It has been a very busy week here! I de-cluttered the boy's toys (we got rid of just over half of them!) as part of the clutter challenge. We tried a new lasagne recipe (and it was delicious). We did find another property/land that we love, but it is a bit more than what we wanted to spend so we are still deciding what we will do. Do we spend a little more on a beautiful piece of property or keep looking!? I am pretty debt-adverse so part of me wants to keep looking. That said, this piece of property seems amazing right now, and although it is higher than we wanted to spend, we own our home, cars, and are pretty close to paying off our student loans (finally) so this would really be the only debt we would be carrying. Choices, choices. We are still in the information stage either way so maybe it will be knocked out before we can even try.
At least Pinterest can help keep me sane, LOL! It might be years before we can build a house (and if we decide on this piece of property then we are looking at 5-6 instead of 2-3), but I can pin away in the meantime. Heck, by the time we can build I should be able draw the house plans myself…. Hmm, not such a good idea!

I really want to try solar cooking. I mean, what could be more useful in Arizona than the sun! Taylor Made Ranch made boneless breaded pork chops in a solar oven. I had no idea that you could cook pork chops in a solar oven – how cool is that! Stop by her blog to learn how it is done 🙂
