Sugar Free.....again
I'm starting today to go without treats and refined sugars for the month. For me this means going without treats, syrups, and baked goods. I feel better, my skin looks better, and I loose a little extra in those unwanted places. ;) So here's to getting through the first week, which is always the hardest for me!

Meal Plan Idea
My meal planning routine has changed a few times over the years but recently I just came upon something that has been working great!
At the beginning of the month I make a list of a month's worth of meals. This month my awesome husband gave me a lot of suggestions of what he would like which is invaluable to me. Using 4x6 cards write 6 meals on each card for as many weeks are in the month. This is assuming that one day during the week will either be leftovers or eating out. Then on the back of each card you write the grocery list that you'll need for that week. I tape the cards on the inside of my cupboard and on Monday take the card with me to the grocery store and I'm all set for the week!
No more 4pm panic of "what's for dinner"! This method was taught in one of my old LDS Wards but the gal teaching laminated the cards so that at anytime she'd have a week worth of dinner ideas and the shopping list on the back. I just don't like the idea of always eating the same 6 dinner together during the week. But maybe when my kids are a bit older and we're all busy with school and extra activities it may save my sanity. :)
