January Menu Plan

I am going to attempt some healthier eating - my 2013 resolution. I'm not dieting -- because my goal is not something short term. But, rather, I have a friend who truly believes in the power of food and that we are what we eat. I want to adopt some of those healhty habits - and in the process hope to lose some weight too.

We also are getting an increasingly packed calendar as the boys get older - just this month we are starting weekly evening meet and greet activities with our future Kindergarten teachers, biddy basketball, and the busy Mom's book club. Plus tossing around the idea of starting weekly religious education classes too. So ease of menu planning is getting REALLY important.

Household Plan 12.17.12

Only focusing on what absolutely needs done this week as I'm still trying to get holiday stuff done. Shopping, wrapping, and baking. Plus the kids and I are trying to work on the holiday bucket list. This weekend looks like we're getting some snow so I think we'll spend some time baking, and wrapping then.

Now off to the yard to finish packing away the summer toys before the snow hits andthen the post office to get the cards mailed out.
