Subtle Hints/Meal Plans & Budgeting

One week and one day ago we went to see Drew's Grandmother. Before leaving my sweet husband suggested I bring cook books and make a menu as we drove. He said something to the affect of: remember when you used to have a menu plan and went shopping once a week.

Bring the cook books I did, I also ended up driving part of the way so only worked some on the menu. It was a good time to get the kids input, what they like, don't, etc. I just finished the menu plan tonight (something like Jan 6, when I started typing this post).  I am excited at the prospect of simplifying life by having a plan!  I have been flying by the seat of my pants since August and man has it had a negative effect on our budget.

(finishing the post tonight, Jan 18)
I have saved everything on google drive so if you want the link to my recipes and shopping lists leave a comment with your email and I will "share" them with you. Or mail me at borntwicedotregenerateatgmaildotcom.
