Basically Brooks

I've always wanted to be a really organized person, and I believe I'm on my way to becoming one.  A few weeks ago, I made a Home Management Binder so we can have all of our important information on hand and keep our home and finances in order.  After much research on the internet and Pinterest, and asking a sweet co-worker a million questions, I finally was ready to put it together.  I will show you what mine looks like as well as provide the links to the free printables I found online. This is what my binder cover looks like.  I loved the chocolate, lime, and blue colors! http://www.newbeehomeschooler.com/Home%20Management%20Binder/Home%20Management%20Binder%20cover.pdf  This page is great because it has basic information about everyone in the family.  Great for babysitters! http://www.newbeehomeschooler.com/apps/blog/show/prev?from_id=19227356  Another page with contact info for doctors, etc. 31 Day Meal Planner with Grocery List off to the side. htt

MYOBF = Make Your Own Baby Food! Something I always wanted to do is make baby food for my babies and I didn't get to do it with Ava, but was determined to at least try to do it for Anniston.  Why?  Three reasons!  1)  I love to cook, 2) it is cheaper, 3) it's healthier....you know EXACTLY what's going into their food, and I find comfort in that! Yesterday I had to pick up a couple of things at Kroger and I decided that it was the time to try this out!  I picked up acorn squash, 2 of them to be exact.  I had read online that summer squash isn't good to use, but winter squash, such as acorn or butternut were fantastic squash choices!  I had never cooked an acorn squash so I was a little nervous at first, but once I got started, it was SO unbelievably easy!  Kyle and I even tried it and it tasted delicious!  I've made a pictorial how to make baby food to share with you!  I can't wait to try more!  Step 1:  Select your acorn squash and wash them off.  St
