Don’t laugh, but I’ve started to do something organized. Menu Planning! With baby #2 on the way and baby #1 starting to eat his weight everyday, it’s become apparent that we have A) less time and B) less money to waste in the area of FOOD. So for the past couple of weeks I’ve been planning out a weekly menu, making a detailed shopping… list, and sticking to the budget! For those of you that know me will find this hard to believe…but don’t fear – there’s still plenty of other areas in my life that are chaotic and make no sense whatsoever.

Anyway, I just found this blog post about another mom who does the same thing. Funny enough, her process she outlines is very similar to what I’ve been doing. I’m just not as good yet. I’d LOVE to feed my family for $80-$120 a week. Maybe she doesn’t have all boys. Maybe they’re midgets.
