Meal planning month to month, every month can get monotonous. Quite honestly some months I just don’t want to do it. But I know it helps keep me on top of things, and once I do it I always feel better.
As I have explained before, do I stick to it 100% of the time, no. However, it always give me a stating point and a place to look when I need ideas. It’s already all researched and the leg work is done.
To keep things fresh and not so boring I like to change it up every so often. So this month … I let me kids make our meal plan. They are home for summer and I am finding it harder to complete work tasks than when they are in school. So I put them to work. They had a blast helping me and creating this meal plan!

Love the idea of letting the kids pick the meals for this month. May have to try this with mine.😊
I’m jealous if I let my kids meal plan all we’d be eating for the month is pizza and macaroni and cheese. They are 4 and 8.
Hi sam : I have been watching your videos for along time especially the meal planning and grocery hauls they have helped me alot ,i love your little family i was wondering if you have some ideas for me I am a single mom with a son that is a picky eater thanks
Hi there, I love your videos and meal planning tips. I read you live in northern VA. We are from there but moved to Fl in 2007. I was just wondering where. We miss home. We don’t get back there. We were able to get back there last August to surprise my mom for her 88th birthday. Well thank you for all the good ideas.
I love your meal planning posts and videos! They are such a huge inspiration to me! Keep up the great work!
