Today is the first day of school for my oldest starting Kindergarten. Ummm, wow. I pulled out my Daily Schedule again last week to revamp it for this new school mom life. I plugged in my new duties of school carpool and Landis’ new dance class and added some intentional time with my three little ones. And, wow is my day full before I even start! But that’s what I love about having a schedule. I can actually see what time I really have and how I need to plan. This is also where I’m super thankful for freezer cooking and my Six-Week Meal Rotation.
Since this week is the last week of the month and I used a chunk of our grocery money to buy my bulk wheat order and 1/16 of a cow, I had only $15 left in my Groceries Envelope. So I planned a week where I have most meals already in the freezer and only had to buy milk, produce, and a few other items. And amazingly, I stuck to our cash spending plan (after borrowing the rest from the Dining Out Envelope). :) So, we won’t be going out to eat any this week, but I also won’t be doing a lot of cooking thanks to my freezer stash.
If you want to know more about my freezer cooking plan, you read more about that here.
