Yay, this week I’m making an actual meal plan! The past two weeks have been a blur of fun and hard work as we fed the YC ladies soccer team, had them help us paint, sent Matt off for three practices each day with the team – all while trying to keeping up with regular daily work and school.
I’m tired.
But, we are now able to settle back down into a routine, and as long as I continue with my morning quiet time, all will be well. I’m also really focusing on asking my boys to help more. Sometimes I find myself in a rut of feeling that it will be easier if I just do a job myself instead of calling a boy to help out. Why do I do that? Silliness.
The end of last week, a couple of us headed to Lincoln for appointments. While we were there, we got to go to Trader Joes. See the bread?? And the hamburger buns? While I usually make those myself, picking some up at Trader Joes will help me put together some easier meals since this week is very full. (Let’s see, quiet time with God or kneading bread this week? I’m picking God time. Thank you Trader Joes.)

Thank you for the printable of Gal 6-9, I printed it and am going to frame it like you did.
Thank you for sharing your menus and recipes! We just started our homeschool last week and I am just out of gas when it comes to planning our meals for the week! I just printed it out and will go with it. I know your recipes are cost-effective and natural!
