Girl's trip - Ok, so I have a question for you ladies coming to girls weekend, and BTW- this is the list of people who have "RSVP'd":
Amy
Jill
Karie
Rachel J
Katie W
Shelly
Me
Would you ladies be interested in staying at my Dad's house instead of a hotel room? I never considered this as an option b/c I didn't want to make anyone cater to us or leave their home or anything, but my Dad volunteered and is not even going to be there that weekend.
His home is new, 3200 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. It has a game room, theater and hot tub. Its also in Sugar house- so its really close to downtown. We would have one king size and three queen size beds to go around, plus lots of cumfy couch space as well. There's a large backyard, but alas, no pool. The cost would be $200 for the whole weekend (that's what it costs to pay the maid to come clean the whole place after we leave). Split 7 ways thats $28.50 per person. Again my Dad is NOT GOING TO BE THERE. We can use the kitchen, so that cuts the cost of food and Jill- if you need to bring Zach, you guys could have your own room. He even has a pack and play and exersaucer.
Now, here's the downside- NO pool, and we would really be at the mercy of Amy's van to get us around. That being said, there's the flexibility of having the place for the whole four nights- Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for those that are coming in early, or leaving later. Does that make sense?
Please email me if you have any questions. Other than that, post here either YAY or NAY..... the sooner the better so we can start finalizing stuff.
THANK YOU!
Also, I have a file I've been putting together of lots of easy, fast, tried and true, inexpensive recipes that I could pass along to anyone who might be interested. I too have spent some time lately getting into the whole frugal shopping, coupon clipping thing. I've also been working really hard at my food storage goals, so if you're interested, I have a lot of great info.
ONE MORE THING- Most of you know I order Mary Kay a couple of times/ year. I will be placing that order within the next 10 days. If you are interested (40% discount) let me know asap.
MY EMAIL IS: jennymat@cox.net
Whew! Enough already! ;0)

sounds good to me. i have finally decided i am not bringing my little zach, it feels freeing even though i know i will miss him tons.
I would love some new recipes! I just made one of your crock pot recipes a few weeks ago and it was great. Thanks!
I am always down for new recipes! :)
And that is so nice of your dad to offer. I think that would be so fun and I love that we could have more money to spend on other stuff and time flexibility. I am all for staying at your dad's place.
I just wanted to share this recipe because it is soo easy and yummy. Someone brought it to us and it has become one of our favorites.
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
4 oz cream cheese
1 packet of dry italian dressing
about 1 lb of chicken
throw it all in a crock pot on high, I usually cut up the chicken about an hour before we are going to eat. then serve over rice.
I forgot to say it takes about 4-5 hours to get the chicken so it just falls apart and is so good.
That is wonderful. I will have a van/truck or something too for transportation. I am all for staying at your dad's. I have recipe's and am going to try and update my blog and post on this one tonight or tomorrow. It has been an insane couple weeks.
I am so excited to come! I love that we're staying at your dad's. This is going to be great.
Easiest chicken tacos ever:
3-5 chicken breasts
1 jar of salsa
put in crockpot, and cook 3-4 hours on high. When done, add a half cup of sour cream. Mix together and through on tortillas. Add whatever you put on tacos, and love it.
