Enjoy this January 2023 meal plan with a printable calendar and easy, family-friendly recipes.
The holidays are over! But they aren’t totally, 100% over. Christmas is over. And, by the time you read this, New Year’s will probably be over – or really close to it. But my kids are still out of school for a few more days, so that still feels a little holiday-ish to me.
We had some good holidays here Lots of Legos. Lots of board & card games. My boys got Echo Dots Kids for Christmas, so we’ve had a lot of “Alexa, play ‘It’s Raining Tacos'” and a lot of “Alexa, how far away is the sun?” and “Alexa, tell me a kid joke.” It’s been a lot of Alexa and a lot of games.
I have some financial goals that I want to hit in 2023. 2022 was a strange year for us. We started out the year with both my husband and I working, but know that he was going to quit his job in May and be a Stay-At-Home Dad for the summer and then decide next steps in August. In August, he decided to remain a stay-at-home dad, so we knew the “Down to 1 Income” change was staying – at least for a while. In October, I switched jobs from a salary-job to a contractor-paid-by-the-hour job, which should have been a big salary increase for me. Except that was also right before all the holidays started. (And it still wasn’t as much as it was when we both were working.) So our income this last year was all over the board! I’m ready for things to stabilize financially.
But I’ll definitely keep menu planning – just helps me keep my sanity, but also helps keep the grocery budget where I want it to be. If you’re new to menu planning, you can use mine as a starting point. Or if you want a menu plan that includes shopping list, try this one: ‘Incredibly Easy 5-Ingredient Meal Plan and Cookbook’ available on Amazon!
