Days 9 & 10–the weekend
January 9, 2010 by Stephanie
9 & 10
Alright! It’s the weekend! Time for some family togetherness. In our family we usually plan our upcoming meals on the weekend, and go over the calendar to make sure we’re all on the same page.
If you haven’t meal-planned before, it’s a fantastic way to:
1) save money
2) get the kids to eat different food
3) promote “the family is a team” mentality

This Weekend:
continue on with the Daily 7. It’s tempting to take the weekend off, I know. I really, really know. But you will thank me if you stick with it. Don’t be an ogre—just be consistent. :-0
take down the last of the holiday decorations. for reals.
if you haven’t done so already, jot down a few goals for the family for 2010
yesterday: weekly reflection
monday:
So simple and to the point Stephanie. Thank you!
I too am a huge meal planning fan and have talked about on my blog a bunch these last few months, but even more since the turn of the new year as I try to encourage others to simplify their lives.
I promise to get my Christmas tree down today. Promise!
You know what I need? Laundry guidance! Got any of that coming up soon? Oh, and encouraging your husband in a nice non-nagging way to please pickup after himself.
Enjoy that new baby!
Thanks for the link love girl! Menu planning has been such a lifesaver for me which is why I’m so passionate about it. It’s changed my life!
