Simplified Meal Planner
This year I started using a daily Simplified planner for all of my day to day activities instead of The Happy Planner I have used in the past. Being a little over a week in, I have really liked the planner itself. I think it will become exceptionally helpful once Melody is in school. My big dilemma was now meal planning. There is a note section in the daily planner, but I found myself using it for other things and not having the room for meals. I thought about the weekly notepad I bought, but it still didn’t provide me quite enough space. One week while doing my grocery pickup, I was able to snag a weekly Simplified planner at Walmart. This is NOT a signature planner like the one I bought directly through Emily Ley. It was 1/5 of the price and not quite as nice as the other, but it provides me the space I was hoping for.
The Happy Planner 2018
I know, I know, it is 2019! But I wanted to share with you the planner I used in 2018. I am using the same brand of planners for 2019, but I am trying out a different style. I want to use it a few weeks before I tell you all about it so I know how it works for me! So let me share with you my 2018 planner and how it evolved over the year!
Meal Planning
A few years ago I did a post about how I make our monthly menu and grocery lists. A lot about how I do that has not changed, but I did want to update you on how I actually decide on our meals these days. Being a stay at home mom means cooking in a lot more. Having a baby means not traveling and going out as much in general. So I have had to make a few adjustments to my process. The steps are still the same for the most part. I will refer to each of the steps and note any changes I have made to accommodate our new needs.
