i believe the commitment to our home & the work of our hands should be beautiful, creative & enjoyable.
i love making our own laundry soap because it saves us money & i get to put it in a pretty jar when i am finished. i don’t mind sweeping our kitchen floors because the broom has a well-made wooden handle & looks like one my great grandmother might have used. i get a little giddy when i sit down on sunday evenings to meal plan because my paper meal planner inspires me.
above is the usual scene you will see when i am meal planning: a pretty bouquet on the table with a candle lit & a cup of coffee in hand. my homemaking binder continues to be a work-in-progress (i hope to share that with you sometime soon!), but it is filled with all-natural home product recipes & the loveliest meal planner pages.
i have used a lot of meal planners in my day from scraps of paper to free printables online. they were all fine, but they didn’t exactly fit the needs of our family & i wasn’t left inspired. when i came across amy j delightful’s meal planning kit, i jumped on the opportunity & purchased one. it is full of helpful pages from a freezer inventory to printable recipe cards.
i specifically love this meal planning kit because it includes a space for every meal. i noticed that when i didn’t plan my lunch, i made a poor choice & simply ate leftovers or whatever i saw first (i.e. tortilla chips with cheese melted on top). this meal planner allows me to plan our breakfast, lunches & dinner. i can now plan & enjoy a big salad when it’s written on the meal plan & i have purchased extra greens.
i also love the grocery list. i print it out, put it on a clipboard & walk around my kitchen writing down foods we need. i bring that same clipboard to the store with me & cross off items as i shop.
would you like to win a meal planning kit from amy j delightful? i am so excited to offer one today!
