Grocery list and menu planning

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
This last year I had a lot of fun shopping at Pick N Save on Wedensday and Saturday because of there promotioanl DOUBLE COUPON DAY!  Unfortunately they ended it on the 1st of the year!  :(  I wish I would have kept all my receipts to see how much I saved.  I would use all my dollar off coupons and save two dollars and then combine that with the weekly sales and I was getting AWESOME deals!  I will miss it..:(

So one of my goals is to start to menu plan so I can stay on a food budget easier and stress less about what is for dinner, and go out to eat even less!!  Our schedule is so different because many nights we are not home for dinner until late.  Wednesday's is FUSE night so Selah and I will eat together while daddy is at work, Thursday we have Awana so we eat a simple meal, I work at the Y on Monday and Fridays and am not home until 7ish.  My mind frame before was whats the point of planning when we barely get to enjoy a meal together, but our family has been eating later in the evening and that is ok.  My hubby helps out many times that I am at the YMCA and he will cook.  He does enjoy cooking so that is nice!  I really want to cut back on the quick drive threw foods, and have easy things to cook, or better yet use my slow cooker more often!  :)  SLOW COOKER ALL THE WAY!!!  Do you have any good recipes to share???

As I was ready to start making my list for the store and menu plan I thought I will find a free template online and I am super excited I came across the blog:  "Faithful Provisions" -  You shall check it out!  :)  So right on her blog she has 2 templates that i am using for making my grocery list and menu plan.  You just click and type and print, no feature to save but that is ok I have no need to save it!  :)

To see the the grocery list go here:  http://www.faithfulprovisions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/budget_list_autofill.pdf

To see the menu  plan go here:  http://www.faithfulprovisions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/meal_plan_autofill.pdf

Here's to hoping that menu planning and grocery lists are helpful here at the Flanigan house! So I have some easy recipes picked out and a slow cooker recipe for next week!  Feel free to share your favorite recipes!  :) I need some new ideas to shake it up a bit around here!

To update I have enjoyed the menu on the fridge but I have changed and switched a few of the days! I think that is normal though!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
