Weekly layout and meal plan 4/17-4/24

I’m insanely late with my meal plan and weekly layout, and frankly, I’m not super impressed with it or anything, lol.

I am pretty excited about the beef stew-I made a double batch and froze some, since I’m desperately trying to prep some freezer meals, especially for when we decide to start reintroducing foods, so that I don’t just go for convenience.

Ok seriously… how do people have these neat planners?? Their handwriting is perfect, they have nothing scratched out lol… I mean, I’m writing in mine on the go half the time, and it just looks so messy!! ??

My goal is to one day have a pretty Planner. ?

But here it is, and although it’s not exactly gorgeous, it’s pretty functional for me.

As you can see, my blog plan for the week is a bust already. ?

Baby steps. 

Ha!

Well, I’m hoping to get some more posts up, including more Whole30 recipes, since I got way behind on that! ?

Have a great rest of the week!

Reading list

I love reading. 

I remember when I read my first chapter book, and I told my grandpa, an avid reader, and he was SO proud of me, that I became proud of myself, and it fueled my love for reading even more.

Then I went to nursing school, and my life was no longer my own lol! And then I became an adult and had adult responsibilities, including home ownership, and somewhere along the way, reading fell off the list of essentials and onto the list of “someday, again.”

But no longer! I am determined to carve out time to read books that have been accumulating on my kindle, and in order to not get overwhelmed with “I want to read them allllllll! Now!!” I found this lovely printable reading list! Thanks to the lovely designer for offering it free of charge! You can find it here:

Now, y’all know how much I love my Happy Planner. ? Naturally, I wanted to size it to fit in my planner, so I can keep it in my trackers section! To print this for the classic HP size, I reduced it to about 80%, which lets me cut it leaving a little extra on the side I want to punch, without punching into the design area.

I printed it on light cardstock, and punched with my HP punch. 


Ahhh… ? 

If you’re curious, here is my reading list… I have probably an odd variety of tastes in reading materials lol! Ah well, what can I say?


My goal is to carve out 20-30 minutes each night before bed to read. I’m also hoping this stills my mind more than browsing Pinterest or frantically making to do lists in my head for the next day lol! Perhaps I will sleep better. ☺️

What are you currently reading, and what’s on your reading list? Do you have a wish list? I’m starting a books wish list on Amazon! ? You know, for after I tackle the 87 books I already own and want to read haha!
