Happy Monday… I hope all my readers that were affected by Hurricane Irene are Safe and Sound and made it through the weekend. You guys had been in my constant prayers and I hope everyone is doing fine today.
We had a busy weekend down here in Florida, with the kids back in school also starts Soccer and Sport season. We had to prepare and get all the gear for the kids and my kids are the type that everything has to wait till 5 minutes before the store closes.
That’s the truth, my Teen told me he needed items for school Sunday evening at 7PM. Not like he had ALL weekend time to tell me, or maybe even last week?
Are your kids the same way? I try so hard to make them get things done early, but I’m just a Mom… why should they listen to me. What do I know… yadayadayada…. lol.
My Toddler had a wonderful first week of Pre-K and she is excited to go back…. guess she hasn’t figured out that she is now stuck for the next 16 years in the same routine :0).
Last week for some reason our Meal Plan went right out the window, I don’t think we made one meal :0(. I worked late every night and then we had some other appointments and mishaps, but that’s life. On top of all that my pup got very sick and I took every free minute to get him back to normal…. Lot’s of medications and Dr. visits later.. he’s on the way to recovery; Let’s try again this week and let’s hope we will stick to our plan. At least we have good intentions, right?…..
Oh… I almost forgot. Next Monday is the start of our Birthday Bash. I’m super excited. We have 12 Giveaways go live on Monday. Very cool stuff even a Cash Prize and the best part, I’m part of a group of bloggers we each give away the same prize and you can enter on each blog to win it!!!

Yum, that all sounds really good. I admire how you actually set a meal plan. My husband has asked me to but I never have. I think I might just use the picture as what we will be eating all week 🙂 They look too good.

So awesome of you to make meal plans and stick to them! My meal plans usually turn out to be whatever I remember to defrost, some easy can/reheatable meal, or leftovers. You’ve inspired me to try to start a family meal-plan.
Also I love that you give yourself a night off! We moms work hard and deserve it.
