In Which I Plan the Week's Menu

Here is our plan for the week of 2/20 - 2/26. 


Monday

  • Scrambled Eggs, Turkey Bacon, Fruit
  • Peanut Butter & Jelly Picnic, Finger Fruits and Veggies, Oatmeal Cookies
  • Chicken Stirfry
Tuesday
  • Toaster Strudel/Toast, Fruit
  • Sandwiches
  • Tacos
Wednesday
  • Cereal
  • Sandwiches
  • Penne Pasta Bake, salad
Thursday
  • Cereal
  • Lunch Out
  • Dinner Out -- OR Spaghetti with steamed veggies
Friday
  • Toaster Strudel/Toast
  • Leftovers
  • Personal Pizzas with steamed veggies
Saturday
  • Pancakes
  • Spinach Salad
  • Beans & Cornbread with steamed veggies
Sunday
  • Cereal
  • Lunch Out
  • Slow cooker chicken, new potatoes, steamed veggies/salad
I'm not sure which chicken I'll make in the slow cooker, so I may spend some time this week searching for something new for that. I may also scrap that whole idea and do something lite, depending on our community group plans for that day.

At some point this week I plan to try a new low GI Granola Bar recipe (the first was really good, but not as crunchy as I would like them to be, so we'll see how these work), and may make some more freezable baked oatmeal muffins since they are such a great, easy way for Grayson to have his cereal and fruit in the morning.   Brooklyn is going to buy her lunch all week, since she made such good choices when we tried it last week, and Grayson and I are going to work on giving up his mid-morning bottle (yikes!).

A Day in Jaime's Homeschool (ages 10, 6, and 4)

Our days in this season of life follow a very relaxed structure. Each day has such very different demands. While I would prefer to go with the flow, whatever that may be, my kids prefer a more defined plan. They like to know what to expect at any given moment. So our daily rhythm falls somewhere between these two extremes.  My day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with coffee and my Bible. I love connecting through Hello Mornings because of its grace based approach to starting my day in submission to the Lord. Through accountability, community, and Bible study I get that flexible structure I need - a big theme in my life right now! My "early riser" (the four year old) will often join me on the couch while I read. My husband makes breakfast while I enjoy a second cup of coffee and supervise morning chores. By 9 AM he is out the door to work (except when he's not...because that would be too easy.) At this point I give my kids a warning that we will start our school day at 9

Dear Grayson,

As I write this, you are about 18" long and 3.2 lbs. About the size of a head of lettuce.  We have approximately 8 weeks and 5 days to go before your scheduled debut.  But here's the fun of it. Daddy and I are planning a C-section, which is traditionally scheduled about a week before the due date. That makes the countdown 7 weeks.  Now we are also dealing with some blood pressure issues, and the doctors are just hoping to get us as far along as we can. The family is starting to take bets on when you will be born. Here is what's going on... Mommy's blood pressure is high.  It's staying around 140/80.  Since the first of the year, the doctors have had me on modified bed rest, meaning that I could get up and do a little around the house, but need to take it easy.  No going to work or hard partying ;0) It really hasn't been so bad. The first week I was able to do some work from home, which kept me busy.  Then last week Atlanta had a tremendous winter storm and
