Okay, so seriously. I don’t know how normal people do this. I can’t imagine working full time and having 2 kids in school, plus {multiple} sports practice, school activities, birthday parties, family functions and still have my wits about me to put a healthy meal on the table at the end of the day without having a mini meltdown. I thought working from home was challenging. HOLY CRACK.
You should give yourself a high five if you are a working parent!!! I have learned so much these past few weeks with my little side gig… it’s like I knew people struggled with trying to juggle everything, but seeing/doing it is WAY different. It’s fascinating. Okay, so that’s probably not the word you would use… but I’m kind of weird and totally enjoying this process. I am turning into such a micro time manager and I’m loving it.
yada yada yada…
I didn’t do a lot of meal prep this week because I already have a bunch of freezer meals in the freezer. Next week though, I except to fill the freezer up again though. Here’s what I bought/made this past week:
Fred Meyer $6.11 after iBotta rebates and Fred Meyer freebies, and ecoupons.
Fred Meyer $11.01 after a peelie and iBotta – I guess they didn’t sell as many vegetables at Thanksgiving as they had planned for because everything was on clearance. Yee haw!
Target $2.58 – Who knew Target had good prices on produce?
Albertsons $7.48
Seriously. I have been trying to buy oranges for the past 2 months now but every single time a store had them on sale the oranges were yellow/semi orange. FINALLY …. a good batch of oranges! Yay for little victories.
I Also made 5 mini cheesecakes and a batch of brownies. Cinnamon rolls rule. And yes, I did ice them.
Salmon salad.
Pasta salad with salmon. My lunch for this week.
Last weeks lunches pretty much looked like this.
Lentils and rice. I could pretty much live off if them.
Grilled cheese and a baby cheesecake. Plus, we ate a few freezer meals.
How about YOU? Did you buy anything exciting last week? And all you working women out there…. HOW DO YOU DO IT? How do you get everything done? Do tell!
