Its finally here! Its been a long week and I am so ready for the weekend. I am going to my nephew's baseball game tonight and chase my 18 month old daughter around the whole time. Saturday night I am having a mother/daughter outing with my mom. We are going to a fundraiser at my brothers church. They are having a dinner theater and my sister-in-law is participating in the play. I'm sure it will be great!!
Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?? Let me know!
As summer approaches, you'll be using your grill a lot more. Here are some helpful tips to make your grilling a success.
--Always start with a clean grill. Its a lot easier to clean your grill after each use that way its ready the next time you need it.
--Keep your grill lubricated. Preheat the great; coat a fold paper towel with oil and hold it with tongs, rub the paper towel across the grill to coat.

In the past, I have had a had time keeping bills together, making sure everything was paid, never having my address labels with my bills etc. I recently made me a bill binder. It includes a list of my month bills for each month with extra spaces to write in unexpected bills (dentist, doctor etc), extra envelopes, address labels, payment books, and a holder for my bills I receive in the mail. I made my list of monthly bills on the computer in a chart with spaces to include the due date, amount due and then a space to mark paid. I recycled an old 3 ring binder from work that was going to get throw away. Below is a picture. It has been the handiest thing for me. As soon as I get a bill in the mail, I insert the due date and the amount due and put the bill in the bill holder. Below is a picture.
