Enjoy this August 2021 meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.
Oh my stars has it been hot here! In this last week of July (when I’m writing this), it’s been really hot. And for 2 of the hottest days this month, we went to an Amusement Park. We tried to be pretty good with sunscreen and staying in the shade (when possible), but it was still a couple of long days in the hot, hot, hot sun. We did pretty good – a couple of boys had the tops of their ears get sunburnt and I had some red on my nose. But, other than that, we did well!
And now we’re soaking in the next few days that we have left before school starts. Just another week and a half and school will start for us. One of my sons is really excited – he’s starting Kindergarten! The rest of them aren’t too excited, but they aren’t dreading it either. So I’ll take it!
It also looks like I’ll be working from home for a good long while. For sure until the end of this year, but then probably even most days after next year. We’ll have to see, but I do love the flexibility it provides me to dash out of my office (and by ‘office’, I mean ‘corner of my bedroom’) and plug in the slow cooker at the right time. Can’t beat that! But, no matter what, I feel better about life when I have a menu plan. I just don’t like the stress of having to make a last minute plan, ya know? Ya know.
