Summer Projects

Image found here

Right now, I am in full on Summer mode. I am ready for the warm weather, not subbing for a few months, and soaking up all Summer has to offer! I think that this time is a great opportunity to work on projects that you put off throughout the year. I know I have a few that I want to do, and I want to share them with you!

Project #1: Organizing my Drawers


  • I have some drawers where things are just thrown in there. In one drawer I have SEVERAL lipsticks, my camera, extra jewelry that doesn't fit in my jewelry box in there. I want to get my lipsticks into a small bin, and place my jewelry in a bin so I can easily grab it when I need it. 
  • My sock and undergarment drawer is a mess! It seems like I have a lot of socks with holes in them, and I just need to get rid of them! I have a few new pairs that wouldn't fit in my drawer, so I am going to swap the old ones out for the new ones.
Project #2: Create A Blog Binder

  • In this binder, I want to include a monthly calendar, and a weekly calendar. I also want to include some paper to jot post ideas down. This way I can continue to become more prepared with my blog. I can also plan ahead to different holidays and not be rushing around trying to create my blog posts for the week. Do you have any ideas I can add to my binder??
What are your projects for this Summer? I'd love hear about them! Leave me a comment and let me know!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

High Five for Friday

Friday is here again! It is always a wonderful way to bring in the weekend. Here is what I loved this week. 1. I made another visit to Freedom Farms. I bought some apples, and bread. 2. I absolutely loved my Birchbox and Ipsy bags this month! The Ipsy review is coming tomorrow! 3. I am subbing today and I got to wear my jeans to school. I love days like that. 4. I just want it to be Christmas, because I have some amazing posts for you already planned out! 5. I discovered that McDonald's iced coffee with caramel is AMAZING! Thanks, Lauren for the link up! What about you? How was your week? Leave me a comment , I'd love to hear from you!

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
