as busy moms with seven kids between us, a thriving business, and a huge event coming up in september, we know what it’s like to have 73 balls in the air at once. what has saved our sanity most over 20+ years of motherhood is meal prep + planning. every family is different, so you have to find what works best for you, but we recommend a version of the following.
pick a day of the week to meal plan and do it consistently
look at your calendar for the week ahead to see which days require something quick and easy, and which days allow more time
plan out meals for each day
make your grocery list as you plan
choose a day you can prep ingredients or plan to purchase prepared foods that save time
follow your plan!
