Between enjoying summer with the kids, prepping a child for his first day of school, gardening, completing custom handmade orders, working on a yarn review for yarncanada.ca and working on writing patterns that I have now been working on for longer than I would like to admit . . . meal planning had become an issue!!
With three Littles I have discovered that if I don't meal plan we wind up ordering take-out or eating food from a box 😔. So, I decided it was time for a change! So I sat down and put together a menu-planner that seems to work great for us. It has space for lunch and dinner planning (I left out breakfast because we usually eat the same items - cereal or oatmeal with orange juice and coffee for mommy of course!) It also has a spot for a grocery list - it's possible to cut off the grocery list but I find myself just taking a photo of it and then shopping with my smartphone (such a "Millennial" thing to do!)
Since I have been finding it so useful this summer, and plan to continue using it throughout the school year, I thought I would share it!!
It's not a pattern, but it definitely makes finding time to create, write and test patterns a lot easier!! And it fits so nicely into this beautiful "farm life" that our family is creating.
Here is the Menu & Grocery Planner:
