hello monday... and a meal plan attempt

hello vacation. we spent last week camping by lake michigan. it was beautiful. and the time together as a family was good for my heart. it was good for all of us. life gets so busy. calm, relaxing time together as a family is so sweet. we definitely enjoyed ourselves. here are a few pictures.....as you can guess there are plenty more to come:)

hello nothing. we have very few plans (except hitting to pool and library) from now until school starts. june was full of swim lessons, birthday, vbs, and trips. july is much quieter. i like it that way.

hello back to school shopping. ok I am not getting ahead of myself but last time I was at good ol' tar-gey school supplies were out. back to school gets hec-to the T-ic at our house. so I try to tackle back to school shopping early and get it done. so we can enjoy the end of summer and not worry about finding the yellow folder or 2x2 sticky notes:/ we have already picked up new tennis shoes, a couple new outfits and school supply shopping is our to do list for this week. 

hello meal plan. i am trying to get back on the meal plan train. i am going to start by just making a list of meal possibilities....so here is what might be cooking at our house this week....

*Pioneer Woman's buffalo chicken salads
*brats
*tacos
*one pot pasta .... found this recipe via my friend Missy. if her family likes it....there is a good chance my gang will too!
*Pioneer Woman's meatball sandwiches
*cheeseburgers

happy monday.
