Meals For Moving

I hate it every time we move all we do is eat fast food crap for 3 or 4 days. So this time I am planning on making some moving meals. Make ahead or crock pot meals that we can take to the new house and eat.
So after scouring Pinterest for an hour I found the following ideas that I think my family and I will love.

Namesake Week 5 and 6 Postponed Till After The Move

Well moving day is quickly approaching and I have soooo much to do to get ready, so I have postponed the final 2 chapters of namesake till after we move. Moving is one of the worst things. Between choosing paint colors, packing, training the dog and going on a weekend trip to see my parents things are going to get very busy. Not to mention all the things that I have to get done during and after the move.

I normally do really good with moves, but with my back issues and now the MS I find moving really hard. I want to help and I can't so I have to turn over control to others. Tell people where to put things and unload as I can. Plus try and keep Cloe busy and out of the way. Whewww I'm tired just thinking about it all.

Currently I'm on the hunt for meals to make ahead and eat during the move, so we aren't eating out for three days. I will post some meal recipes that I find tomorrow or Friday.

A Rainy Day and Play Dough

So it has been raining here for about 2 days and so my little Cloe has been board. So today we tried out making our own play dough. It was so much fun and pretty easy too.

Here is where I found the recipe kristanlynn.com or you can find it on my pinterest page under CLOE.

I didn't really take that many photos (kind of hard to take a bunch while having a three year old on a chair next to the stove).

We followed the recipe as directed with the following changes

We used a smaller pot which made it easier to stir and we added some glitter while it cooked.

Here are the directions from Kristan Lynn

Ingredients: 1 C Flour
1 C Water
1/4 C Salt
1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
2 tsp Cream of Tarter
Food Coloring (actual coloring or a kool-aid packet will do)
Sparkles (If you wanna be a fun mom!)
Sauce Pan and Wooden Spoon Little helping hands.

We ran out of salt so we are off to the store to get some more so we can make some more colors. ENJOY
