I’ve been working on getting these meal plans finished and I’m over halfway there! I won’t go into a lot of detail but this is the same format as the Winter Plan, the Summer Plan, and the Spring Plan, but with a few different recipes to change things up. I really can’t tell you how many times my family has thanked me for these menu plans! They are loving all the benefits of having all of these meals pre-planned.

No catchy title line here… no time for that today as the kids and the dog have been WILD! I’m exhausted and it isn’t even lunchtime yet!
We are almost halfway through the first month of the year and I’m already behind on my garden duties! Granted, we have had some CRAZY weather here and the house remodel has taken first priority but things still have to get planned so we can try to have an even more abundant garden this coming year!
I’ve been working on some Planning Notebook pages soon but for now, I’ll just list some of the things I’ve been working on for the garden. I have been playing around with a new planning program called SEEDTIME. It really does seem like it will be quite the time saver as I’ve been keeping up with my gardening task on notecards in a small file system… quite cumbersome at times.

Whew! What a year we had in 2023. We definitely had some ups and downs and lots of crazy unexpected things but we were so blessed to have spent it surrounded by friends and family who loved us!
This year, I am determined to streamline a lot of my processes and make things a little less stressful… I long for the days when I was so organized and things seemed to go smoothly with little effort. I know a lot of that has been due to things we had going on so I’ve been working on getting things back on track here. I find that breaking big projects into smaller bite-size pieces helps me out a lot.
Around the holidays I started working on this packet to help me with my Holiday/Party Planning. I can print out a new packet or just make copies of a blank one and keep them in my Holiday Planner. Then I’ll be able to jot down notes and ideas as they come to me throughout the year which will hopefully make things a lot easier as the year goes on. I have also updated my calendar with reminders about checking on upcoming events.
Feel free to use these if you want, if not I’ll just leave them here so I can find them easily! There are some prefilled pages as well as some that have been left blank for you to customize to fit your needs.
Have a great day!
I’ve written a couple of posts about getting ready for the holidays and I’ve mentioned that I would be gathering ideas for activities for the kiddos. The following list is some of the activities that we already had on hand… hopefully, they will still be available for you to download if you wish. If they aren’t available a quick Google search will quickly deliver a list of fun activities.
I have already pulled out the Fall-Themed activity box for the youngest… it is just a plastic shoebox filled with fake leaves, bugs, nuts, and pinecones. She loves to dump them out and look for the bugs.

It has been such a blessing to have so many meals already prepped in the freezer so that we don’t have to head to the grocery store very often right now.
