Great weekend!  My husband was off so we enjoyed some much needed family time which involved garage cleaning and picnics.  It’s getting closer and closer to time to start school again.  We are treasuring these days without school.

Today we officially close on the house we’ve been wanting to sell after getting renters out of it.  I will never rent another house again!  What a pain that was!  Huge thanks to Laura Flanders Real Estate for helping us get it sold!  I will breathe easier once those final documents are signed.

Monday: Steak, veggies

Tuesday: Kielbasa, brussel sprouts, brown rice

Wednesday: Hamburgers, okra

Thursday: Make your own dinner

Friday: Lazy Day Enchiladas

Saturday: Grilled Chicken, Loaded Hasselback Zucchini 

Sunday: Caprese Chicken Sandwiches, Salad

What are you making this week?

Happy Monday yall!  Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  My youngest is getting even more teeth and he looks so silly sometimes!  Thought you all would enjoy the photo!

I can’t believe that school is about to start again!  I spent most of the weekend working on my homeschool plans for next year.  Schedules made, checklists made, community classes scheduled, extracurricular plans made, it’s a lot to balance.  I think I’m there now, though.   Now on to planning food for the week!

Monday: Lazy Lasagna – from page 140 in the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, salad

Tuesday: Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas, salad

Wednesday: Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner!

Friday: Black bean burritos

What a weekend.  I didn’t sleep well at all, but I was thankful to have my husband home.  On Friday, we took our middle child to the American Girl store to pick out her very first AG doll!  It was so much fun and we enjoyed the family time! Her birthday is Tuesday.  Can’t believe she will be 7!  This week is another crazy busy summer week filled with adventures.  Keeping dinner fairly simple this week and going to try to get back on the Trim Healthy Mama bandwagon.

Monday: Southwest Chicken in the Crock Pot

Tuesday: Chick-Fil-A for Cow Apprecation Day!

Hope you have a great week!

What are you making for dinner this week?

Whew!  What a busy weekend!  I need a weekend from the weekend!  We went to my nephew’s birthday party, a party for one of my friend’s girls being dedicated at their church, and a pool party!  Summer is  non-stop around here.  The baby enjoyed getting his very first taste of watermelon at one of the parties.  Yummy!

Throughout all the fun we had this weekend, we remember to pray for and with those that lost loved ones in Orlando yesterday.  What a horrible tragedy.  We have a friend near Orlando that could have been there last night.  Fortunately, he wasn’t, but several of his friends were and they were killed.  Please be in prayer for the hurting families and that people will turn to Him during this time.

With a new week ahead of us, I have been working on my meal plan to use up what is in the fridge.  Couple repeats from last week as we didn’t get to make everything!  Here’s what I plan to make this week:

Tuesday: Taco salad

Wednesday: Hamburgers, asparagus

Thursday: Spaghetti

Friday: Grilled ham and cheese, chips

Saturday: Dinner at a birthday party

Sunday: Fix your own dinner

 

 

It’s Meal Plan Monday again!  We had a mediocre weekend and ended up at Regional First Care yesterday morning.  The baby had a fever all night and wouldn’t nurse.  Ended up having an ear infection in one ear and fluid on the other ear.  He’s already feeling so much better!  After not sleeping Saturday night, he was still in the best mood.  I was joking that he kept us up just so he could flirt with the nurses at First Care.  Silly boy!  Also interesting that our nurse at First Care had on the exact same shirt that I had on!  Cops for the Cure!

Here’s our meal plan this week.  2 days we are going camping and the rest we plan to just enjoy the summer!

Monday: Burgers, macaroni and cheese, watermelon
