1/2 stick butter, melted

New House

So this is our new townhouse. I just love it. It is super roomy and nice...however, yesterday when I was driving to it to show a friend, there was still standing water right in front of our driveway due to the 10+ inches of rain that fell two days ago. I don't even want to imagine what it looked like the day of the rain. I know that Cypress Creek is right down the road from our house and it is currently still over the banks. Maybe this is the reason why we have water in front of our house. But I am so excited to be moving into a house that is almost 2.5x's bigger than our current apartment. Also, William has a yard...a small yard, but it's still a yard. So that's about it for now, but I promise to post some pictures of the inside once we have everything set up. We are getting new living room furniture in a couple of weeks so I will wait until then.

I love this

I just bought this at amazon.com and I can't wait to use it. It's called the smart shopper and you say the items you need at the store and it makes categories based on the items you need and prints out a list. How cool is this and it's under $30. Word to your mother!!! I love organization!

Menu Planning

My friend Denise has been doing this for awhile, so I decided I would too. I always plan my meals throughout the month. I go grocery shopping about 2 times a month and spend about $300 a month on food. I came to realize after years of eating out, that you can save so much more money when you make food at home instead of going out. Don't get me wrong, we still go out about once a week, but Patrick and I both prefer some home-cookin over some greasy, fatty foods at restaurants. This is what I came up with:

-Flank Steak, veggies, and mac/cheese

-Cube Steak (Shout out to Denise for this recipe..using the crockpot)

-Orange Juice Chicken (Crockpot)

-Beef Enchiladas (http://kellyskornerrecipes.blogspot.com/)

-Swiss Stuffed Chicken (http://kellyskornerrecipes.blogspot.com/)

-Cheesy Brat Stew (Crockpot-allrecipes.com)

-Chicken Supreme (http://kellyskornerrecipes.blogspot.com/)

Since it's only me and Patrick, this list is probably going to last at least a week and a half because of leftovers from the night before. I will definitely let ya'll know which ones I love and which ones I don't. I might even take pictures of the final product and upload them on here. I hope everyone has a great week. I can't believe it's almost Easter!!!

Recession Clothing...

So I follow a lot of blogs, but I absolutely love this blog:

http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/

If you haven't read her blog, you sure are missing out. She is so inspirational and just so cute. Two days ago she did a post on recession clothing on a budget and I was tagged to do the same. Kelly dresses so cute and mostly shops only at Walmart, Target, and TJ Max. So here is my spin on recession clothing on a budget...

This is a adorable dress I saw at American Eagle. I would totally wear this during the summer months for sure and it's under 40 dollars. Totally worth it. I shop a lot at American Eagle and they tend to keep up with the ever changing trends. I would probably pair this with some super cute earrings and sandals/flats like these:

The shoes are from Old Navy for under $20 and the earrings are from Drugstore.com for under $30. The good things about purchasing accessories like these are that they can go with many outfits not just one or two. I also like this dress:

I think this dress is at American Eagle also. I would definately wear some sort of undershirt under this because I need a little extra coverage up top if you know what I mean. It has lots of fun colors to play with so you can pretty much dress it up with any accessory. Lastly..the dreaded bathing suit:

I love this bathing suit. I will probably buy it this year. It is from American Eagle and is under $40. The back is cut out and has a pin-up style feel to it.

Well that's all for now. It is raining here in Houston and so dark and gloomy. One of my best friend's turn 21 on Monday and was going to have a crawfish boil at her house on Saturday, but it got cancelled due to the 70% chance of rain for tomorrow. So this weekend looks to be kinda boring. Next week, I'm going to see Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, and maybe Brooks and Dunn at the Rodeo. I am so excited to see Keith Urban...he is super sexy. Until next week....

Wet and Over the Rain,

Amber
