I have done some of the baby steps already but not all and not consistantly. In my Flying group on Facebook, the admins are walking us through them again as a refresher. Click here for more information. I decided since the first step is to shine your sink, I got out of bed and went to shine mine, even though the kitchen is a wreck and I have party stuff to put away. Well when I got there, this is what I saw.
I had already shined it before I left for the party! I must be doing something right already!
The habit of the month for September is going to be the before bed routine, which is something I rarely do, since I dont have anywhere to go first thing in the morning, I dont feel its necessary to lay out clothes etc. This will be great for when school starts in 24 days though! So Im glad. Shining the sink is part of the BBR.
Each day this month I intend to participate in the baby step and keep up with previous steps. I will blog much of it!

Honeycomb Strawberries
This weekend we are having a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party for my niece Sophia.
When I found these I knew immediately I could turn them into strawberries.
I de-strung them from the white ribbon and cut the lacy edges off (leaving the hole-punched top section).
When I found these I knew immediately I could turn them into strawberries.
I de-strung them from the white ribbon and cut the lacy edges off (leaving the hole-punched top section).
We had extra stems from another Strawberry project and they seemed to work well at the top. I cut a little slit in the middle and slid the hole punched section through.
we opted to string them individually so we had more flexibility on where to hang them rather than a garland as they came. Planning this party we are realizing how easily a heart turns into a strawberry!
cost: 3.75 for a string of 7 hearts
we got 2 strings
These will look great hanging all over the back yard at the Strawberry Shortcake Party.
Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Banner
I made this for the up-coming Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party for my sweet niece Sophia. I love how the light and dark pinks work so well with the lime green and white stripes, (like Strawberry Shortcake's pants/hat ribbon. Also love how the polka dots sort of look like seeds on triangle shaped strawberries.
The letters were cut from scrapbook cardstock using the Plantain Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge on Roly Poly at 3 inches. The strawberry stem is the flower in 4-5 inches (I forget) on the same cartridge folded over the top.
I could have made the pennants but I found them for sale here (and I was ordering other stuff and got free shipping) for less than if I bought paper and cut them myself. I bought 3 different colors, hot pink, candy pink and lime. They came strung on fishing line (3 separate banners) , but I wanted to alternate colors, so we cut them off of the fishing line and hole punched the corners.
all the pennants were strung on green curling ribbon.
Depending on where we hang the banner, I may split the bottom line in to 2, having a strawberry pennant at the beginning and end of "birthday", I have one dark pink triangle left over.
I considered cutting letters for the other side, in case we wanted to hang in the window or from the ceiling above the kitchen island, but we will see how much paper/time I have left over first. Because it isn't over the top specifically Strawberry Shortcake, the banner could be re-used for another party, a baby shower or something, the letters should come off easily, or we could use the back. I ended up using the extra pennant to make a "7th" at the end of "sweet" and hung in the 2 rows shown.
Cost Breakdown
banners: 3x$3,
3 sheets of cardstock from my stash (calling that free)
a glue stick I had (calling this free)
green curling ribbon (included in other craft budget)
26-27 triangle banner, about 15 feet for ~$9
There will definitely be more Strawberry Shortcake posts to come!

$50 to Payday (meal planning)
My nutrition class final exam was to feed myself for 4 days for $50. Everything had to be designed to prepare/eat at home. I had to plan for calories for my body/activity level. I had to include recommended amounts of each food group and fat/protein/carbohydrate ratios.
I was able to feed myself for 7 days for under $40. Each day I
planned for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one snack totaling between 1600-1900
kcalories, keeping fat at 20-35% of total kcalories. I tried to spread each
nutrient evenly throughout the day. I varied the meals from easy to prepare to more complicated, and included options that I could pack in a lunch box for school or work.
I did all my "shopping" at Winco Foods.
I saved money buying store brand, choosing some frozen produce and meat as well as shopping the bulk bins. I was able to get just 1 serving of multiple kinds of cereal rather than an entire box of one kind and get bored with it; the per ounce price was the same in bulk as in bags. I wanted a variety of foods so I wouldn't get sick of anything. Certain foods I don't get tired of and can be prepared many ways, like eggs, chicken and bread, so they appear often throughout the week.

I wanted a variety of foods so I wouldn't get sick of anything. Certain foods I don't get tired of and can be prepared many ways, like eggs, chicken and bread, so they appear often throughout the week.
I chose whole grains and lean meats. I opted for fat free milk
but full fat cheese because it is my preference. The yogurt is natural- no HFCS
or artificial sugars or colors. I could have saved a little money getting a
better value on the yogurt but I forgot to write the price down of the large
tub and had a receipt from some Gogurt I'd purchased recently to reference. I
chose to incorporate foods my family receives on WIC- eggs, peanut butter,
vegetable juice, beans, bread, full fat cheese, cereal, and whole wheat
tortillas, which would lower my budget even further. In the past, I've just
saved the non-perishables for whenever I feel like using it, rarely using a
month's allotment within a month. With a meal plan I can incorporate those
staples to use them up. I only used a few “staples” like sugar, cinnamon,
margarine, barbecue sauce and miracle whip.
I enjoyed this project and I hope to use it as a baseline for family meal planning. I think if I get a few different week plans like this made, I can simply rotate weeks for meal planning. I have learned an easy way to include all the food groups when meal planning and using up all of what I buy before it goes bad.

Food List
Fruit and
Vegetables
Bagged
Spinach: Each half cup has only 3 calories and provides 188% DV of vitamin A,
15% DV iron, and 47% DV vitamin C
Apples are a
great source of fiber and potassium and are fat and sodium free
Avocados are
a great source of potassium, and have been shown to help lower cholesterol,
possibly due to high fiber content.
Peaches are
high in niacin and thiamin.
Frozen
strawberries: A half cup serving of strawberries provides 86% DV of vitamin C
and strawberries contain fisetin, an antioxidant that has been studied in
relation to Alzheimer's disease and to kidney failure resulting from diabetes
Bananas are
very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is also a good source of
dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and manganese, and a very good source of
vitamin B6.
Vegetable
juice is high in vitamin C and Iron and much lower calories than fruit juice.
I chose
mixed frozen vegetables because picked at their ripest and frozen right away
preserves nutrients and frozen vegetables have hardly any sodium compared to
canned which are very high in sodium.
Roma
Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, and
folate.
Salsa is a
great alternative to more processed, higher in sugar and salt condiments like
ketchup and contains very few calories.
Oranges are
high in vitamin C and water content, and eating a whole orange rather than
juice provides fiber.
Carrots are
rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A
Grapefruit
is high in vitamin C and potassium, and are also mostly water.
Broccoli and
cauliflower are cruciferous vegetables which contain phytochemicals that defend
against cancers.
Cucumber is
very low calorie and with skin, a good source of toxin-removing fiber.
Tomato sauce
is high in vitamin C. Tomato sauce combined with meat products help the iron in
both the sauce and the meat absorb.
Grains
Whole wheat
bread is made of whole grain wheat, so it has not been stripped of most of the
fiber and nutrients, is a good source of carbohydrates.
Whole wheat
spaghetti is also a whole grain and high in dietary fiber.
Air-popped
popcorn is low calorie per cup in comparison to other crunchy snacks. Popcorn
is a whole grain.
Cheerios are
fortified to provide 45% DV of Iron and are rich with soluble fiber.
Brown rice
has not had the bran or germ removed, leaving all the natural B vitamins and
Iron.
Whole wheat
tortillas are a great Cholesterol and trans-fat free alternative to white flour
tortillas
Raisin bran
provides 45% DV iron in cup and is high in fiber.
Protein
Pinto beans
are cholesterol free and a good source of protein,
Eggs provide
5% DV of iron, and all essential amino acids.
Tuna
provides 7% DV of iron and 21g of protein in one small can.
Turkey
sausage contains less fat and calories than pork sausage. Sausage is one of my
favorite foods, including a healthier version is easier to do than stop eating
it.
Boneless
skinless chicken is a lean choice and a great source of niacin.
Peanut
butter when 100% peanut or fresh ground at the grocery store, has no
hydrogenated vegetable oils. Peanut butter is a great source of protein,
vitamins B3 and E, magnesium and folate. Folate is especially important for
women in childbearing years to prevent birth defects in babies.
Turkey lunch
meat is lean and a good source of protein without much fat.
Dairy
Milk
provides 30% DV of calcium per cup; I chose fat free milk to lower overall
calories and fat.
Cheese is a
great source of calcium and protein, I chose to use cheese often as a dairy
product because I love it and it adds great flavor to foods.
Yogurt is
fortified with vitamin D and is a great, low fat source of calcium.
