Menu Plan Monday - 21 Day Fix

Happy May!
 I am really hoping this month brings some warmer weather with it!
Today is not looking bad so far! We have a high of 78 predicted! YAY!!


This month, I am getting back into my 21 Day Fix routine. Starting today with the cardio workout, and my fresh new meal plan. I have been loosely following this plan for the last couple months, but I didn't realize that I had dropped down a bracket, so I was over-planning. I am happy to say that I now have the next three weeks planned out with the correct number of each food group! : ) All of the dinner recipes (except one) are saved to my 21 Day Fix Board on Pinterest, so you can find them, plus many others, there. I will also have individual links posted each day!

Let's get to it, shall we?

Menu PLan Monday - New adventures

Good morning!! Happy Monday!

Last week was so busy! I had a bunch of random things happening, and totally forgot to post my meal plan on Monday, and never got a chance to the rest of the week.
We enjoyed lots of outside time in the warm sunshine and had some ducks come right up and visit us at the park! My favorite part of Spring is seeing all the new colors in the garden! Do you have a favorite?
This little guy was so excited to have ducks come right up and say hello!

Bring be ALL the beautiful flowers!!
 
I have a couple big changes coming up in the next few months. I'm sharing one today because A) It's super exciting, and B) it's happening this week!!
I will be getting my call to place my order and officially become a fashion consultant with LuLaRoe!! If you haven't heard of LuLaRoe yet, I am so sad for you! They carry the most amazingly soft leggings, and many styles of tops, dresses, and skirts for every size! The prints are beautiful. You may have seen some of my photos over on my Facebook page of me wearing some of my LuLaRoe pieces. I highly recommend you check it out! And, if you're feeling lucky, I have a giveaway going on right now for $10 off and free shipping! All you have to do is join the group and tell me what style you would love to see (or try!) in my shop! So easy!!
These are (almost) all of my leggings!

And one of my favorite pieces, the Amelia dress. It has pockets! And it goes great with my little Amelia :)

Menu Plan Monday - April 11

Good morning! How do you like the new layout??
I almost forgot it was Monday and that I needed to post my menu plan! Thank goodness I remembered!
Last week was full of checkups for the kiddos, a youth retreat for our oldest, and an last minute trip to drive 4 hours to go look at a potential house! So fun, but mama's tired. I also cleaned out the fridge and learned two very good lessons last week - It's always a good thing to stay on top of cleaning out the fridge -and- It's always a good idea to check the fridge before going grocery shopping. I usually try to clean out the fridge every week (leftover night!) but the last two weeks, the meals we've had didn't have leftovers, so there was no need to empty out those.However, I went grocery shopping, came home and deiced that was the time to clean out and reorganize the fridge, and found out that we now have 4 pounds of baby carrots, and two big brand new bottles of mustard. OOPS!! Too bad they can't be eaten together! Haha But- the fridge is happy again. Which makes me happy. :D

Before! :(

So.Much.Better.
