August 16th – 22nd

Favorite meals from last week include, Mexican Hamburgers, Apricot Pork Ribs and Honey Nut Chicken.   I made all the meals planned, except for the One Dish Nacho Bake as I wasn’t home that evening and I forgot to prepare the meal the night before.  Overall, I am doing pretty good with sticking to the menu and my budget.

I am working on getting back into the school routine.  My meals are planned and the house cleaning and laundry are getting done each week.  I am still not doing very well with my bedtime routine at all.  That is my goal for this week, to complete my bedtime routine each night. 

In our state, school starts the day after Labor Day so I have a bit of time yet to get back into routine.
