I Can Relate

I've been reading a great book "Mom to Mom, Day to Day Advice & Support for Catholic Living" by Danielle Bean (even though it is aimed at catholic moms, we are all in the same boat). It's just one of those books that you pick up and begin reading and say "oh my that's me". I have found many times in this adventure of being a mom, where I stop and think am I alone, am I the only mom whose going thru this. The truth is "NO". We all have our moments where we may explode or get upset over spilt milk, we are all human. As she stated in her book "I really want to emphasize the fact that no one is perfect. Every mom loses patience and raises her voice now and then, sometimes unfairly. If nothing else, I hope that anxious moms will understand this: Messing up sometimes and losing your temper doesn't mean you are a bad mother. It means you are human. Apologize, pray for the strength to respond more lovingly the next time, and then get back to peeling the potatoes."
Can you relate?

To Plan or not to Plan?

Summer time is alot more relaxed and laid back at our house. More playing outside, enjoying the summer weather. But I found this week that I have been really stumped with meals. I like to try new things and in the summer we grill ALOT!(less clean up and mess in the kitchen).
So I'm curious do you meal plan? If you do, are you able to stick to it?


P.S. Do any of you have some great grilling recipes other than brats and burgers? I'd love to hear them.
