Menu Plan Monday

I saw this idea on grace4today's website, but it originally started with orgjunkie.  She is hosting "Menu Plan Monday" and since I usually have a few dishes in mind for the week, but don't really plan them, I thought I'd try it out!  Here is my menu for the week...

Mon- Chicken Tetrazzini and Salad

Tues- Beef and Broccoli with Teriyaki Bown Rice

Wed- Hopefully leftovers if dh doesn't eat them all for lunch!  I also have to make a dessert for our small group that night

Thurs- some kind of crockpot chicken and potatoes.  I need to find a recipe

Fri- Baked Chicken Parmesan with Salad and Strawberries (from the menus4moms website)

Sat- Beef and Peppers with rice

If you've never seen it before, menus4moms posts a free weekly menu with recipes.  Check them out!

Thanks to orgjunkie for starting this!!!

Feeling like a real homeschooler now

We just ordered our first curriculum and are waiting for it to come, and for some reason, I haven't considered myself a "real" homeschooler until now. We have done lots of activities and teaching, but I've just thought of those as things all moms do...something about spending over $300 makes me feel official, though! I'm so excited to get started, and hopefully having lesson plans will help me feel more accountable, too. We've been pretty hit-or-miss on doing lessons, and my dd Chloe just loves them. I feel like she's been missing out because mommy is disorganized! I want to give her God's best every day!
