah.
Neat Noah
Number 5 - He finally made the sidebar, after nearly two years. He might not have been present on the blog but he has been oh-so-present in our home. This kid is noisy, boisterous, and precious. A force if we've ever had one. But those eyes! And that dimple!

that's great! I know sometimes it's so much easier to just go through the drive thru. LOL about coffee sometimes being a meal!
Starbucks is my breakfast most days. I am extremely impressed with your willpower and I won't let Jared see this blog because I think he'll make me try to do this. And I would fail. Miserably.
