Good morning!
I stayed up too late last night watching talking heads on TV. . . did you, too? Extra coffee needed this morning. Regardless of who you voted for, I’m so grateful that we live in a free country and have the right to vote. I’m also grateful that my landline phone (that we have just for emergencies and for our home alarm system) won’t ring for another year. Although a small part of me can appreciate political volunteers and their passion for the election process – I wish they wouldn’t call during breakfast, or lunch, or nap time, or in the middle of a diaper change, or dinner or . . . well is there ever a good time to call a mom juggling her kiddos at home? Not really.

RECIPES & MEAL PLANNING
Last night we had Chicken Sante Fe in the slow cooker. I was impressed once again at how easy and yummy it was. We wrapped it in tortillas and ate it like burritos.
QFC deals were posted yesterday – I’m planning another trip there this week because the deals are so good. If you have a Kroger or Ralph’s you might want to check your ad, as the deals are often similar.
