Happy Tuesday, May 6, Beloved’s BIRTHDAY!!
Wow, it’s been a couple of weeks of intense “do this now” type rhythm. Our homeschool co-op wraps up this week until fall, the cottage school & college prep classes my kids attend have three more weeks I believe, and we have 7 weeks of “home school” to finish up. All of this and the beautiful 80 degree weather have us a little restless and bouncy. Right now two kids are here in the room, doing squats and talking about Barbara Manatee…
In all the spring craziness I have found a little time for “stock up” shopping. We were able to pair coupons from Swagbucks to stock up on ground turkey and hair care items.  We got a great deal on both items and earned 10 swagbucks for each coupon we used. Funny pair of items, but great all the same. I have four daughters here at home with LONG hair and they go through hair supplies like crazy. I will use the ground turkey for veggie turkey burgers tonight, and veggie turkey patties to put in the freezer. I am going to try grilling them instead of frying this time, and will post later in the week about the results.

Here’s what I am purposing to do this week:
