I don’t always write New Year’s Resolutions. I think that it can become something that we do just for the sake of doing it and then not following through. I find that it works best if I do monthly evaluations of how I am doing with my goals and it works wonders for me to...












Thank you, thank you for posting about this subject! I swear to you dinner and lunch for the hubby is my nemesis! I dread the phrase “what’s for dinner.”
I use to do the same thing you have done on your calendar. I came up with themes too such as…
Monday (Mexican Food)
Tuesday (Italian)
Wednesday (Our favorite meal/s)
Thursday (American)
Friday (Something new)
Saturday (go out)
Sunday (we always have dinner with my husband’s family.)
Then on the calendar I would fill in what the meals were going to be. I like your way too! I seems simple and functional.
I don’t know why I stopped doing this because it saved me time, money and I was a lot less stressed about dinners. Plus, I knew the hubs would have lunch the next day. I really need to get back into doing this. Thank you for the encourage meant!
On a side note, I too have a “semi” picky eater. Crew isn’t a past love either which seems weird to me. Kids love pasta, right?! He doesn’t like meats either. The boy could live off bread, pb&j, fruit, yogurt, cereal, fruit, some veggies (not many, I have to make fruit smoothies with veggies in them). It just difficult to make dinner because a lot of meals consist of pasta and meat. I too am trying to only allow him to eat what we eat, but I don’t want him to go to bed hungry. Trust me, he did one night and I got a midnight wake up call with a screaming kid… he was hungry. So now I encourage him to try what we are eating. He sits with us until we are done eating, then if he’s still hungry after dinner I give him a banana and some milk. Wow… Kids are tricky.
