Tupperware Tuesday

I am going to start a Tupperware Tuesday. For those of you that know me, you know I sell Tupperware, and most of you know how much I really love the product. I am going to (try) each week to showcase a product I love, something new, or some good product info. All Tupperware realted, of course. Who knows, there might even me some awesome recipes to go along with some of the products! :) I hope you all enjoy learning about the company I love!
 I would also love to hear from you! If you have a Tupperware product that is your favorite, let me know! If you have never seen/heard of Tupperware, let me know! I will be more than happy to fill you in on all its awesomeness!
To start off this week, I will just share how much I adore the new Disney Tumblers that came out this month! They are SO stinkin cute! They are called Peek-A-Boo Tumblers!

Don't you just love them, too?! And, of course, they are on sale! You can view them through my page, which can be found through the tab at the top, or you can get the direct link here
Next week, I will be sharing one of my absolute favorite products!! :D
I hope to see you then! Please feel free to share your thoughts~

I am also linking up today with the Hip Homeschool Hop!

Happy Veteran's Day!

I skipped Menu plan Monday last week. I skipped a lot last week. I was not feeling well most of the week and had a few things I wanted to get done before we are visting with family for Thanksgiving. I don't think I was on the computer for more than an hour at all the entire week. It was great. I am usually on editing, posting, making lesson plans, etc. during every nap time and every night after bedtime. Not last week! I will try to make up for it this week as we prepare for our out of town visit!
I have my menu all ready for the week:
Monday: I made a casserole in the crock pot over night for breakfast this morning!
                For dinner we are having Taco Soup
Tuesday: Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Wednesday:  Shepherd's Pie
Thursday:  Gumbo
Friday:  Salami, Spinach, & Provolone Pizza

Most of the recipes this week are new, so I am looking forward to trying them all! :)
Don't forget to head over to I'm an Organizing Junkie for more menu ideas!
And for the weekend, who knows what we will be eating. We are leaving early (EARLY) Saturday morning to begin our journey!

The rest of this week will include packing, a little tidying up, editing and emails, school, and hopefully time to make some cupcakes! :)

See you soon!

Sandy, Halloween, and getting organized!

What a crazy week it was last week! It began with Hurricane Sandy on Monday! We had to drop Austin off at the station to bring the boats up to Massachusetts, so we were on our own as the winds picked up! Luckily, that is about the most of what we got here. It did not rain as much as I expected, so we didn't have any flooding in our area. We did lose power around 4:00 on Monday, but it was quickly returned around the same time on Tuesday! We were very blessed to not have any major damage. Down in Narragansett, however, the people were not so lucky. After dropping Austin off Sunday, the boys and I went down to Narragansett Beach to take some pictures of the waves. We went back Wednesday after the storm and we were not allowed into the parking lot! It was completely covered in rocks and sand! Not little tiny gravelly rocks, either! Big ones. That used to be down by the water. A restaurant we ate at last year when my mom visited was damaged really bad. The waves were crashing over the second story!

Once the winds started picking up at the house, little branches started showing up in the lawn. Jacob and Kyle decided we should go outside for a bit and check things out!

 

Wednesday afternoon, after everything was over, we took a drive back down to Narragansett beach. It was a completely different place than it was just three days before!

This is the parking lot where I took pictures from on Sunday!

It was so heartbreaking seeing all the damage, and kowing that we didn't even suffer the worst of it!

Getting ready to go outside and add fake blood! He couldn't even keep a straight zombie face! :)

All ready to go!



Kyle got to ride in style!

I was very surprised that our neighborhood was still going to celebrate Halloween. I heard on the radio many other towns were postponing for a few weeks. Jacob was very excited to get to trick-or-treat. Kyle had no clue what was going on, but once he figured out he could get candy, there was no stopping him! Our neighborhood has the best candy, too! :)




Finally...I actually got to complete my Organization Challenge this week! After losing power for over a week last year with Hurricane Irene, I wasn't taking any chances this year! Jake and I tackled his closet and got it done just about an hour or so before the power went out! This week's challenge was to Organize Closet Space For Your Kids. I feel like we are always going through Jake's closet to try and make it better or more organized. Hopefully this time, it will work a little better! Here are our before and afters:

Much better!!

That's all I have for today! I will be back tomorrow witha nother menu for Menu Plan Monday!!
See you then!
