Goal #2 Half Completed: First two weeks of November shopping done in one day with a trip to Costco and one to Safeway.
This time I was sneaky about creating the menu and got hubby to help choose some meals for the month. I waited until he was comfortably posted up in bed with his laptop and then brought in every single cookbook and recipe card I own. Plopped them right down in the middle of the bed and told him if he didn't want fish and vegetarian meals all month he better go through and pick out some man-meals. And it worked! Two hours of time after the kids went to bed on Halloween and I had not only a month of meals decided on but I also had a shopping list created for the first two weeks of November! Woohoo victory lap for me!
In my overly-proud excitement I, of course, had to text my sister the awesome news. She then proceeded to advise me that I now needed to organize her life since I had mine under control. Ha! When does one ever have life under control? Being the awesome little sister that I am, I took photos of my menu and shopping list and sent them to her. See, I finally learned how to share. Only took a quarter of a century, no big deal...
I also learned how to share documents on Blogger. You too can see and print the awesomeness that is my November Menu! (Mini preview below)
While hubby may laugh at me and my ecstatic mood, I am uber proud of myself for completing the meal plan for the month and having a set grocery list before going to the store. Baby A and I dropped Miss K off to school and proceeded to spend two (just two!) hours getting everything we needed for the next two weeks! Oh, and I also remembered to eat before we went grocery shopping so I didn't feel the need to bring the whole store home.
