When we approach our weekly blessings, we take under consideration our work, school & activity schedule. Too often, we forget to make food a part of our calendar.

I know this might seem overwhelming to add “one more thing” but in reality, you are serving your future self in a way that will empower you immensely.

In order to achieve a weekly menu for my family, I start by looking at the busiest days of the week. The days where it seems impossible to reach the kitchen. Then I ask myself a few simple questions: “Where will we eat? What time will it be & what would be fulfilling and time effective?” Then I can plan appropriately.

On the days that are more tranquil, reward your future-self by meal prepping for the busy days of the week. It is all about you helping you, so you are able to connect with your family

No matter what your goal is, offer yourself grace when you do not achieve it. There are no perfect situations or solutions to your busy lifestyle.

Shame destroys the heart while grace restores it.

Some weeks you just won’t be able to do it all. Everything is about balance.

Be kind to yourself.
