An Old Fashioned Girl in a Modern World
Back again for another round of meal plans! We have been doing SO good sticking to these over the last few weeks!

Man, I am getting wiped out by these last few weeks. They have been some busy ones for us. Between showing the house, daylight savings, fun outside, and activities, we have been on the go! A couple of years ago, when I wasn't meal planning I would have been frazzled beyond belief. It is amazing what … [Read more...]
Last week, in the weekly meal plan, I talked about budgeting and at the same time, eating healthy. It can be done! One of the biggest struggles that I have is snacks.

Our meal plan saved us later in the week as the ice was really bad and there was not really any option to get out to the store. We were all huddled up … [Read more...]
We went slightly off plan last week. Not for many days, really just for two...Friday and Saturday. My parents came over these two days. Have I mentioned that my mom is a wonderful cook? Well, Friday she brought G BBQ Spareribs. Yep, you read that right, my 5 year old son got BBQ Spareribs from his … [Read more...]
Last week was only fairly successful. We definitely missed a day or two secondary to poor planning during the day on my part. I was so concentrated on getting work done while the kids were at school that I missed putting food in the crockpot for porkchop day. All in all though it was good. The … [Read more...]
I did it again and again it felt awesome! Stuck to the meal plan! Last week's meal plan was a good one that everyone enjoyed. Some old, some new, the family was excited about the meals AND they ate them! Here are some of my notes from last week: A note about the spaghetti sauce: Man am I glad … [Read more...]
I have some pretty exciting news to share. Well, exciting for me, not at all for you. I stuck to my meal plan this week...exactly! I was so excited that this happened. It made SUCH a difference in the week. We are finally back into the routine. Finally.... The kids were happier AND excited for … [Read more...]
