3 Tips for Family Meal Planning
3 Tips for Family Meal Planning

I’ve been working over the Summer to implement new routines for success and organization, and out of that came a meal planning routine. Prior to this, my family would ask me everyday, “what’s for breakfast”, “what’s for dinner”, “can I have a snack”, and the list goes on. Needless to say, I got tired of that. Also, as a result of not pre-planning our meals, I was doing a lot of ordering out. I finally had enough and decided to come up with an effective meal planning system, and I’m sharing it with you. Best of all, the steps I’m sharing will save you so much time weekly.

Summer 2022 Bucket List: Family Edition
Summer 2022 Bucket List: Family Edition

Happy First Day of Summer! I’m so excited for the next 90+ days of sunshine and fun. Summer has always been one of favorite seasons. Not just because my birthday is in August, but more so because Summer just has such a leisurely and enjoyable vibe in general. It is the season after all where people vacation the most and even school is on break. I was in the first trimester of my pregnancy with the twins last Summer, and I was so sick and in the bed a lot of the time. Needless to say, I intend to be outside this year! I’ll be doing a lot with my family, and here’s a round of up of some things on my summer bucket list.
