a plan...

I was at my sister-in-laws last week and I was drooling over the fact that she plans her meals a week in advance. I know... seems like common sense, I should have been doing this a long time ago. She got this {fancy} calendar thing from target that she writes her meals out on for the week. I decided to give it a try. I haven't made it to target to get a fancy board for my fridge, but I did write out on a paper what we were having for dinner for the week & it's working!! {well, it's only been 2 days... and they've gone as planned!}

I also wrote out lunch options for Mike to take to work and for me to have at home. This is helping us save money & not go out to eat when we haven't planned what's for dinner or lunch!! Mike was so cute & encouraging- he told me he was looking forward to "taco night" on friday. That's his fav! :) Good thing I know what my man likes!

I also stopped by my friend Carrie's blog today and she had an amazing post on how she is meal planning for the week and setting just a few "to-do's" a day so that she won't be bogged down for an entire day trying to get everything done! Check her blog out- it's a good one! I think I might try that too- so I won't always feel like I have so many things to do everyday! :)
