Easy and Healthy Menu Plan and Goals

I think it is safe to say that the lingering days of summer are gone and fall has arrived. We spent the early part of last week still seeing 70s and 80s but by the weekend the highs were in the 50s and 60s. Time to bring out the scarves, long sleeve shirts, blankets to snuggle on the couch with, and hot tea to drink!

For some reason this past week has been exhausting. The little guy had a few long nights, Shaun had to work Saturday, and all the regular things that happen on Sundays have me ready for a nap. 🙂 The next craft show is coming up in less than three weeks so I have to make time to start tackling those projects.

The beginning of our menu is going to be all about using up what we have in the fridge as I still need to hit the grocery stores.

      I’ve REALLY been enjoying the book! I still haven’t finished it yet. So many great thoughts and ideas and things to think about. Can’t wait to read more and get more applications. Did the book cause you to make changes?
