Menu Plan- October 10

The menu this week is lacking a little bit. We've been out of town and I just haven't gotten it together. I know we're having lemon and rosemary chicken stew. And that's about it. I don't even think we have any lunch foods at home! So, we'll see what I'm able to throw together this week.

What I'm Doing

Since school started back in September my computer time has been greatly reduced. My organizing kick I was on is now almost non-exisistant. And I just can't seem to get all the laundry put away. We're on our way to a family reunion this weekend in Waycross, Ga so nothing will get done at home. But that's okay. If we can keep the toys out of the living room, then, that's a success in my book! Not sure if I'll get a menu done for this week or not. We'll see. If I do I'll be back Sunday to post it.

7 Minute Sprint

This past weekend when I was at the dotMom conference I attended a breakout session on family management.  One of the little jewels I took from it was the "7 Minute Sprint".  Here's what it is.  Every night you set a timer for 7 minutes and you race around the house picking up stuff.  We have been doing our 7 minute sprint every night since Saturday.  So, far it's working!  The living room is staying picked up and so is the playroom.  And guess what?  You can get a lot done in 7 minutes. 

Meal Plan- Sept. 26

So, I'm back with a meal plan.  Sometime I need to get the blog caught up on how this life of trying to get organized is going.  The first two weeks of school have been crazy, so there's been no time for anything.  The house has taken a backseat, but I have been able to get lunches made the night before and I'm doing really good with "Maximizing my Mornings".  I've been up at 5am everyday since school started.  I am starting to love these quiet mornings. Soccer has started for my 3yo, so I guess I'm officially a soccer mom (even though I haven't been to a practice or a game yet).  I had a great time the last two days at the dotMom conference.  It was a time of refreshing and being in the company of only grown-ups! On to the meal plan.  Here's what we're eating this week.

Monday- Salmon with Lime Butter (in the crockpot!)
Tuesday- Spaghetti
Wednesday- Hamburgers and Hot Dogs at church
Thursday- Chicken Stew with Rosemary and Lemon (I don't remember where I got the recipe from, but if I do remember I'll post the link)
Friday- Dinner out or leftovers
Saturday- I'll be gone for a girls night out, so it'll probably be frozen pizza for everyone else. 

Where Am I?

School started back. It's been a crazy 2 weeks. Now I'm at a conference for moms. Be back Sunday with our meal plan for the week!

Menu Plan- Sept. 12

It's a new week and time for a new menu.  I have discovered a great meal planning website.  It is My Recipes.  This site has it all; recipes, menu's, shopping lists, and a recipe box where you can file it all away.  It is fantastic.  Here's the link: My Recipes.  Go check it out.  And here's what we're eating this week.  Both of the recipes I'm posting links to this week are from My Recipes. 

Monday- Easy Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Tuesday- Teriyaki Pork and Vegetables with Noodles
Wednesday- Dinner at church (I think it said in our church bulletin that it was spaghetti this week)
Thursday- Leftovers
Friday- Backyard cookout with hot dogs and smore's and I may do a pot of chili too.
Saturday- Not sure yet!
