LifeSeasoning: March 2013

Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Stop Stressing Over Dinner

This morning, as I was thinking about my day, the thought occurred to me that many of you may struggle with the same daily issues that I do.

One of the biggest issues that I face everyday is "what to do about dinner"? I sometimes cringe when a my kids ask me that question and I just love when there is silence after I give an answer. So I have decided to put my struggle out here for all the world to see and share what I have learned as I work through this daily issue. Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we go on this journey together.

For me, the goal is to have a basic plan for the week, so that I eat a home cooked meal that is healthy,and easy to prepare. In the long run, this will save money, time and alleviate the stress of dinner. I won't post daily because that might be way too stressful, so posting twice a week is what I am shooting for. Today I will look at how last week went, what did my family eat and how does this week compare between schedules and activities to last week. Why don't you do the same and we can compare notes!
