Thankfully, we didn't get much snow over the weekend. It was cold, but not too cold. However, we didn't get a lick of wood split. We had lunch with the grandkids and who knew playing barbies and trucks and cars could be so exhausting (ha ha!). We plan on cutting wood (gulp) every night this week after he gets off work.
...and of course the pellet stove has not been installed. I'm going to print out his "to-do" list so he can see it daily. Maybe that will motivate him.
I made us a crock pot chicken Mexican style soup over the weekend. Although corn (cutting this out of the menu more often) was added, it was very good. I am so glad I found this Chia and Quinoa tortilla chips (all organic ingredients). Hubby can add a tiny bit of crunch and a small dollop of organic sour cream (although now I have to also watch the cholesterol a bit more).
Russell Crow (aka rooster) has not charged at me since the other incident. Not sure if he was just having a bad day or what.
Speaking of chicken, I'm having a horrible time locating organic turkey. I even tried the organic farm 1 hour from our place. Nope. I guess I'll be trying the health store today.
I have a new recipe to try this week. Crossing my fingers I get the time to make it.
Today I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

What I am creating . . .
The last order - Xl pot holder in gray. I still need to write the list of what I need restocked, so I can stay on track.
From the camera . . .
We saw this over the weekend in another town. I love the idea of recycling the newspaper/magazine stands into free food pantries. There is much need for it I am sure.
Chore I am not looking forward to today . . .
Not really a chore, but more of self care chore - working out.
To relax this week I will . . .
Write and read.
On my prayer list . . .

I think Russel Crow is honestly the best name for a rooster. I make a stew with cabbage, very similar to yours.
Have a beautiful week :)
In a poor area of town they put up a fridge where people can leave their leftovers and whatever for the homeless. There are restaurants around and they put stuff in the fridge too.
I too make to-do lists for my husband.. it's just to help him along :)
Have a great week
