Menu Plan Monday – February 8

Welcome back!

I haven’t done a Menu Plan Monday in quite some time, though I do enjoy them and I always menu plan so it should be an easy thing to keep up with.  Here’s my menu for this week.  By the way, I am starting to use E-Mealz.com to help with menu planning and to save some money as they are known to help you do both. 

This week’s menu:

1. Grilled salmon, wild rice, green beans.

2. Hamburger Steaks, cabbage, mashed potatoes.

3.  Chili dogs, fries

4.  Grilled chicken sandwiches, homemade fries.

I’ll likely add to this, as I shop on Wednesday’s and haven’t shopped for this week yet.  Plus, I’m using the new E-Mealz plan.  Excited about that.  Have you checked it out yet?  Dave Ramsey recommends it.

Things I Feel Guilty About

So, I’ve been fighting the fact that I can’t find anything to blog about, or maybe I should say I can’t find the time to blog here. Even though I want to, I long to, I enjoy it when I do, and miss it when I don’t. The fact is my life is busy, full, lively, and most of the time fun. That doesn’t keep me from feeling guilty about the things I can’t seem to get around too all the time, such as:

1. Blogging here, as I just mentioned often enough. (It has been over a week since my last post.)
2. The dirty dishes in my sink.
3. My messyliving room, bedroom, house.
4. That I don’t take my kids to story time at the local library.
5. That I don’t call my momma every day.
6. That I don’t make it to church every Sunday, even though it has been due to sick kids.

What about you? Do you have things you find yourself . . . not being able to do, though you want to, you mean to? Please share!

It’s Been a Day of Clearing

It’s definitely been a day of clearing. In more ways than just one. I cleared my desk, man was it ever a mess. You can see a before and after picture below. This was inspired by one of my new Twitter friends @MyGOMOM, Molly Gold, president of Go Mom Inc. who has been kind enough to supply me with one of her DIY planners for a giveaway next week. I’m super excited about bringing that to my little blog here.

Second, it has been a day of clearing things off of my to do list. I have a speaking engagement this weekend and tomorrow I have to be super focused on that last minute prep for that. Speaking to a group of 1st – 6th grade girls in Madison, MS.

Finally, I’m clearing off that “big goals” list. For the past 3 years, yes you read that right, THREE, I have had a goal to finish my devotional book I’ve been compiling for girls and their moms. It will be a mom-daughter devotional guide and be for that “tween” age group. Today I was talking to my book coach and friend, Kristen over at I Am Published and she gave me that final “push” so to speak. In the next few weeks the book will be being edited, formatted and all that jazz. I will soon and very soon be a “published” author. So excited!

So there you have it… man my plate feels so “clean”. I love Taking action!
