Hi friends! I am sending out this blog in hopes to inspire you for the upcoming week! I know grocery shopping is not at its best on Sundays, but for our family, it is the only way to start my week feeling organized and ahead of the game.

Try to sit down today and plan out your menu. Get a small spiral bound notebook, and write out breakfast, lunch and dinner for all five days. (I give myself the weekends off!) Keep the “Menu Planner Notebook” in your kitchen drawer closest to the fridge. Menu planning is a great way to make sure you're eating a balanced diet and meeting your nutritional needs. And, as every frugal cook knows, it can save you time and money!

So start a new trend today - A WEEKLY MENU PLAN! You will save time, energy and money and eat healthier! Make a goal to plan out your menu for the month of October, and just see how much better and organized you feel!

Let me know how the planning goes!

Here are great websites to help with menu planning:
