2011 Tools [Menu Planner]

I recently "splurged" on myself with a one year subscription to real simple magazine. [ok, so it wasn't really a splurge considering I ordered it on Amazon.com for $10 which I paid for with free giftcards from swagbucks.]

anyway...

I received the issue for january a while back and it contained the above page in it. When I saw it, I thought, this is my kind-of menu planner. [you can download the pdf here]

no more forgetting that one ingredient.

no more prancing around the different sections of the grocery store because my list is all jumbled.

no more running out of room on my piece of scratch paper that my list is on.

and on top of that, it's cute!

2011 Tools [Bible Read Thru Plan]

Although I didn't complete this last year, I LOVED this Bible Read-thru plan and will be doing it again this year. Thanks, Paige!

Some things I love about it are:

• Each month only has 25 reading days, so if you miss a day, you automatically have "catch-up days." Amazing.
  
• You're in the gospels ALL year. Talk about getting to know Jesus a little better.
• For some reason it's that type of reading plan that really make me want to read ahead, which is a good thing!

Enjoy!

PS: Comment if you want me to email the PDF to you!
