I never did until I was home with my kids. I was all over the place planning ANYTHING
when I was working.
BIG PROPS to all you
working outside the home mamas!!! I say
outside the home, because I know from experience commute time takes a CHUNK out
of your life!! Here in the suburbs of DC, traffic is hectic to say the least! I
don’t miss that AT ALL. At least if you
are working at home you might have a bit of extra time to throw something in
the crock pot or throw some marinade over chicken and stick it in the fridge quickly.
I thought I'd share our menu plan for June. We go with SIMPLE around here! I find just doing a simple, relatively quick
plan helps us to 1) save money because we aren’t going to the grocery every few
days for randomness and 2) ensures a bit of variety. I can say that with GREAT confidence because
I haven’t been good about planning a menu since March and in the time between
then and now our grocery bill was a bit higher AND we ate a lot of not only
boring but also…shall we say “interesting” combinations.
Just click on this link to access.
You will notice links to a few of the recipes and if you see
anything else you’d like to know more about just email me.

A special shout out goes to Feeding My Temple & Eat Yourself Skinny for
having fantastic blogs that helped me plan this month’s meals!!!
Oh and and FYI,,,you will also see tabs on the google doc for my ATTEMPT at a schedule! I am FAILING at this though. I will say i'm just NOT consistent and it's it's pretty much driving me nuts!
Anyone wanna do a guest post on sticking to a schedule SUCCESSFULLY???? Seriously, email me. I'd LOVE to have you!

I really need to start doing a menu plan...and I want to start couponing again. I was pretty good at it for a while, but its a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a menu plan and stick with it, but something about the whole idea makes my body break out in hives! No seriously....I'll plan it and it never gets done the way I want. But, I definitely need to revisit this as I know it would save us money! Thanks for the inspiration!! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI just want to know what this "FL- vaca" business is all about, and whether or not your suitcase can hold an average-sized person...
ReplyDeleteI use pinterest to meal plan. I'll tell you all about it sometime!
ReplyDeletei so wish i could plan meals better!!! it ends up being way more stressful everyday than it should be..
ReplyDeleteYou have a whole month plan---that's amazing! I can barely think about today's menu:) I usually buy whatever hits my fancy that week and then base meals around it---no organization here lately! It comes and goes!
ReplyDeleteI used to work full time outside the home and meal planning just couldn't happen. so glad I have more time at home now!
ReplyDeleteAs for a schedule I used to have one and loved it. I just created a blogging planner/schedule for promoting my blog and it cut my time almost in half today because I started my list with a goal in mind. :) Do I have a menu now? nope! lol
You are just outside of DC?!
ReplyDeleteI used to live like 45 minutes away near Annapolis. Love it there!!!
Hello! Stopping by from Activity Corner – love your post! I'm a full time working mom and have a really hard time keeping to any sort of menu planning schedule... props to anyone (working outside the home or not) who can! LOL! I hope you’ll come visit me at jugglingactmama.blogspot.com. Have a great day!
