Call it March Madness, but I am really looking forward to the “Not Going Out In March Challenge”, but I don’t think my boys are. When I proposed the idea to my family, there were replies of “you are crazy”, “we’ll never make it”, and “I’ll never have a Happy Meal again!” . I’m going to be optimistic though, and say that we can do it, or come pretty close.
Getting ready for the month has been fun too. I worked out a menu plan for Dinner, and then I’ve got the first week’s lunches planned too. I think I’ll even get up extra early and make breakfast for my hubby to take to work, if the boy’s sleep good at night.
I also broke the month down into weekly shopping lists. I went through the list, and took out all of the items that I could find at a better price at Aldi. My best friend Shaunna and I made a big run to Aldi and stocked up for the month. I’ll fill in here and there with more grocery items as needed.
So the pantry is stocked, and I’m ready to go, now if I can just get the boys on my side. Hmmm maybe I can persuade them with homemade brownies.
Ummmm! I bet you could persaude them with homemade brownies! You could me, I know! 😉 You can do it nico!
Blessings!
Thanks Marva! You crack me up! We are doing pretty good so far, and I making some Sugar Cookies today, so we have a few more desserts on hand.
Ah the power of brownies! Just make sure to hide them when Corrynn comes over. She ate 5 yesterday. I think your guys will get into the routine and the complaints will be fewer soon.
Thanks Stacey! We love brownies over here too 🙂 Today we are making Iced Sugar Cookies for dessert tonight 🙂 I hope the boys will like them. I’m also making homemade Arby’s tonight, so we’ll see how it goes 🙂
