month by month

I've actually stuck with my monthly meal calendars this whole time. I really love having that at-a-glance list of meal ideas. I get the week's groceries usually on Sunday or Monday. Then I can swap out anything that week for any other night, especially good for nights with unexpected happenings. It's been a really great help.
I got all my Christmas favorites done this past weekend. The stollen for Christmas morning is in the freezer; the honey cakes, and a few other cookies are in the tin. I need to get the Christmas Eve soup in the frige so I'm not in a hurry that day, but that will probably get made Thursday or Friday.
I love the holidays. Maybe it's even the influence of the monthly calendar, but I was able to get myself ready to go for all my services so I'm not rushed at the last minute. Yay! Baby steps...
