Not the Menu Planning Mama!

Okay, I will admit I get a little annoyed with what I call the "Supermom Syndrome". You know the moms who wake up at 5am every morning and run 10 miles, come home and feed the kids a homemade breakfast, clean the house from top to bottom, plan the family's meals for the rest of the week, and already have dinner prepped by 9am? And the only reason you know what they've accomplished that morning is because it's posted on Facebook . . . with photos.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking them. I admire that level of energy and organization but that certainly doesn't sound like anything going on in my house. My family have always followed a natural schedule of what works for us and have just gone with the flow of our household. Well, a lot of that is about to change now that our oldest is starting Kindergarten next week.

One area of change will definitely be an earlier dinner time. Of course figuring out what to make and basically cooking, itself, has never been fun for me. It's especially not fun when you have a house full of picky eaters, including husband. I do however, want to embrace a better attitude and have less anxiety about preparing meals for my family and could probably benefit from menu planning.

I don't think I'm ready to join the Menu Planning Monday movement but I do want to start working on planning my family's meals out for the week. Maybe I'll be a rebel and start "What to Serve Sundays", LOL!
