My Weekly Menu (Sept. 3rd)




Happy September!!

It's the beginning of my favorite season...FALL!! There's nothing better than sweatshirts, bonfires, football, and trips to the pumpkin patch. :) And of course we can't forget crockpot season! hahaha...I can't wait for those chilly nights so I can be reunited with my crockpot. :) 

Well this week kicks off our first week of homeschooling! I am super excited to dive into the curriculum we have picked out...which is another post to come along with pictures of our school room/area :) Since I will be homeschooling, I will be posting our lunch menu too to help keep this lady organized (if that is really possible with 5 kids...haha). This week is going to be a fun filled jam packed week with some fun activities for the kiddos and eating out to celebrate...along with it being my birthday this week too. ;) (I'm still not sure how I feel about leaving the mid 20s and heading towards the late 20s.)
