Also- I’ve never used the Quiken that Kristy suggested, but I know many people that have and really liked. Definitely something to check into as well!

Congrats on the emergency fund! I plan to have mine done by Monday!!!

Not only that, there are tons of other forms included with the software that have also come in handy, such as instructions for sitters, a nice form showing all of our accoutns and investments and lots of helpful info in case we would become incapacited and needed someone to step in to handle our affairs, temporary guardianship forms (which came in handy when we went on vacation and left the kiddos with my parents for a week), etc.

Just my 2 cents…. But, I was very pleased with the simplicity of the program! And, it was much cheaper than an attorney and just as legal!

Kristy’s last blog post..How I saved $15,000 today

I have a lot of recipes that called for cubed cooked chicken, so whenever I need that, I’ll cook a ton of it and freeze what I don’t need that day. Similarly, I never make a small batch of spaghetti sauce – just make a large one and freeze the leftovers.

Also, there are also several recipes that I double whenever making them, like lasagna and enchiladas. Both freeze well, and it doesn’t take much longer to make two than one.

This way, I add to my freezer inventory without needing to plan a whole day of cooking.

The ground meat can be used in Ziti, baked spaghetti or Nachos, tacos, enchilladas, etc.

Meatloaf is also great for the freezer meal (frozen pre-cooked or frozen raw).

Finally, stuffed bread. Homemade bread with meat cooked inside. For instance Italian meatballs with mozarella or ham and cheese. Just cook freeze.

I hope that you find some meals that will work for you and the hubby. Freezer meals are one of the things that was most helpful after the birth of my children. I hope that your church or friends will bring meals and help with housekeeping during the first few weeks.

I have a bunch of course packs and books that I need to deal with. I don’t want to toss the course packs because well, they were expensive…and maybe someday I’ll want to look at them again? Not too likely though.

As far as books go, I’m going to list some on PaperBackSwap and maybe Amazon.

Good luck with your books & dvds!

Of course, I would give my left arm to go see Wicked, so I’m slightly biased and insanely jealous. By the time it finally comes to Nashville in 2009 we will have had to move somewhere else.
