for the next 12 days is HARD!!! haha i figured mondays i'll do pizza night...wednesdays sgetti night so that takes some thinking out of that....and just fill in the blanks....with other ideas....that i can mix and match depending on what i want to make that night....nothing will be set in stone....but the 18th 19th and 20th i have to keep it real simple cause they'll be here replacing my windows and i dunno how long they'll take....etc....lol i hope they do the kitchen windows first though!

I started doing this when Nate was a newborn - it really helped out. I hate going home and having to deal with "what are we having for dinner". I've done it on and off the last almost 3 years, but I'll probably start it up again once Mason's born. But you're right - it's hard!!

I do that but not 12 days at a time. I go shopping once a week and shop for a menu so that I have full meals ready. I don't always have a specific day that each meal will be cooked. I try to have a mix of easy and quick meals and a few that have a little more prep time. That way on busy nights I always have something simple to pull out. It is time to make a summertime menu to shop from.

I do pretty much what Ang does....
