Every week, I sit down and craft a menu plan for my family. Most of the time, we stick to it. Especially when our weeks are busy and there is no time to stray from our plan. This week is a week like that. Taking a few minutes to decide ahead of time what we're going to eat, makes the rest of my week run much smoother. Monday: Chicken Ziti and Broccoli.

Where have I been all month? Struggling to adjust to our back to school routine! Between early bedtime for The Boy and waking up much earlier (for me!), I can't seem to get my act in gear.

We survived the last week of summer and the first day of school! I cannot believe that I have a FIRST GRADER! It's so crazy so quickly time passes. I'm just getting adjusted to our new routine. That's partly why this Whip It Up Wednesday post is being written on Thursday! Back to school is hard on moms, too. This week, things are quiet around here as I do laundry, purge clothing that no longer ...
