Looking back, I underestimated how packed my schedule was last week. Our main goal was to help our 6yo transition back to the school routine after being on Spring Break.
That meant I went back to being the school shuttle driver... and I juggled that role with all my work responsibilities. Plus some meetings for my various volunteer roles... plus a virtual conference for work for most of the day on Saturday. By the time that conference was over, I had nothing left in the tank.
So, I allowed myself to slow down a bit today... Since I was busy yesterday, I wanted to spend some focused time with the kids. I got some good snuggle time in with our son and read an entire chapter book with our daughter. I even had some time to chip away at some of the smaller to-dos that have been on my list for a while.
While I wouldn't say I'm fully recharged, I'm feeling a lot better about being able to handle the busy week ahead. Though, I'd feel better if I were further along with the laundry right now! 😂
While I wait for this cycle to finish, I'm going to share our menu plan. If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner at our house this week, then keep reading!
PS. I'm hoping to have a new post ready later this week. Since Earth Day is later this month, I want to share some of my family's favorite eco-friendly products. So stay tuned!
A Week of Dinners: April 11 - April 17

I make a variation of the recipe linked above that doesn't include cabbage. And, honestly, I've never seen soup disappear so quickly as this soup -- the kids love it! - Monday: Tortellini with Marinara Sauce
- Tuesday: Mongolian Meatball Ramen
- Wednesday: Leftovers
- Thursday: Easy One-Skillet Sausage and Peppers with Rice
- Friday: Pizza with Eggplant, Grape Tomatoes, and Fresh Mozzarella
