Been thinking about you all day.
Acac...Frrrrrriend!<br />Been thinking about you all day.<br />Acacia walked up to a group of friends and said, "hey guys!" Instant flashback. Weird how your kids pick up on stuff, huh?<br /><br />Loved reading your mommy reformation posts. I just fell off the meal planning wagon. It was great, I'm sure I'll try again sometime. Only thing that has stuck is that Friday night is homemade pizza night and we grill and do big salads on the weekend.<br /><br />I am reminded of a time 10 years ago when you invited me over to hang and have dinner. Your poured a bag of chips into a big, cool bowl and sprinkled cheese on top. Stuck it in the microwave and we had nachos. Hmmmm, I may try that this week. It was pretty good.

They are fine with it. Are they missing out on something?<br />I guess the menu planning thing is helpful for people who actually cook real meals like caseroles and multiple items.<br />Last week I halfway planned:<br /><br />Monday I made pasta.<br />On Tuesday I planned to have a rice based meal.<br />Wednesday was bible study so we ate veggies/fruit and lunch meat from the deli.<br />Thursday is daddy night so Creighton always takes the kids out.<br />Friday/Saturday/Sunday we grill meat and have a mammoth salad.<br /><br />I just want to keep it simple.<br /><br />That being said, I do want to expand my repertoire, adding other meats like baby shrimp or pork roast or something.<br />In the winter I do use the crock pot quite a bit.<br /><br />Your thoughts?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859209493621674328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652671485699197744.post-17753566476310938292010-08-25T15:46:53.683-07:002010-08-25T15:46:53.683-07:00I've had lots of comments over the years about...I've had lots of comments over the years about how early my kids go to bed... and about how protective I am of their bedtime. Yet, if they don't get to bed on time, the next day is hell! And my oldest has always gotten up early no matter what time she went to bed, so it has been easier for ME to make sure they're in bed on time pretty much every night.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740600550526198566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652671485699197744.post-14288014278701378252010-08-24T20:16:57.340-07:002010-08-24T20:16:57.340-07:00Love your honesty and openness, my friend.

I would suggest night time baths..it is relaxing and it's just one more thing that you don't have to do in the morning. Plus I just loved when the dermatalogist said that we don't really need or should bath or shower every day. I don't follow that rule, but I didn't did stressed out if the kids missed a night. Do you think that had anything to do with my kids getting the nickname of "smelly??Kathy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735618611877260756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652671485699197744.post-90040687316174997292010-08-24T18:44:42.769-07:002010-08-24T18:44:42.769-07:00oh, and one other thing--I found this: www.thiswe...oh, and one other thing--I found this: www.thisweekfordinner.comTaylor Fuersthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107063129590330077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652671485699197744.post-6728136158274443322010-08-24T18:37:51.099-07:002010-08-24T18:37:51.099-07:00You can do it Nikki!

Our challenge is having 1 planner who doesn't like to cook much, and 1 cook who doesn't like to plan. Chaos ensues!<br /><br />Oh well. Grace for us, too!
