In a few short days, my three sons will be out of school for spring break. I am excited about sleeping late and spending time with them. I am hoping for beautiful weather so we can spend some of it outside.

My plan for today was turned upside down when I ended up in the dentist chair getting crowned, so I decided to plan our menu and activities for next week. By mapping out some ideas it will help me make sure the boys and I are able to do some things together within our budget.

What are you doing for spring break?

Dealing with some physical issues has sometimes made it hard for me to cook for my family. Lately, I’ve been researching Once A Month Cooking or Investment cooking. If you are not familar with this method you may want to look deeper.

Meals are cooked or prepped for the month, usually 20 meals, and then frozen and pulled out when time to eat. There are websites that take the guess work out with menus, shopping lists, recipes and tasks. You can spend a day with a friend and have a month worth of meals for both families.

I am looking into this for our family and would love to have this planned for a month at a time. No more last minute trips to grocery store. Imagine what this would do for my food budget.

Here is the site I have visited the most:
