It’s Mother’s Day week – whoo-hoo! I love getting to spend some extra quality time with my family, and they always make sure that happens. How do you plan to spend the weekend? I just *might* be looking forward to next weekend so much because the days in between promise to be extra crazy. We… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – May 1, 2016

Menu Plan Monday – March 21, 2016
Last week was absolutely crazy – but I’m determined to slow this Holy Week down a bit. We have a few really crazy, busy days, but those are bookended by slower days, and we’re going to take full advantage of our down time. While it’s chilly here today, we didn’t get the forecasted snow… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – March 21, 2016

Aaannnnddd … it’s birthday time! My Big Helper will turn eleven on Friday – where does the time go? – and so there’s going to be lots of celebrating happening this week.

We’re back in business with a crazy week coming up. We’ve got an overnight book club event, an evening church gathering, and an out-of-town field trip, so meals are going to be simple. On the bright side, though, I’m ready for that. I picked up our Zaycon order last week, and in less than three… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – March 5, 2016

Last week’s slow week? It’s long gone. We’re back in business week with lots going on, so our meal plan is going to reflect that.

We’re having an exciting week around here. Weeknight events, back-to-back out-of-town field trips, and changing weather means I’m not sure what’s going to happen with the meal plan this week. I’ve got a plan, and I’m going to try hard to work it, but … we’ll be flexible if we need to. What do… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – February 15, 2016

This weekend we explored a downtown area of a nearby city for my husband’s birthday. He loves old buildings, and the kids and I love playing with our cameras! Last week I was super excited about trying new recipes. I cooked extra meals all week, trying to restock our freezer with emergency meals. I shopped… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – February 1, 2016
Menu Plan Monday – January 25, 2016
It’s been a long time since I was excited about menu planning. I think I was stuck in a rut. I kept making the same meals over and over again, feeling pressured by time and the crush of other activities, and cooking no longer felt fun. I’ve been fasting for the past few weeks, though,… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – January 25, 2016

June has arrived, and while the calendar says summer hasn’t arrived yet, it sure feels like summer! We’re taki-grng a much-needed break from school this week, as well as finishing up the baseball season and working in our garden. It’s great to be outside! Simple, healthy meals are still the main plan. Baseball will crunch… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – June 1, 2015
