Another quick one today as I still have bad 3G internet on my phone. I love the idea of meal planning & had always wanted to do it. I’ve always disliked cooking but once I was cooking for Lily as well I wanted to make sure I was cooking good food. About a month or two back I did start planning our week of meals and it was fantastic. We’d do a big shop at the beginning of the week and then every couple of days we’d pick up perishables. It had to stop a few weeks ago as we were running low on money and just needed to use up what was left in the freezer. But now our financial situation is looking busy and I will start again next week.
This is an example of my meal plan. I got the idea to do the plan with the shopping list attached from this site – Small Notebook, I’ve simply tweaked it a little. As you can see, I have a place for each day’s dinner and then underneath there is the different categories for groceries. I also have a different sheet to put in recipes for the week and another which just has the activities and meals for each day to go on the fridge.

I don’t know if I will actually use this template, as I have added the meal plan to our weekly planner. But I will see how that goes and might go back to this one.

Not much to report today – my sister and I made the bed this morning (we shared a double bed with the babies). The wedding was beautiful but we came back to the room early to get the babies to sleep. I'll get our clothes out tonight and we should be heading home around lunchtime tomorrow.
