Over the last 12 months something has happened.  It has been an evolution that I didn’t even realize was happening.  My kids are growing….not rocket science I know.  But the amount of food they are consuming is huge.  They aren’t gaining massive amounts of weight like I would If I ate non-stop.  I just don’t understand how they can eat from the time they get up till the time they go to bed and not be as big as a house.  What is their secret?! If only we could bottle that child-like metabolism.

In the meantime, I will live at the grocery store trying to keep my fridge stocked for my human vacuums.

I am learning that weather in Iowa is like a Yo-Yo…it goes up and down….really wherever it wants.  One day it is 80 the next 50.  It is going to drive me crazy!  It is not what I am used to.  So, my menu plan will probably be all over the place like the weather, since it can’t decide if it want to be Spring yet.
