Menu Plan Monday!

This week is pretty busy for our family. I picked up a second day to sub, so I will be out of the house on Wednesday and Thursday while my little one stays at home with my MIL. I have given her strict orders on when to put the crockpot on for Wednesday, that means an easy recipe must ensue! We also switched Bennett’s swim class to Tuesday nights instead of Thursdays. I wanted Nic to be able to join, and I also wanted regular naps during the day–drives me nuts when we don’t get naps in. (My boy is a cranky thing if he doesn’t get his naps!) Then come Saturday, we celebrate Bennett’s half birthday and Valentine’s day–where we will venture out to P.F.Chang’s!

Dessert Ideas: 

While blog hopping looking for some yummy meals for this week’s dinner, I came across some absolutely delicious-looking desserts! I thought about making one this afternoon, but figured I would hold off until some special moment when I just had to have something sweet. Then the facebook world spoke to me when a friend actually posted that she had a mug cake tonight, and that was it…I then decided I would be making one for dinner fine dessert. 

My Weekly Meal Plan: 

I do my grocery shopping on Mondays after Bennett’s morning nap, and after Stroller Strides. I generally do my planning some what on Sunday and finish it up on Mondays during that nap. One thing that saves SO MUCH TIME, is the website Plan to Eat (link below menu plan). I can import the recipe from any website I find, then place it where on the date I want in the planner on the website. It then will create my shopping list for me, categorizing everything! It truly is amazing. Give it a shot! 


Monday- Crisp Bean Burrito and Mexican Rice
Tuesday- Sticky Sesame Chicken with Basmati Rice
Wednesday- Crockpot Cheeseburgers with Sweet Potato Fries
Thursday- Slow Cooker Tortellini
Friday- Date Night
Saturday- Date Night
Sunday- Chicken Gloria

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so m Today my sweet baby turns 8. He has taught my so much about being a mother, and I love watching him grow every year. He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on! Kroger now has an amazing new membership that offers FREE next day grocery delivery. They are also giving 2X the fuel points for every dollar spent* on groceries. All of this and much more for $59/Year! We love getting our groceries from Kroger as it saves so much time and money, in more places then just the grocery store.
