Menu for the Week of March 28 - April 4

After about a year, I am finally returning to Meal Plan Monday. Things are finally settling down enough!

I plan Saturday to Saturday because we are a one car family and go grocery shopping Saturday morning. The baking list at the bottom of the menu contains a few items in each area that I make sure I have the stuff on hand for. That way if I need to make bread I know I have everything for it, but I don't make every item every week (much to my oldest daughter's disappointment who would love it if I made all the cookies!)!

For some reason I just do not want to go to the grocery store this week.

Menu Plan Monday October 6-13

We are Canadians living in the US so we like to celebrate both Thanksgivings. With the cold bug in our house again we are planning on celebrating on Wednesday - two days late, but not bad.

We are also just back from vacation, and HONESTLY! We got home Monday, had BSF Tuesday morning and long naps Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday I had to can the pears I bought before we went on vacation that did not ripe - 6 lbs into pear butter, 22 pears into canned pears, and Thursday Miss Pear woke up sick, which took care of Thursday and Friday. Sunday Mr Pear woke up sick and I woke up tired, again. So the menu plan is to take it very easy on myself and make life easy!

I am also making a concerted effort to keep Saturdays light too. Nice family day is the goal!

Menu Plan Monday - week of July 30

This week will be our first "normal" week in our new home! I am so excited. No company, no work being done, no business trips, no moving chaos to deal with!

This is also the first week I really get to check our new cleaning schedule and routine. I am hoping that my new cleaning schedule is going to work for me. So far so good, Miss Pear and I completed downstairs day (vacuum, mop, dust, straighten), and are almost done the laundry for the day. I am so happy that we have room in the back yard for me to put my drying racks out so I don't have to use the drier as much! (I do the work, Miss Pear watches and asks what I am doing, so I tell her and explain why. When I am dusting I give her one of her own, and we dust together).
