I did, however, go out and get this handy dandy planner and I am loving it!
It is actually two separate magnetic planners I purchased from Target.
The top is a day by day breakdown of each person's schedule. It is nice because I can keep up on Brandon's shift changes and Brandon will stop asking me a million times what we have planned for the weekend.
This is a great meal planner for me, because as things arise or my mood changes I can switch around what we are having each day. Sometimes I am just not feeling it, you know?!
I have decided that I need to attempt to start planning our lunches because we are seriously lacking variety around here when it comes to our lunches. The kids would be content to have a sandwich everyday! I am not.
Here is what is on the menu this week:
Monday:
Lunch: leftover pasta salad with sliced turkey pepperoni
Dinner: hot dog crescent rolls with cheese and potato salad
Tuesday:
Lunch: turkey and cheese sandwich with sliced fruit
Dinner: @ Mom's
Wednesday:
Lunch: Mac & Cheese with grapes and peas and carrots
Dinner: Rosemary Dijon breaded porkchops with a green salad
Thursday:
Lunch: Scrambled eggs and toast
Dinner: Meatloaf,potatoes and green beans
Friday:
Lunch: Mini pizzas
Dinner: Tuna melts and a veggie?
Saturday:
Lunch: grilled ham and cheese
Dinner: Hamburgers and fries
Sunday:
Lunch: I don't know!
Dinner: BBQ
I would love some easy go to lunch suggestions.
This is a good start... good luck with the rest of the execution. We are actually starting to move some stuff out of my house into the "marital home". I am excited but at the same time I am still living where I am for another 3 months... it will be fun.
ReplyDeleteGood job! =) I wish I could be more planned out when it comes to daily life. I know I feel SO much better and productive when I have some form of plan in place. =) Thanks for your kind words on my blog. =)
ReplyDeleteFINALLY, I was like, why don't I ever see Ashley's updates?? Cause I never pushed follow! Jeez!
ReplyDeleteI am the WORST at meal planning. I have tried, and I had some success with pinning meals, but life and schedules get too hectic and I just can't stick to it. I like your idea of erasable calendars though, to move things around.
Lunch is always hard for me...we try to do leftovers but lots of times we don't have any. I am loving those magnetic planners!
ReplyDeleteYou are one organized woman, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you, the Mr, Kendra and Jaxson have a lot of great meals to look forward to. I save some of your posts to my favorites bc you always have such awesome tips. Thanks for sharing!
Hope you're having a good day!

I like this for ideas for some new dinners at my house!
ReplyDeleteMenu planning seriously saves my life, my check book, and my sanity!
ReplyDeleteThat magnetic calendar is cool! I love how it breaks it down to lunch and dinner.
