My guy read the previous post and asked me, "What is the big news?".
No news really...just life...three lil' ones...lots of daily laughs at the things they say...some moments of frustration tossed in...and all the other things that encompass the life of a busy family. We are blessed.
This morning we wrapped up our fall Bible study completing "Me, Myself, and Lies." Ever done it? This is the first Jennifer Rothschild study that I have done. There were many practical takeaways.
We ended the actual study a few weeks ago and have filled our last two week with guest speakers. Today, a friend came and spoke on meal/menu planning and freezing food to have on-hand. She really got me excited to take our meal planning to the next level. --that's some serious lingo regarding making a menu-- I already love doing this, but I get really excited over new ideas and always enjoy conversations like this with friends. It is a fun way to serve and care for my family (even though that is hard to remember at 5:30 when I'm chopping veggies while trying not to fall over a child or trying to keep another from eating all of the pantry contents before I get the food on the table) and I do love cooking. I love it even more when I realize that I am the person that the Lord chose to care for my family in this way. My planning and preparedness brings glory to the Lord because I am doing it to promote peace in our home.
Isn't it great how realizing our purpose, in any role, gives joy to daily tasks?
Before this session, I started compiling a month-long menu of my family's favorite meals. I'm fine tuning it now. I would love to share it when I get completed.
I would love to know how others meal plan. What works for your family? I am ALWAYS open to make adjustments.

i loved that too. Found your blog! :) I have all our meals planned for December. Made a list that goes in order of how you shop @ united. It helps. My next project is the notebook with all the recipes that you use a lot. We will see if i have time for that.
