Time for one of my busiest months!!! My monthly menu plan is such a life saver, especially during my crazy months. I use to dread that time of day when I was suppose to start dinner only to wonder what to make. And then wonder if we had the ingredients. It’s been 2 1/2 years of planning my monthly meal dinner ideas and I am so thankful I started doing this. In the month of April I have 3 family birthdays, Easter, and 4 choir concerts. Life gets pretty busy. Trying to stay organized really helps me get things done.
And I recently shared my menu board that helps remind me when to start crock pot meals or pull meat out of the freezer. Visual reminders are a must! I love saving time and money. And I hope that I can make things easier for your family to have dinner together! I love hearing from readers that their families enjoy new recipes or they are more organized when they get dinner ideas planned for the week or month. I hope these posts are helping your family too!

We are so excited to celebrate our family birthdays (posts to follow) this month. But we are also excited for the chance to teach our children the real meaning of Easter. You can find this Christ Centered Easter Countdown here. I love the ease of having resources together so I can focus on teaching my kids.
